Oops ! Sorry some didn't pick up on it.
Sarcasm is just one of the many services we offer.

Let me be more cruel....

Buy a IZH46m....then it won't hurt so bad when you discover you can't buy even a few points of performance and probably not much in the way of dependability.

I shoot my tests at 50yds. from a Ransom Rest (supplied by my club). I shoot ten shot groups and then retest ammo that has shot expecially well, narrowing the field immediately. I'm only interested in the accurate stuff. I couldn't possibly hope to shoot as well or consistently off sandbags, especia...

Fred, I hadn't really considered it, but after thinking about it I would have to say yes. The more out of focus the bull, the "larger" it gets. It's commonly known that a change in your location will change your zero. (Light's up, sights up.) This may well be one of the factors involved. T...

Having been a professional photographer I'm well aware of the effects produced by the iris. Something to think about: when you make the iris smaller it will make the bull and sights sharper. Not necessarily a good thing. It will also change the apparent size of the bull, changing your vertical zero ...

2650 Plus

I watched a guy do that at a big match and win.

Sure made me cringe.

What's involved in mailing a pistol for repair?

One more opinion... One of my favorite guns is the Pardini K58. It has excellent grips, fabulous completely adjustable trigger, and has what it takes to compete in National class competition. It also needs no (read expensive) accessories and can be had used very reasonably. I trained a new shooter i...

One more time: Pity that Pardini no longer makes the P10, a simple SSP with great grips and trigger. It was light, easy to cock and accurate...even at its rather puny 400 fps. It was ideal for young shooters. There was a Pardini dealer on Long Island named Phil Saccio (Saccio Studio) and he sold a b...

Well, that pellet weight business drove me crazy until I could confirm what I said. I went out to the garage and shot 10 shots at a 5 meter target from 18' from the standing one hand position. Shooting RWS Basic (7gr) and JSB S100 (8.3gr) mixed I shot a 98 score 2 hole group (one hole was the two 9s...

Another quick and dirty solution that I have successfully used with an air rifle: Whack the middle of the barrel hard with a rounded piece of wood opposite the side you want the pellet to go. In your case the top of the barrel as it will "raise" the front sight. Crude, but effective. Broug...

To build up the front sight just superglue a small piece of brass shim stock to the face and file to neaten. Paint black. This is also an opportunity to widen your sight. I personally would work with the rear sight. I could probably do the whole thing in 2 minutes, but I have the files. I doubt that...

Since you seem to be having trouble with your sights, be bold! Take a mill file and start hacking away at the top of your rear sight (about 1/16" to start). I have found itis really hard to cut the notch in the sight square with little Swiss files so I take a small chain saw file (they have no ...

TOZNERD:

Perhaps you have a line on TOZ parts and repairs?

RE: Shooting AP in your house.

As in the military, "Don't ask, don't tell."

No one will know or care about your perverted pastimes. Of course this advice precludes shooting a .45 through your walls.

Man with a plan!

I'm not quite sure what you're asking, but here's some answers anyway. Pellet weights run from 7 grains up to about 8.4 grains. I like lighter ones in the lower powered guns, but it really doesn't seem to make a difference except that it might cut a slightly cleaner hole in the target. I asked Don N...

I had forgotten that. No, there is no dry fire capability. Yes, you hold your thumb over the muzzle. Shooting it a few times w/o pellets doesn't seem to hurt anything. If you buy a used one you can be sure it's happened a few times. You could dry fire the Model 90 endlessly just pulling the trigger ...

Let's see.....$1200 vs. $300. I wonder which is the better quality... Having owned two FWB 65s and a FWB 90 and wanted a 80, I may be a little prejudiced. I'm old enough to remember when the FWBs were "the" only gun on the line. Can't beat 'em...still competitive today. I can't believe som...

j-team,
You're right. I think it was physicist Richard Feynman who came up with that. What does he know, he was a drummer and a safecracker!

Hey, just don't put your IZH in the freezer before shooting.
