Re: Am I too old?

Of course you're too old, you doddering wretch. Look how proudly Biden the Ancient serves our country. But then he's special!

Obnoxious abuse aside, you're OK. Just go for it.

Re: IZH 46M

Go to the BUY, SELL,TRADE. Put in a WTB ad.

You may want to give your boyfriend your "Clodbuster" and pick yourself up something a little nicer (Pardini K58, FWB100, Walther LPM1).

Re: WTB: Shooting glasses for air pistol

If you have vision problems see an eye doctor. If not, go to the Dollar Store and buy two or three pairs of glasses that seem about right. Put matte Scotch tape on the inside of the non-viewing eye lens. Take it from there.

Re: Scuba tank setup for air pistol cylinder refills

It's not too late to cancel your order and find a nice single stroke pneumatic, thus saving all this stress, aggravation, and expense.

Re: Scuba tank setup for air pistol cylinder refills

If all this troubles you, you might want to consider having a large nitrogen tank (or two) delivered. When it gets low, just pick up the phone and they'll swap it out on a full one.

Re: Steyr Evo velocity drop

You can get a good deal on a spare regulator AND a new cylinder & spare fill adapter by purchasing the Steyr CO2 conversion kit. https://www.euroshooting.eu/en/index.php?detail=4002090550 I like the way you think!!! You might be able to get it even cheaper by telling them to keep the fill adapt...

Re: Steyr Evo velocity drop

Go cheap first: new hammer spring. Use some nail polish to ensure the tension screw isn't backing out.

Re: Naked TOZ (Oh Dear!)

There's a whole bunch of stuff on here about reworking a TOZ. Do a search.

I threw away the butt ugly wood fore-arm, sawed off a piece of .223 brass and used that instead.

UGLY? Yes, but I think anyone shooting a TOZ doesn't give a damn about esthetics anyway.

Re: Adjusting rear sight as novice

Since you suck, you'll have no trouble getting thirty or so shots on a single target. Find the rough center of that mess and adjust your sight to center the group at the rate of about four clicks per scoring ring. Do this repeatedly throughout your shooting career. As you improve, you can put new ta...

Re: Сylinder gauge changing

Broken gauge? My experience has been that the gauges are not "wonderful."
Unless the cylinder is leaking at the gauge (not uncommon), don't even bother with it.
Use it as is.

Also, unless you are attending big matches, no one cares about your cylinder dates.

Why not tell us where you're from. You'll get more useful information and perhaps get a response in your language.

I assume you're talking about iron sights here, because the difference between those and "Red Dots" is huge.
