No. Pilk sold them to someone else (or more than one). I don't know who bought them and neither does Buck.
I have the feeling that they parted not too cordially, but I really don't know.

Thanks but it seems that Pilk only works on Styer air guns
At one time Pilk had taken in a large amount of FWB 65 and was refurbishing and selling them.

Buck told me Pilk had sold all his airgun parts (slipped my mind). Soooo, being the US Steyr distributor....

Re: H&N distributor in the US?

"Guess I could switch to RWS R10 but they are slightly lighter at 7gr vs H&N 7.56gr, I've no idea if it makes any noticeable difference." You DO know that H&N puts their most accurate pellets in the Rifle (heavy) tin, and leftovers in the Pistol tin. (According to THEM.) You really...

Re: Bullseye in Tucson, AZ

Rio Salado is no time saver for you and is not the "real deal" as PRGC (where I was on the Board of Directors).

I have forwarded this to a couple of guys I shot with from Tucson. Hopefully, they will respond to you.

Re: New Top Tier Air Pistol Recommendations

"I am looking at purchasing my first pistol for the 10 meter air pistol competitions." Looking for love in all the wrong places. You may THINK that all the new guns will offer you some advantage. It just ain't so. For the price of a new gun, you could buy several older models (FWB 65, CO2,...

Re: H&N distributor in the US?

I guess you may have to switch over to the devastating accuracy and low price of RWS Basic. Luckily, they're available in 500 tins from ISS in Texas.

IF you phone, you may be able to get the pellets of your hearts desire.

Re: Looking for my first Olympic airpistol

My take on this is: buy a good used SSP. Forget all the additional expense of SCUBA etc., the aggravation of outdated cylinders, annoying inspections.
Most repairs are an O-ring.

Sure, I have PCPs. That's why I'm telling you to buy a SSP. Can't find one? Boo hoo.

Re: WTB: short clamp on barrel weight for FWB 65

For a quick and dirty (don't we all love those), just wrap some solder around the barrel. Tape if necessary. You can get EXACTLY the weight you need.

Re: Air Pistol Training Camps

Years ago, I took one at the Olympic Training Center. Contact them.

It was particularly memorable because the guy in the next room snored so
loudly the wall rattled. I hope he got treatment.

Re: Waiting for special order

New toys are always fun! If the FWB 2 works for you, you might want to get yourself one. It will not handicap you in any way, and you'll have lots of dollar bill "stuffers" for the topless joint left over. Married? It will work on "herself" as well.

Re: Disassembling guide for Walther lpm-1

If it's any help...I had mine repaired (by Buck, I think) at Pilkington. It wasn't very expensive. I think that Buck has now opened his own shop but have no info on it. I'd like to know myself.
