Re: KK300 Trigger Adjustment

As an update, the behaviour I had three years back is returning i.e. basically a single stage trigger on some shots - time to screw 'E' back in a bit I suspect.

I'm guessing that it's wear as I think I put nail varnish on the screw last time to prevent any movement.

Re: Rear sight with corrective diopter?

After struggling with sight focus etc. for several years due to age related distance changes plus astigmatism not completely corrected by my daily disposable contact lens (axis angle apparently) and the shooting lens provided by my optician being suboptimal, I've completely replaced my rear iris etc...

Re: Why are new match air pistols so expensive?

My LP2 cost £750 back in about 2008. The price now in the UK is £1250 - that's an increase of about 100% more than the inflation hike over that period for basically the same pistol. I'll stick with my calculation of UK inflation and the additional cost of the pistol above that but acknowledge that ...

Re: How does velocity affects on shots count(Evo10)?

You'll get less with 170m/s.

Given that repeatable accuracy is the primary concern of a target shooter, the real question is what velocity should my pistol be firing at to maximise my score and that's been answered, which is unsurprisingly and coincidentally about the same as the factory settings.

Re: Eyeglasses and shooting

ISSF rules allow a corrective lens worn in glasses or attached to the rearsight. Does that apply to something like the Centra Hawk? I wear a corrective lens in a Champion frame for 10m AP but having a lens in the rear sight of my KK300 would be more convenient than I think for rifle. I'm currently ...

Re: KK300 Trigger Adjustment

Update.

I screwed in 'E' by half a turn i.e. clockwise and the problem seems to have been solved.

Many thanks.

I also tried the TEC-HRO and it now resides on my Walther KK300 rimfire!

KK300 Trigger Adjustment

Is there an article that explains what exactly adjusting the six screws on the trigger achieves in simple terms? I've spent a few days exploring/researching what might be causing the issue I describe below without success hence this post. I've got the user manual and have also seen the document on t...

Re: Mantisx Training Aid

Had mine for a few days now; also bought the adaptor for use on competition air pistols. Have to say it adds an interesting element to dry firing practice; picks up the trigger fine on the standard setting and the analysis is useful. Yet to use it on the range. Will also be using it on my KK300 rifl...

Re: Steyr Air Pistol Maintenance and Repair

As has been already stated above, in the UK we have an approachable and dedicated importer who'll sort out technical issues himself and provides a servicing facility.

He also has a stand at the major competitions to address any problems; he was present at Cardiff for the Welsh Open last weekend.

Re: Poll: How Often Do You Clean Your Barrel?

Never. Not even felt pellets. After 15 years since I bought it, I sent it off to Pilkguns for a complete overhaul. I don't know if they cleaned the barrel or not... To qualify my previous comment, the felts do come out stained and improve the more felts you fire through; as to whether that improves...
