I cut an 1/8th inch thick strip of rubber and wrapped it inside a jubilee clip - tightened it gently around the cylinder body - carefully tightened a vice on the upright cylinders nut - and used a wrench on the jubilee clip.

I've done several BUT use care - don't bully it.

I am prety sure I have seen them come up on e-gun occasionally. Probably a long shot but no harm in keeping a search going.

Didn't mean to muddy the discussion by mentioning rifle but maximising sight picture seems to be a major quest of my shooting life, in pistol and even more so in rifle.

Interesting subject. ShootingSight - I think I follow your advice - applicable to a normal barrel length pistol ?? But for a long barrel pistol or, in my case a prone rifle where the emphasis is on maximum clarity of foresight a) how does your advice work and b) how do you maximise rearsight/diaphra...

Just picked up on this thread and speaking from across the pond a couple of points surprise me. 1. I'd go along with PaulB - a lot of discussion about safe cylinders ( I use an FWB Model 2 so it is the lower pressure Co2) but I cannot recollect any specific instances of failure. Don't get me wrong, ...

Not sure what they are like to the US but I found them excellent for FWB spares to the UK.

Thanks for all the foregoing -

From my point of view, I do practice as directed but hope discussions like this thread will save a lot of unproductive practice.

Coming up into aim, down onto aim, attempted steady aim and reducing tremor are just several of the aspects of air pistol shooting bothering me at present. Viewing some championship videos indicate examples of each and my searching and reading has not been as helpful as I would wish. The OP's post g...

Speaking as a two month pistol tyro I think it is brilliant - particularly the 'aim' information - discusses a lot of the questions rattling around my head.

Thanks

I bought an 80 and a 90 about a year ago and they generally go for anything from Circa 150 euros to Circa 350 euros on e-gun. Lots on e-gun. A lot depends on condition and if they have fittings/case and stamped target card. Here in the UK you can very often pick up old pistols like these cheaply fro...

Do you mean 1407 -U9?

If yes I am fairly sure that it will - and with a bit of luck Tim , Brian , or others will confirm it.
