May I ask why do you shoot the little animals ?

Do you eat them after you kill them?

:(

I have 2 questions: Is Walther currently looking into the reproduction, or reordering and restocking of Hammerli parts for the older Swiss made Guns ? Or is Walther going to sell the last of its Swiss Hammerli parts and then be essentially done with the Swiss parts ( meaning that once the existing S...

When a manufacturer is sold and purchased the obligations that might have been in place for warranty and parts and services of products is a topic of debate that is decided individually be the contact of the purchase and transfer of ownership of the company in question. Current and recent products w...

I may be old fashioned , and old, but I especially like owning, shooting and collecting the older vintage Swiss firearms. The latest and greatest gun(s) are interesting but they are not the main or only thing for me. And I think that there are quite a lot of people just like me, that feel the same w...

We have a few here in Minnesota, Minneapolis Rifle Club, mostly 300 meter 3P rifles. Do you happen to know what caliber they might be? Did you have the pleasure of shooting any of them? If you did what did you think of the gun(s) regarding their built quality, fit and finish and accuracy compared t...

Many people expected Umarex to make a business with Hammerli spare parts, for those thousands of pistols still in use around the planet, but apparently they were not even smart enough for that. One could get rich doing that. It probably was considered but was not done because of the difficulty invo...

Not Walther. Umarex, which owns both firms. And apparently bought Hammerli mostly as a trade name. BINGO.......you said it......Hammerli was purchased for a few reasons ( IMHO), to buy and use the (trade) name , and perhaps to remove them from the competition ( this might not have been an initial d...

I think that Hammerli has become Walther's "budget" line of firearms. They stopped production of the AP40 as it competes with the LP300 / LP400. They then introduce a cheaper entry level model. The new Hammerli AP20 is almost 1/2 the price of the LP400 in Australia. The AP20 can be upgrad...

I talked with Tanner Switzerland and they will make me a original hardwood stock for my Tanner action/ barrel and trigger group. All I need do is send them the guns SS # and then order the stock design that I want. So my options have expanded to include the possibility of getting an original Tanner ...

I collect only Swiss guns and happen to have owned a number of Andre Tanner rifles in various calibers. Currently I own 5 Andre Tanner rifles ( 3 are 50 meter match 22 LR single shot rifles, one is a 300 meter match single shot centerfire, and one is a 300 meter standard centerfire rifle). Tanner ri...

I have owned a number of 22 LR FP(s). I current own a Hammerli FP 10 which I absolutely love. I understand that the Hammerli FP 10 was designed by the founder/ owner of the Match Guns Italy. I love the uniqueness of his new guns. Id buy one in a minute except for all of the problems I keep hearing a...

I have a Swiss made Andrea Tanner rifle less the stock ( complete receiver, barrel, trigger assembly ). Im thinking of possibly making a free rifle project out of this. I could of course get a genuine Tanner stock for the project directly from Tanner in Switzerland , and this is what I had originall...

I only own and shoot/collect Swiss made firearms ( after many years of having guns from all over the world ). I too feel that it is a sad thing that the Swiss gun makers have all but faded away. My suggestion is simple; but a Swiss made gun anyway. There are alot of new old stock ( NOS) guns that co...

IMHO. No contest. Swiss SIG P210 I suggest the SIG P210-6/ P210-5 which are their Sport/target models. If you want more refinement find a HF ( Heavy frame ) model, and you can also go with the extended barrel . The standard barrel is 120mm. The long barrels are in 150mm and 180mm lengths. The longer...

Im looking at getting a Swiss made Hammerli air pistol and both the 480 and the 480K look interesting.

Can anyone give me some feedback comparing these 2 different pistols to give me information to help me decide which of the 2 to get??

thanks

I have owned a number of Swiss made Hammerli Free Pistols, and well as other guns from Hammerli in Switzerland. My question is due to the German buy out of Hammerli, and the fact that this originally Swiss made firearm is now made by Walther in Germany, and is no longer a Swiss made piece. How does ...

I was lucky enough to find and buy a beautiful like new condition complete with original box, test target, tools, literature . This Hammerli FP 10/ 22 LR free pistol single shot pistol for 50 meter target is the newest addition to my collection of Swiss firearms. This pistol is a pristine example, t...

During the hold phase of shooting the associated muscles of the hand and arm ( actually the whole body ) go into a controlled co-contraction. The main muscles involved have to work together to establish the "hold", while other muscles go into stabilizing roles, and unneeded muscles should ...

Now when you are a proud owner of a FP10 it might be a good idea to see if you can remove the muzzle break assembly. It should have been greased with copper paste before mounting in order to facilitate future removing and cleaning. Use a tube and press the insert forward after the screw under the f...

A real sleeper of a rifle is the Andre Tanner 50 Meter 22 LR target rifle.

Swiss made in 3 models ; model 90, model 205, model 206. In single shot or with magazine/ repeater.

I have 2 of these gems and they are superb rifles.
