Need advice shipping AP Overseas/to FPO.

I have a deal worked out with someone from Dubia wanting my old FWB AP shipped to a US FPO. Beyond getting payment in full prior to ANY movement, I'm not sure of the details. i.e. on regs of that country and or how to aproach this type of shipment. Anybody have any experience / knowledge of shipping...

Help with install of Nygord turbo comp on older FWB.

I have a FWB c-2 that I'd like to (finally) install a turbo comp that I bought off of Scott a while back. It looks like I just need to knock out the fat pin below the barrel to loosen the whole/existing front sight base but I'm not sure. Figured I'd ask before jumping in. Does anybody know if the pi...

C-5 -Trigger not resetting consistantly. Ideas?

Hi, I just obtained a LNIB FWB C-5 Co2 pistol at a nice price. I suspect the gun has been in storage most of it's life and fired VERY little. However, on test operation , the trigger doesn't reset itself every time. ( Maybe every other time.) I'm wondering if this is a sign of it just sitting for a ...

Forget semi autos unless you and mom are willing to drill with your particular choice regularly ( untill it's operation becomes second nature.). Go with the simplicity and reliability of a revolver. No mags,releases, safeties , slides or jams to worry about. Just pull the trigger and it goes bang. E...

Just to add to what Tom said, the AguillaSE is well worth a try for the average user. There may be better ammo out there but this stuff would be a bargan at twice it's $10 /brick price. My Pardini needed a good cleaning lube and a couple of hundred breakin rounds before I switched from the Blue /std...

Hi, no experience with that particular pistol but I have experience with other match grade air pistols. It's my observation a gun that is unimpresive 4.48 might group tightly with a 4.50 . Size does matter! :-) how much may depend on your particular gun. Now that you have a nice gun, try a selection...

You don't mention what ammo you are using. My Sp had similar issues right out of the box with anything less than hotter target ammo. Subsonics gave it fits. I tore it apart and cleaned it good then polished the bolt with 600 grt in key moving /interface areas. No problems since.

Grip advice sought

Hi, I'm currently shooting a Styer LP1 with Morini grips ( thanks Scott!.) for 10M airpistol and a Pardini SP with Rink grips for bullseye. While I find the Rinks an improvement over the factory Pardini grips, I can't get that "locked in" feel that the CM's provide on the airpistol. ( They...
