Re: WTB: Hammerli 208/215 Magazine

I recently ordered and received two aluminum Hammerli 208s magazine bases with base plates from Red Feather. They were $35 each plus shipping. Today (November 29) I checked the RF website and did not find them listed. There was some delay in receiving my order that they explained was because the qua...

Re: For Sale-all of our daughter’s equipment & guns

Shooterer, if one lives in a state where they are not allowed to purchase a firearm without state approval then yes, there would be paperwork required before transfer to a buyer living in the state with that requirement. Do not confuse federal laws requiring FFLs to “log” in firearms and requiring ...

Re: Any fun gun in Prescott AZ area?

Prescott Action Shooters has many matches. See here: https://www.pashooters.net/ Most are action pistol oriented as the name implies, but they do conduct silhouette matches too. Ben Avery Shooting Center is a bit over one hour's drive south of Prescott and they do have an air pistol range but I have...

Re: Bevel vs flat base

I'm following. I've been loading Brazos 180gr flat-base coated bullets, but those are no longer available. Would be nice to find another supplier with an identical bullet of equal quality.

Re: Accurize vs MantisX vs Scatt vs Trace

I am primarily an NRA Precision Pistol shooter, but I also train with 10 meter AP in my garage to improve my slow fire skills. I recently bought a Mantis X10 Elite and I like it a lot. I believe it provides MUCH less statistical data than does the SCATT. However, it does provide several things I fin...

Re: Indoor range - what are you shooting at ?

The indoor range at which I train goes to 25 yards so I typically shoot at that distance. When load testing I typically use some NRA 10 meter air pistol targets because the black is very small. This target because I believe in the "aim small shoot small" principle. I generally focus on one...

New LP50 Grips

I've had a Steyr LP50 for some time now and I've been practicing sustained fire with it. It came with a large anatomical grip that was too big for me. My purchase also included a 1911 grip to emulate my other target pistols. However, the 1911 grip that came with the gun was significantly heavier tha...

Well, all the above links (those with "studio" in the text string) take one to a screen intended to initiate a new channel.

After a brief search I found this video which I believe is the one being discussed:

Re: Advice on S&W model 41

We shoot monthly matches from March through November, weather permitting. I clean mine about twice a season. I remove the grips and remove the barrel assembly from the frame. I scrub the frame feed ramp, barrel feed ramp, and extractor with a nylon brush. I also run a .22 caliber brush through the b...

Re: The new Margolin thread

Re: Over filling cylinder

If one has a 300 BAR cylinder, shouldn't a regulator be used to ensure against overfilling? If so, where would one buy such a device?

I use it to clean airgun pellets before lubing them.
Clean pellets? Lube them? Please school me on this. I've never heard of anyone doing this. Why and how, please.
