Impressive lineup! How does that kk300 shoot? Have heard good things about them. How does the trigger on the 10x compare to the other two?

I picked an old 300 up about two years ago that had the original white seals. After about 25 shots, it blew out the seal on the end of the piston. I ordered the new blue seals from our host and found the dis assembly instructions either on his site or elsewhere. New seals installed with no problems ...

Are you talking about the spanner wrenches that would be used to tighten the front and rear apertures into the sight housings? Those are the only tools I can think of and you'll need to either provide pictures of what you are working with, or model numbers.

I don't recall if the rear sight on the Kimber accepts the typical European irises. Before you get too busy shopping you might want to see if you can borrow an iris or aperature off an Anschutz or similar and make sure it will screw into your rear sight. If it does you are in business as Gehmann an...

Gerald,
Do you have a pic or schematic of the trigger extension, or could you explain what you did. Looks like it might be a straight rod, but I'm curious what kind of bearing it rides in, if any to reduce drag.

I have a FWB300 that I am using for winter indoor practice. After replacing the seals, it seems to shoot very well with the various non-match pellets I had laying around as well as some orange box Vogel. I'd like to get a couple different brands and see if one works significantly better. I see that ...

Jim,
That's great news! Surprised that wasn't front page on the Journal-Sentinel.
I might put a bug in John K's ear about doing that out at Boone. Hell, maybe I'll even volunteer to run the match.

Took my bolt apart, that was pretty easy. As I thought, the front end of the pin comes nowhere near the shoulder in the bolt. The leg of the FP bottoms out on the cocking piece or the slot at the back of the bolt. The only way I could explain that break is a stress riser where that pin necks down an...

Thanks guys for the input. I have order the rifle without any sights at this point. I will most likely go with the Centra or smaller Anschutz (6805) the 7002 seemed too bulky to me. Which ever rear sight I go with, I'll be using a 22mm up front. From what I read in the earlier posts, many of you ha...

Sorry, I couldn't see the pic from work this morning. The way the pin is contoured where it broke, I would be surprised if that was stopping on a feature in the bolt, but I'll try to find out this weekend. If that tip breaks off I take it that the pin becomes non functional somehow? Probably going t...

Paul, Where is the pin breaking? Can you post a photo? I just got a 1607 and have been looking into the dry firing thing. I haven't taken the bolt apart yet, so I am guessing on some of this and welcome correction if I'm way off base. As I understand it, the normal firing pin will not come into cont...

Jim, "If it were me" and I had $500 to spend on sights it would go for a Warner rear (by itself it eats the $500) or Phoenix rear with Riles or Centra 22mm front. I think the ladder 22mm front might be nice for the mini Palma because you won't have to raise the rear as much, and I like the...

That is not wood grain you see, it is a laminated stock. Essentially thick plywood made of alternating colors for visual effect. Laminates make a great stable stock but tend to be heavier than a stick of walnut.

Its brand new never fired a round which i hope will change soon. I have two Centra iris to put in it as well.

What brand/model?

I hope to have my new to me 1607 here soon.

Jim, Mac Tilton at MTGuns may have a used one or something very similar. At least he did when I inquired a couple months ago. He seems to always have a good selection of small bore stuff. Another possible source is Neal Stepp at ISS, he was real nice to deal with. You'll probably have to call most o...

Mark,
Thank you for the leads. I had searched ebay but missed the Nikkonos one. Depending on the shipping, they may be a little cheaper. I found out yesterday though that Pilkingtons will have them in stock in two weeks so I am staying with my committment to order from them.

I recently picked up a FWB 300 at a show. The exterior is in rough shape, but I got a decent deal on it or so I thought. It shot great for about thirty shots and then it dropped one 2" low and the next one didn't come out. It seems that the 38 year old piston buffer has fallen apart. Our host l...
