Jeez, Earl's Repair Service website is so user unfriendly. Used to be so easy to navigate. Shame.

Try cocking each one by hand pulling the trigger… OSP will be much lighter than a GSP unit. Mine is set at 260gm vs 1050gm. Be careful to stop the hammer falling unimpeded.

Standard Pistol is logistically more feasible and in the US, Collegiate already shoots it as well as it would be similar to bullseye .22 course of fire and 4H. I seem to remember reading somewhere that the ISSF Standard Pistol discipline was designed and introduced to suit North American shooters. ...

I support the comment on Thomas Rink’s grips but even they vary alot in how “fat” they are. I’ve bought several and have now settled on the “d” versions (thick). However, although one can be near perfect, another can seem too thin, my grip for a FWB P44 being an example - I still had to putty it up ...

To the OP, the Swedish, seven times Olympian, Ragnar Skanaker used to shoot (well) in a variety of pistol disciplines. Though AP (1980 WC) and FP (50m) (GM 1972 Olympics, Swedish record of 583 = WR for Jin Jong-Oh) were/are his principle disciplines, he also set a record in Standard Pistol (1978 WC ...

If you just start shooting, you will likely develop all sorts of bad habits that will be hard to break. Try to find a local club where they hold regular matches, and see if anyone can provide even a little coaching to get you started right. Gwhite's point is very important - bad habits are very har...

It’s probably trying to teach grandma to suck eggs but after a number of years of reloading with my previously loved RL550B and the extra-small charge bar and getting significant (in my view) variations in powder load, I've found that load consistency depends on allowing the powder to drop! That is ...

...a round hole should throw a more consistent charge than a slot. Agree wholeheartedly. I am currently using up what little Bullseye powder I have left and, using the SRF powder bar I am getting remarkably consistent loads of 1.58-1.60gn (using a GemPro 250 scale) even though the powder level is n...

The expander is critical, full length and correct diameter. James, Should the "correct diameter" be the size of the bullet or (say) one thou oversize to allow for brass springback? Also, your brass charge bars are interesting - wish I had the facilities to make such stuff. A while back I ...

Not outrageously priced (in Europe) given the prices of guns today.

TOZ 36s and 49s are often seen on ranges here in Australia and in for sale ads. A number of the 49s have been modified to take .32SWL wadcutter ammunition. For that mod, and to retain the gas seal, it is necessary to sleeve the cylinder chambers to take the 32s and to shorten the cylinder and move t...

I reckon it is…

Hi all, A colleague of mine is trying to find usable drawings of the frames and trigger mechanisms for the older mechanical and electronic versions of the MG2. He has obtained an older MG2E which he wants to convert to a mechanical trigger (he's very handy in the machine shop) and needs to see what ...

I agree with PirateJohn. I believe you are unwittingly looking through your front sight at the target and, as Rover would say, you are trying to ambush the 10 ring on your way past it. I have an AP target I shot with a beautiful ring of holes in the 9 ring! I still have that problem but am working t...

Hi kevinjab, and welcome. Kevin's post translated by Dr Google: It is my first post in this forum, as you will see I am from Argentina, I am excited by what you say, I am 63 years old and I shoot with a CO2 FW C20, a beautiful weapon that I bought used, I am going to take into account all your recom...

Problem was addressed, with one or two solutions, a while back:

I've been waiting on a trigger blade from Walther since January 2022 and am still waiting. Local entities are unable to do anything to hasten the delivery. I am now on my second local supplier: “6-8 weeks from order placement” back in mid-October last year…

My colleague has just pointed out that one has to supply one's own barrel for the Schumann/Evo-4 shroud and the one he tried had a standard (SP) barrel fitted. He'd be interested to hear of any experience using the same rig but with an RF barrel.

Bob

My colleague appears reluctant to post to the forum but has given me the following to pass on. "My colleague, who has used a version of the Schumann barrel, said it is very clever in how it truncates the recoil potentially leaving more time for seeing the sights. In Australia we first saw it ar...
