Not the only place - we've been shooting 50m standard pistol here in Switzerland since we threw out the Romans... You mean Standard Crossbow, yes? Oh, and the Romans weren't exactly thrown out - Stilicho withdrew from the region under pressure from the barbarians crossing the Rhine. That marked the...

They make 2 claims for it on their website (aside from the dubious weight difference). One is shorter lock time and the the other is lower recoil with respect to the standard Morini CM162EI. Assuming that the recoil due to pellet acceleration is constant, then they are referring to recoil due to the...

Dave: There is quite a bit of difference - perhaps worthwhile if you shoot a lot even with higher initial capital costs. So how do you avoid over-filling your gun's cylinder, assuming that it is only rated for 200 bar (2900 psi)? Do you keep an eye on it and stop it manually before it red-lines, or ...

I did a (very) quick look-see on the web and it looks like you may be talking about a steel tank that holds 100-150 cu ft of air vs. an aluminum tank which holds about 80 cu ft. The steel tanks are a lot heavier which works for divers, since they don't go to positive buoyancy, but it's just more dea...

It is possible that in case of a roll trigger the action is isotonic (in an isotonic contraction, tension remains unchanged and the muscle's length changes, that is to say the muscle contracts and shortens, giving movement). A roll trigger at the end of its travel, keeps moving as as the shoot is r...

If you don't have the manual, you can download it here as a PDF: http://www.morini.ch/download.php If you look closely at the springs hooked to the blocks above the screws, you will notice that as the first stage is taken up, only the left spring stretches. Once the first stage is taken up, then the...

As long as the target is beautiful when you are done, that's all that counts.

Besides, most chicks aren't all that impressed with a slick new Morini anyway so save the bucks for a kickin' stereo.

28 Bucks?!!? Get the beer can .. The original came with a set of front and rear sights so you could mix and match to get the fit you want. Larry's offering does not specify a size, so you may want to ask. I remember reading a thread recently about using a rear sight blade assembly from another gun (...

Target scaling has come up before - Scatt software can do it. Have a look at this thread: viewtopic.php?t=28652&highlight=scatt+software

It wouldn't hurt to check out precisely what your local dive shop is offering. I bought an aluminum 80 cu ft tank at a local shop for $189 that came with the valve, 5 free refills and one free annual inspection. After that, refills are $8 and annual visual inspection is $15. The hydrostatic test is ...

I'm not going to take anything away from Munden - he is obviously an incredible shot.

But I didn't see a cloud of dust where the aspirin was. Maybe the shot just got close enough for the bullet's draft to blow it off the nail.

Hey, I'm just sayin' ...

The rifle pellets are probably 8.2 grains or heavier. I don't know how that will affect accuracy in a single-stroke pistol. They usually are relatively low velocity to begin with. Is shipping from the US prohibitively expensive? I noticed that Pyramydair.com claims they will ship anywhere in the wor...

The density of titanium is about 60% that of stainless steel (approximately - different alloys vary). The force of the striker is in the spring (ignoring friction, of course). For a given force, a lighter striker will move faster and transmit the same total force on the valve release - Force = Mass ...

I know it would be more utilitarian to just machine the frame, I just can't do it. Well, then, I guess you've answered your own question. I've heard that if a person is ambiguous about a choice, he should flip a coin. If he is pleased with the flip, that is what he wants; if he is disappointed, the...

I have been trying to learn 10M AP and FP shooting. I just purchased a copy of the Advanced Pistol Marksmanship Manual published by the U.S. Army Marksmanship Training Unit. I have only read through the first part on stance and balance and so far and that has been a tremendous help: http://tinyurl.c...

Try this: http://targettalk.org//viewtopic.php?t=29767&highlight=izh There are a couple of links in the thread that may be helpful too. Is the gun new? If it's warranty work, let someone else worry about it.But it is really easy to work on. The only problem I had was when I put one of the pivot ...

It probably is not the compression seal if the gun fires properly sometimes and not at all others. There was a thread on this forum recently about a problem with the cocking linkage - one of the components interfered with taking a full stroke and sometimes the breech block would not pop up. I think ...

If the cumulative torque method does not work (and it often does, with the right screwdriver) you might try touching it with a soldering iron. When it cools, the expansion-contraction cycle might break it loose a bit.

Not to be cynical (at least not excessively so), the 10M AP sport attracts gear heads. There are people who think they can buy competitiveness and there are others who want the latest gadget without regard to whether it will genuinely improve their scores; there are probably a number of people whose...

Newbie question here: If the usual practice is to hack and fill the grips to get optimal fit, why spend the bucks (euros, pounds) to get a "stock custom" grip? I bought a TOZ 35M that was used but had unmodified grips which presented a generous quantity of lumber. I worked on it for hours ...
