I cleaned them with rubbing alcohol. I would like to put a light protective and lubricating coating on them, but I'm not sure what to use.

Vargas Iris

The leaves on my Vargas Iris got stuck together, so I had to disassemble it to clean them. I'm now a little stumped on how to reassemble the iris. Any tips or suggestions?

Avanti 747 problem

I'm having a problem with my son's Avanti 747. When we open the breech and try to cock it, the cylinder won't take in any air. In fact, the suction in the cylinder will pull the cocking lever back about half way. Any suggestions as to how we might fix this problem?

Here's the response I received from EAA on the dry hammer release: "Sir I spoke to the gunsmith and he said that this is something that we do not have but he can try to order for you, however, it may take 60-90 days to receive part." I'll order one and post a description of what I receive ...

Dry Fire IZH-46M

I apologize up front if this question has been asked and answered before, but is it possible to dry fire an IZH-46M? If so, how is it done?

The Baikal website says: "Dry hammer release is available for training."

EAA has no idea what that means and neither do I.
