Update: I was able to get the 160 special trigger guard and weight set from Larry's Guns. They did not have the compensator. If anyone knows where one of those could be found, please let me know. Hi, can you advise the cost and part numbers please, as I would be very interested in buying those part...

BS - I bought my parts directly from Walther - a very helpful person named Bianca Strobach (b.strobach(at)carl-walther.de), they knew exactly what I was talking about, and delivered promptly. I just recently contacted Ms. Strobach at Walther looking for these parts. I was informed they they have lo...

For pellets, I use a cardboard box stuffed with old rags. It does a great job, is very quiet, and is almost free.

The real benefit of nitrogen is that its 100% dry. Water vapor in air causes its pressure to vary with temperature much more than dry air or nitrogen (because of the partial pressure of the water). In car tires this matters because car tires see wide temperature swings: they heat up a lot after you ...

Knobloch Side Blinders: How to attach to frames?

Hi all, I just received a set of Knobloch side blinders, and can't quite figure out how to attach them to the frames. I have an old pair of frames from when I was a junior rifle shooter in the early 90s. I recently got into pistol shooting (both Bullseye and International), and have bought some ISSF...

You'd almost certainly win at Olympic games with 60 10.0s. And you'd set a world record while doing it.

I don't know about others, but I clean all my guns every time I use them, to one level or another. With my S&W model 41, I do a basic field strip, clean all accessible surfaces of powder and lubricant residue with CLP or Hoppe's Elite cleaner on a rag or q-tip, and clean the bore with patches an...

Adjustable width rear iron sights?

Does anyone make adjustable notch width rear sights of the type used on European target pistols that fit US made pistols like the S&W 41? Pretty much every modern Euro target pistol has them, but I can't find any similar options that will fit my Model 41. I use a dot on a Clark BO barrel for Bul...

Dirty Don will do you right! He'll even sell you boolits. Now you can shoot the Bullseye match Sun. and, if you have a short barrel for your M41, the Standard Pistol (International) on Sat. And in fact he did. I left with 600 rounds of his ammo, plus a bunch of other stuff. Metalform SS magazines, ...

cgroppi; I noticed that you are in Tempe. Are you a member of the Phoenix Rod and Gun Club ? I will be shooting there this coming Sunday in a match. I sent in my Springfield that I won this last February at the Desert Midwinter match to Dave Salyer. Dave built my Beretta 92FS that is more accurate ...

Help choosing a bullseye 45

I'm a relatively new bullseye competitor. I am lucky enough to already own a S&W model 41 that my father gave me, and am now in the process of setting it up for bullseye. I do not have a .45, and am looking around for options. I do not want to spend money on something half baked, then have to en...

Used Hammerli 280 for bullseye

A local shop has a Hammerli 280 .22LR with the .32 S&W conversion kit for sale. They're asking $1975. I haven't seen it in person yet, but they say its in almost new condition. Comes with 4 magazines (2 for each caliber), all the paperwork, and the factory case. What are people's opinions on thi...
