Upgraded trigger for the IZH-46M

Air Venturi has just announced their fully articulated trigger for the IZH-46M. The new assembly allows the finger rest to be adjusted laterally, in the same manner as used on the very high dollar competition air pistols (Pardini, Morini, Steyr). The lateral adjustment makes shooting more comfortabl...

Range in the house

I use my rec-room and and a hallway for 10-meters. The target box is filled with Duct-Seal providing no bounce and good lead collection. It sits on a book shelf and has a goose-neck lamp over it for lighting purposes. The advantages are: shooting anytime, heat in the winter, and AC in the summer. Ma...

Cost

Regarding shooting cost for Co2 users: I refill my 20# tank every two years. The cost was $16 last year when I had it filled. I typically shoot a couple or three tins a month and usually refill the gun's cylinder after about 130 shots. That works out to $8 a year. It doesn't get much cheaper than th...

For what use?

If you are looking for a starter target rifle - Pilkington has several Tau 200s just listed. I can tell you from personal experience, that the 200 is a great place to start. Real sights, real accuracy, real triggers - and all easy to operate on Co2. I wish I still had mine - but I sold it in an act ...

K60

For seals and such, the host - Pilkington - is excellent. Larry's Guns in ME is the Pardini USA distributor. I ordered parts from the factory and was pleased with the results. The K60 is a capable gun and properly taken care of, it will last a lifetime and more. I have owned several Pardini guns and...

Silicon grease

That is a very liquid silicon grease. I have several tubes that were sent to me from Pardini in Italy a few years ago. Great stuff - but use VERY sparingly. It will not hurt seals and is suitable for anything that moves.

It is my primary "go to" airgun lubricant.
