Re: Hammerli AP 20 issues
NM, sorry for the false alarm, everything is working as it should now. I realized the cocking lever screw was loose, I tightened it and everything works as it should now. As a positive side effect, now I know how to fully disassemble AP20 and put it back together. Not sure how I'm going to live with...

Hammerli AP 20 issues
I have an issue with one of our club's Hammerli AP 20, when I open the cocking lever and cock the pistol, the lever just falls down under its own weight. The gun is still cocked and goes off, but it makes it a bit too difficult to load a pellet while still maintaining the grip. The other AP20 we hav...

Re: No more PTO events at USAS?
For the record, we are not strictly NRA, we're also CMP :) But since there are very few athletes participating in the International competitions these days, it's hard to justify all the expenses and additional paperwork required to run USAS PTO.

Re: BANJO MUSIC ?!?!?
Hm, was it Colo Springs or Perry WAG location? In Colorado Springs they had some very calming medieval lute music, but on day 1 and 2 of the matches nothing but classic rock. I was happy for the juniors, it's their only opportunity to listen to good music instead of their usual gangsta rap, but my s...

Re: Goal setting and expectations for beginner
Welcome to our beautiful sport! You will find it very addicting, I promise :) Here are some of my thoughts regarding your questions, but take it with a grain of salt, at the end of the day you just do what works for you. - Expectations - NONE whatsoever! Every time I think to myself before the match...

Re: Free Pistol Shorter Front Sight
Here's a little trick that works for me. Instead of applying the putty directly to the grip, I first cover the area that I'm going to build up with a thin masking tape, and then apply the putty to the tape. It holds pretty well, doesn't move at all, but is easy to remove and leave the grip in its pr...

Re: LP500 trigger assembly - how to adjust overtravel?
I just helped an athlete with this at Camp Perry. Once you take the grip off and watch the pieces move, it is quite clear which screw to turn (#2, CW). Note the terminology in the manual may be different than what you are used to. Bob, actually it was me, I appreciate your help but unfortunately I'...

LP500 trigger assembly - how to adjust overtravel?
I got a brand new LP500 Expert with mechanical trigger and one issue that I immediately noticed is that it has a significant over travel out of the box. On my LP400 there's a screw that controls it and I found the same screw on LP500, but - it looks like when the shot is released, the whole trigger ...

Re: electronic target vs paper target
We paid about $930 USD per unit but the shipping to US was obviously very expensive. We ended up with about $6k total for 5 targets, not including computers, stands and power supply units.

Re: electronic target vs paper target
What we got is the InBand Air: https://inband.fi/?page_id=116 They work great most of the time, there are still some quirks and wrinkles, mostly due to the fact that the software could use some improvements, plus it runs on cheap Windows tables - and we all know how "great" Windows is. But...

Re: Pardini SP: Trigger has stopped running smoothly
Actually Pardini DOES recommend applying a very small amount of moly grease to the hammer/sear surfaces. See here: https://www.pardiniguns.com/store/produ ... cts_id=929

First of all, I apologize if this is off topic or inappropriate here. I promise I will do it only this one time.

Re: Hammerli 280- Making a new Barrel Shroud
Folks, I know Derrick in person and vouch for him, he's a very talented machinist and smith, and I saw that shroud he made for one of our club members, it looks awesome and much much better than the factory plastic fantastic. One added benefit is that the barrel now can be removed if needed, and als...

Re: Morini 162EI battery cover question
So it seems, but with the factory grip I can tighten it all the way and it doesn't cause any problems. Does Rink grip come with another set of hardware? How do other people solve this problem (or am I the only one who has it?)

Re: Morini 162EI battery cover question
Thanks, folks this is resolved, I just printed a new cover on my 3d printer :) Magic! Now I have another problem, the grip is attached by two screws, one in the middle and one at the top. So the top one doesn't go all the way in, if I start tightening it, at some point the gun locks up the pellet ga...

Morini 162EI battery cover question
I was recently going through the piles of junk in my garage and found almost perfect Rink grip for Morini 162. I installed it on my gun and it fits like a glove, but the battery compartment cover won't fit. The opening on the Rink grip is rectangular with screw hole in the middle of the short edge, ...

Airgun bench plans/drawings?
We decided to give our humble indoor range at the PRGC some overhaul and I'm looking to replace those old ugly looking benches with something more suitable. Now I'm just looking for ideas and inspirations, and possibly some plans, drawings, instructions, wondering if you guys can share some :)

Cylinders are about to expire
The expiration date on my Morini cylinders is 2021 (wow, time flies). I know the expired cylinders will make my gun illegal for official competitions, but I'm trying to understand if this is just a precaution or is there really a safety issues there? In other words, should I toss out my cylinders an...

Re: Walther LP400 air cylinder problem
Yes, I do use the lube on all my cylinders and adapters. The O ring looks normal. I guess I'll just need to get another cylinder, this one expires in January 2021 anyway...
