While not a pistol shooter, after being there last week, I can't help but wonder what the international palma match rehearsal in 2014 will be like if conditions are like the pistol shooters had this year.

I am not in favor of keeping a loaded, unlocked firearm within easy reach at all times. My guns are cased, unloaded and relatively inaccessible to me. I was also taught not to point a gun at anyone that I did not want to kill and have preached that to both my children (now adults). Buy a slide actio...

As long as the stocks are for the same caliber AND length of action (there are two different lengths), they will work. Boyd's and Richard's make stocks, sometimes seconds are available. Go here http://www.rimfirecentral.com/forums/fo ... y.php?f=24 for more info.

Thanks, I got it working after much magnification and cleaning. Then I cut a Crosman caplet in two, looked then ran to my gas supplier for a CO2 tank.
Thanks again.

Lasertag on the (ahem) clothing. Smaller targets than anything I can hit.

For me the single stage was much easier to start on than trying to keep track of what was happening on a two-stage trigger. There is a lot going on with a beginner and many things to (try to) keep track of.

Clear inserts

Ray McDougall has clear sight inserts at the best price I could find. He ships fast too (from Canada). The size is .665 for my Tau 200, I had to slightly polish the inside of the globe to obtain a push fit into the sight. http://www.members.shaw.ca/mcdougall.imports/Page%201%20Eagle-Eye%20&%20Sl...

Tau 7 seal availability?

Is there a US source for the valve packing for a Tau Match 7. My recent purchase shot well on bulk fill, but started to leak past the valve when I loaded a crosman 12 gm cylinder. Cleaning, degreasing, tapping, several old xxxwords and some new ones later, it still leaks. TopGun recommends I become ...

Question about position of compensator on AP barrel

On my newly purchased Tau 7 Match the compensator cone is mounted within 1/64" of the end (crown) of the barrel (in other words virtually flush). Stapled into the back cover of the manual is an unlabeled diagram of the compensator position re the end of the barrel. This shows the cone being 11 ...

The gas chamber screws onto an endcap that attaches to the action. There is an o-ring that seals the chamber to this endcap (not the piercing cap...the other end0. I am sure it is a common metric o-ring, I am just not sure of the size.

Tau 200 JR o-ring leak

My used Tau 200 just arrived and after the initial charge I checked for possible leaks and found one where the CO2 chamber meets the endcap at the valve block. I need a source for the parts for this gun or just the size of this o-ring. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Mike Powers
