Re: FWB P44 air Cylinders

For the love of god, remove the moly before it migrates into the gun. clean it really squeeky clean. What happened is you let the gun get too dry. There is a need to use a synthetic oil every so often on the threads on FWB air guns. Additionallly, when empty, take a drop of synthetic oil onto the cy...

Re: Pardini k12 cylinder repair

this works on FWB cylinders most of the time. On an empty cylinder, use a toothpick to exercise the valve at the end of the cylinder and liberally coat it with a synthetic oil. The idea being that you get some oil into the valve and inside the can itself. old compressed o rings will move around , sl...

Re: Air shutter Baikal IZH-46M never opens after initial pump

Pellgunoil is NOT a synthetic oil. Synthetic oils are needed for lubrication of Euroguns. Pellguniol is a petroleum based oil and is quite hard on the Orings in most target pistols.

Re: Lg 400 run out of rear sight adjustments

Lower the cheek piece and lower the shoulder pad. That moves the rifle up and places the sight lines in a better place. Its easy to adjust. https://imgs.search.brave.com/z0PLxbwfZ_nGfo4yE8Vv8PUtFP3GCLf7SdqwA_8QmRs/rs:fit:1024:510:1/g:ce/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWFn/ZXMuZ3VudHJhZGVy/LnVrL0d1bkltYWdl/cy8yMC8yMDA2...

Re: spare

My friend on the team just verified, there is no limit to how many spare rounds you can carry for single loading for damaged or dropped round. He said some carry 8, some 6, some 12. I agree with you...... I was saying what the allowable number of SHOTS per stage was. 5 + 3 is allowed then if you ha...

Re: Anschutz adjustable butt pad hook bolt thread

You know, that's just a socket head capscrew. Nothing terribly special. Go to a Grainger, Tacoma screw products or any of a number of other common industrial supply houses and take the hook assy to the counter. They have thingys to check threads and can set you up. My replacement bolts were 3 dollar...

Re: Cleaning air rifle

so the question might be: how do you clean the rest of an airgun? how and how often can/must you clean/lubricate the trigger parts? I have never cleaned or lubed the trigger group. I let the service guys do it. My 800X gets a touch of grease sparingly applied to the tank threads, 1 drop of oil into...

Re: Cleaning air rifle

The way I clean my FWB800x is to send it in for service every 4 or 5 years. otherwise, I wipe down the outside and put it away. Once every so often, I wipe off the threads on the cylinder and use a tiny dot of grease on it and put a drop of oil in the gun before I screw the tank back on....

Re: Hamerlli ap40

Gwhite. With your leaking cylinders depressurised. Manipulate the sealing valve and get a few drops of synthetic oil into the can. roll it around, I find that the seals move around and reseal more often than not. The dry environment inside the cylinders doesn't let orings and seals find their neutra...

Re: spare

You are not reading the rule correctly. In a short sprint the shots per station to clear 5 targets are 5 from the magazine and up to 3 spares single loaded. There are no rounds saved from 1 leg to the next. The shots are not cumulative. Each stage resets the allocation to 5 and 3.
