Re: How are you filling your cylinders?

Up to you. You will have to be VERY careful so you do not overfill the cylinder on your air pistol. The upside is you will be able to have dozens of refills where you can get it to 200bar/3,000 psi. On an aluminum tank they can only hold 3,000 psi so every time you fill a cyclinder you will get less...

Re: Review of Walther LP500 Expert

It took about 20 minutes. The letters were easy to pop off. What took the time was removing glue. I used Goo Gone to soak the glue for four minutes and rubbed hard with one of those disposable rags you can buy at Menards. Afterwards I wiped down with a water-soaked rag to get rid of any remaining Go...

Now I have extra chrome letters. I can picture the genius marketing person at Walther who came up with the huge chrome lettering beating their head onto their desk when they see this:-) Maybe this starts a trend:-)

Paid $1,850 for the LP500 Expert. There are several models. The amazing part was I received in UNDER one week!

I cannot say enough good things about Joe.

Re: Review of Walther LP500 Expert

Is the chrome Walther & LP500 made of plastic and are they stuck on? I wonder if they can be removed without damage to barrel sleeve? Also, what size grip did you order? My AP20 Pro has a medium Walther grip and fits me perfect. My Morini, Steyer & Pardini are large and fit a bit snug excep...

Re: Review of Walther LP500 Expert

What's the trigger like when dry firing? Is it exactly like live firing or it offers less resistance? The trigger feels identical when dry firing. Resistance is identical. Mine has only the mechanical trigger as the electronic trigger was not yet available. That is another big advantage that I did ...

Review of Walther LP500 Expert

I own a Steyr Evo10e and a Morini CM200 so this is what I am comparing the Walther LP500 Expert against. This is my opinion and no one is paying me a dime for this. Your mileage may very. After well over 5,000 pellets and a ton of dry firing I am more in love with this pistol now compared to when I ...

Yes. That is the advantage of electronic triggers...you do not have to cock them.

Re: Anyone have experience with the Benjamin High Pressure Air Compressor PCP Charging System

I have the Venturi. About a year old. Fill about a tank a month. It has been ok except it blows the safety disk about every three months. While compressor claims it can go to 4500 psi I only fill to 3000 psi...yet it blows the safety disks. Replacements are outrageously priced at close to $4 each. C...

Page 35 shows how you can add weights to the higher-end models that have barrel shroud.
