Re: Experience with Anschutz 9015?

Also, having owned 21 airguns, I can say without hesitation that the 5065 4K trigger of the 9015 ONE is the closest to perfection of all the ones I shot before. A marvel of engineering. Does anyone know what the relationship is between the Anschutz 5065 trigger and the G+E trigger? Looking at diagr...

Re: Walther KK500

What I wanted to ask is, what is Walther's thinking behind dropping the KK300 range (small bore) so that now you offer the KK500 variants and the KK300 Blacktec only? This seems to me to be a huge price gap as Walther has completely removed the mid-market rifle that I would call the KK300 Alutec. W...

Re: What to use to Build up a Synthetic Grip?

Well here's some ideas of how to check it. http://www.northwestpolymers.ca/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=18 Burning your grip may not sound enticing, but if you did it on the inside, or on an area you intend to fill it wouldn't be noticable. I'd take the grips off first and look for ...

Re: What to use to Build up a Synthetic Grip?

Bondo would probably work. Otherwise something like this maybe: http://www.jbweld.com/collections/epoxy-putty-sticks/products/plasticweld-epoxy-putty Check the local hardware store, they may have it or something like it. The JB weld stuff is supposed to have a 25 min open time, which should be enoug...

Re: TEC HRO "Rapid" sight elevation kit -- anyone seen this?

Well son of a gun! Looking at the photo you posted I see the dimples on the front sight. They may well be detents, if they are, then it might be a quick repeatable system. Buy one a try it out! That's the problem with all this new stuff, there's so many new products and only so many people willing t...

Re: TEC HRO "Rapid" sight elevation kit -- anyone seen this?

I don't understand, does this thing have detents that it clicks into, or does it just slide up and down. If it just slides up and down, then you'd be making educated guesses on the height adjustment, no? I think any of the riser block systems would be easier and more repeatable. Maybe a couple secon...

Re: Cut-out foam for rifle case?

I've never had an issue transporting my ammo in the same case as the firearm. I have cutout space for two bricks of Lapua (since that's what I normally shoot) in my foam. I've flown with loaded magazines more than once (to save space, mostly), and so long as a loaded magazine wasn't actually in the...

Re: Cut-out foam for rifle case?

http://i.imgur.com/O2IZKjm.jpg That looks very nicely done! However, it seems to me, that having to remove the buttplate, the buttplate carrier, the cheeckpiece, and the barrelled action (plus the sights, handstop, extension tube, etc), seems like a lot of work for transporting your rifle. All thou...

Re: Centra Duplex

Conradin, My understanding of the Duplex in terms of purpose and function, is that it's meant to help align your eye with the rear sight. By adding an extra ring at the "front" of the rear sight, when your eye is lined up correctly, the rings appear concentric, as in the Duplex ring will b...

Re: New Walther KK500???

It almost looks like the action is ambidextrious, just the bolt is left or right handed. I like the trigger on my KK300, it'll be interesting to see/feel this one. I'm curious about the price too, hopefully they didn't copy Bleiker and G+E in that respect too! I saw a post on Facebook a couple weeks...

Re: Matchguns MG2 setup

It is just that to deal with Match Guns as an importer since Neal needs to deal with Gehmann from Germany as MG has the wisdom to denote Gehmann as their exporter to the USA. Neal did not explain why, but he did express it was a headache to deal with Gehmann about MG. So what you're saying is: Custo...

Well a Glock is striker fired. Have a look. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-e_3Ihpq9T4 However, their trigger pulls don't exactly lend themselves to precision target shooting! They also have a super heavy recoil spring, and are chambered for large centerfire pistol calibers that are powerful enough ...

"the striker is held back by the sear and the striker spring is compressed by the shooters hand (and the finally by the camming action of the locking lugs) and held by the locking lugs. " Sorry, I meant to say the striker is cocked by the camming surface in the bolt, not the locking lugs. ...

Pretty sure it might have to do with cocking the striker spring. In a bolt action (or lever action, falling block etc), the striker is held back by the sear and the striker spring is compressed by the shooters hand (and the finally by the camming action of the locking lugs) and held by the locking l...

Anschutz 2002 CA Value

I'm looking at an Anschutz 2002 CA with aluminum stock for my first air rifle (I'm a "normal sized adult" - 5' 10" - 210lbs). It comes with the Anschutz 7002 sight set, some misc apetures, 2 cylinders with adapter, hand stop, bipod/stand. What's a fair price for a set up like this? Is...
