Thanks for the link. My pictures have expired, but they can still be found in the Yahoo free pistol group. You do have to join to see pictures. At 5.900 I will assume the price is in Kroner, not Euros. That would be just over $1,100 (if that's Euros ($8,200+) my wife says I have to sell mine because...

Guys and Gals: ...To perform at a world-class level, what is the relative importance of genetically-granted "natural ability" vs. the hard-earned dedication and good coaching?... Steve Swartz Others have commented on the importance of attitude, dedication, practice, etc. as having overrid...

The table holder of that Furter was no longer displaying it as of several years ago. The pistol that I was describing was the other one and turned out to be a Schultz & Larsen: see- http://targettalk.org/viewtopic.php?p=53940&highlight=#53940 As I recall he wanted about $1k for the Furter. W...

A quantum leap in technique? Does moving from the nine ring to the ten ring take any time at all? Can the finals be scored with this methodology?

Rick, Thanks again for the help with my S&L from two years ago. http://www.targettalk.org/viewtopic.php?t=12278&highlight=schultz+larsen Any chance I can beg, borrow, or steal a copy of the documents that came with yours. Did you ever shoot it? George, Did you get anything additional with yo...

I'm bad! and confused. Sorry, Larry has it correct, $12 and I am not volunteering to pick up the difference; however, for any of you out-of-state people who show up at the range on Monday night at 7:00pm (every week of the year except when Christmas and New Years fall on a Monday), I will spring for...

A notice to those of you in the Pacific Northwest who may wonder what Larry and Nikki (How's that? no H!) are talking about for this Sunday: We free pistoleros of the Seattle area have started our annual series of PTOs. The first Sunday of each month, 9:00-noon, until December, we will be holding a ...

Last December (2005) I acquired a free pistol at the Washington Arms Collectors gun show in Puyallup, Washington USA (a town somewhat south of Seattle, just east of Tacoma, and 45 minutes south of Bothell). The pistol is not marked with a manufacturer’s name, or any marks, except for the number “125...

Bubba, Ed has it right on. WCW in Bothell has a very active program. Too bad you just missed our annual air pistol league (but join us for the last two weeks, anyway: Thursdays at 7:00). Free pistol evey Monday at 7:00 (and some of us shoot it with sports pistols, the object is to improve skills, no...

No, but I'll be there for the next Kenmore Monday Night, and you may try a Schultz & Larsen. I have no idea where you would find one for sale, but there might be one somewhere in the world.

Zilla, As an old 4p rifle shooter (but 40 years ago) the most difficult thing I had to learn was to ignore the target and focus on the front sight. I still don't know how it is I see the target, but I have come to appreciate that when I locate the bull, then put all my attention on the front sight a...

Fellow Free Pistoleros of the Phoenix/Tucson Area: My bride and I will be flying in to Phoenix the night of February 28 for a week of Arizona weather with my brother/sister-in-law. At some point we will also make a day trip to Tucson. I will be bringing, at least, The Dane (that unmarked Schultz &am...

Your gun was made by Schultz & Larsen in 1959-60. I had a mint example awhile back. Mine came with the factory literature and apparently only 200 were manufactured on a trial basis. This explains the absense of markings. According to the literature that came with mine, it was dropped before ful...

http://www.hunt101.com/img/353393.JPG And some close-ups of the bolt. The barrel is about 11 inch (~28 cm). Stylistically it has been suggested to me (on another forum) that it shares some of the looks of the MC2-3 that Pilkington has listed at: http://www.pilkguns.com/tenp/spmc2-3.htm However, I s...

http://www.hunt101.com/img/353394.JPG Here are some other views. Thanks for the help so far. I took it to the range today and shot a match. No improvement in score, but I had more in the black (and a few way out in the astroid belt that I'll claim are the result of a very light trigger I am not yet...

I finally gave in to temptation. Does anybody recognize this free pistol? No name at all that I can find; just the numbers "125" in three places.



I can supply more pictures of any detail that would help.
Thanks,

The Rhöner is (was) an entry level free pistol. It was manufactured by Rhöner Sportwaffenfabrik GmbH, located in Oberelsback-Weisbach, Germany. The company was started in 1959 by Walter Maier and as of the early 2000s was still a family business (maybe it still is, but websites can go for years with...

I have the 22a with what they call their "Target" grips. It is very accurate for a $200 sports pistol, even accurate enough for middle level competition; however, the trigger needs to be smacked with a sledge hammer (so you will have a good excuse to replace it with one that is worthy of t...

Hey Frenchy with the Germanic sounding last name: So you’re thinking about coming to America. About 150 years ago a Frenchman by the name of Martin Blum (yes, another Germanic last name) did just that. He landed in New Orleans just about the time of our Civil War, and being in the South and newly ar...

Strazzman, is that the official position from the man Down Under?

Just couldn't resist,
