Gehmann #579 CLS Vari-Focal Astigmatic Iris System

Is anyone using and/or familiar with this add-on sight correction system for a Gehmann rear iris? How is it working out for you? Impressions? Where is it available in the US?

Thank you

Re: Stuck pellets in 8001

Back in my divorcee apartment-rat days, I used to do some stop action photography. This was with a S&W model 76 ? C02 gun. I used a borrowed Speedgraphic press camera with Polaroid adapter. A small Honeywell strobe was triggered by the two wires at the muzzle. Anyhow, I once accidentally loaded...

Re: Some Help understanding Trigger Adjustment

No, the 1/4-1/2 turn isn't the adjustment range. The manual is telling you to reduce sear engagement (your 2nd stage travel) so much it can't hold the pressure. You then increase engagement just enough that the trigger holds, but is still super crisp. 1/4-1/2 turn is the safety margin for crispness...

Re: Some Help understanding Trigger Adjustment

Albert, thank you for your post and time. As you seem to be someone that is familiar with the LG300 specifically, and should you return to this post, perhaps you could further help me. I am happy with the first and second stage trigger pull weights, as I am with the first stage travel. What I do wan...

Re: Some Help understanding Trigger Adjustment

Thank you! Your comments are appreciated. 1) The trigger shoe can be adjusted with the grip/butt, or independently. It's there to allow for finger length, so the right point of the finger contacts the shoe: typically this is the pad Just in from the tip. 2) Trigger pull, yes this normally the releas...

Re: Some Help understanding Trigger Adjustment

Your input is much appreciated; Thank you! Although I don't own that rifle, all your thoughts are correct. This applies to nearly all triggers - with some variation. The "trigger power" must be the spring tension that keeps the sear engaged. Goofy term they use and confusing. So basically ...

Some Help understanding Trigger Adjustment

I’ve recently purchased a second-hand Walther LG300 Alutec and would like to make adjustments to the first and second stage. The manual describes five separate adjustments to the trigger, most of which I believe I understand but would like to confirm here if anyone has a moment to comment. 1) The fi...

Re: The Late Great British Pound

That said I would suggest that any Brits participating in this forum, whether you are a business owner or have favorite suppliers you can suggest, do so by supplying contact information and at the same time serving as a reference. That way we (those buying with the $US) get a great value and at the...

The Late Great British Pound

To the extent everyone is aware or not aware of it, the British Pound has fallen to levels against the American Dollar that it hasn't seen for almost 40 years. Just prior to Brexit it was at $1.50 per pound and of today it is just under $1.24. Although between transferring funds, duties and shipping...

Question about fill adaptor

Hi, I recently came across this carbon fiber fill tank, which is from a local fire department sale. It's in great shape and was just hydro'ed the middle of last year. The valve that is currently on it (I believe a CGA 356 valve) is for use by a fire department for filling. My question: does anyone k...

Re: Basic question from an AP neophyte . . .

Yes, the fittings for Steyr and Morini are different, but both will fit the same yoke (at your dive shop). You'll probably want a manometer, since when you're down to about 1800 psi in your SCUBA tank you'll want to refill it. That way you'll get enough shots to easily finish a match. If you compet...

Re: Basic question from an AP neophyte . . .

My adapter screws into the yoke valve on the tank There is no other part. You then screw your pistol's air cylinders to the adapter. I don't know about the Morini cylinders. I have a Steyr. They may or may not be compatible. It sounds like you bought a tank set-up for air guns. I have a tank set-up...

Half way down this page.

Morini and Steyr use different adaptors as, I believe, do most of the major manufacturers. I think though that all of the will fit in the DIN adaptor.
Got it; looks like exactly what I need. Thank you.

I am brand new to air pistol, in fact so new that I haven't yet received the Morini 162EI I recently purchased from Pilkington Competition. My questions are as follows (and know doubt the first of many more to follow): The pistol is supplied with a "charging adaptor" for filling the air cy...
