Re: Anschutz 2002 Superair problem

I don't know why you wouldn't be able to dry-fire it. It's possible they mean you physically can't just cock the firing pin and release it with the trigger, you have to go though the whole cocking sequence and let a blast of air though the barrel minus the pellet. I found this section in the PDF own...

Re: Anschutz 2002 Superair problem

It's possible the firing pin/striker is gummed up from old oil -or- your valve is getting sticky and is on its way out. Pray to your deity of choice that it's not the latter because replacement valves are about as plentiful as unicorn farts. I'd take the action out of the stock and start looking aro...

Re: Anschutz 2002 Superair problem

I sold mine off just a few months ago so I'm going off memory... Something is making the striker bind up. When you try to re-cock it, it's getting moved enough to let the striker fly forward to hit the valve. Any chance you tightened the action screws, took the action out of the stock, or anything e...

Re: Optics height

As far as I know they are 11mm dovetails so should be universal. If in doubt, contact Pete at D3 Precision as he comes from a 3P background and should have the answer for you.

Re: What to do with old precision air/CO2 rifles

Some classics like FWB 300's and Anschutz 380's still have quite a following. Your best bet is to dig into the generic (non-Olympic) air gun forums like AirgunNation.com, GatewayToAirguns.org, etc. It might take a bit of work but you might be surprised at what is still valuable in someone's eyes. It...

FS: JSB Match/SCHaK pellets

For your consideration... 8 tins of JSB SCHaK pellets, blue sealing tape (8.26 grain?) 1 tin each JSB Match Diablo in light (7.72), medium (8.02) and heavy (8.26) I bought the SCHaK pellets off someone else that had them for a quite a while, so the labels are a bit scuffed from being in the sleeve, ...

Re: Rifle the limiting factor?

Put it on the bench with a solid front rest and a good bag in back on a no-wind day. If your groups are better than your prone groups then it's you and not the rifle. Another thing to check is to make sure you're shooting the best brand/lot of ammo that your rifle likes. If possible, send your rifle...

Re: How to repair number holder clips

Find a boot/shoe repair place near you. They have the tools and knowledge to stitch heavy leather.

I needed a large patch stitched on the back of my Silhouette vest (Cordura-lined top grain leather) and the small boot repair shop charged me less than ten bucks to glue and sew it on.

Re: 100 yard Air Rifle Standing

Not many folks want to stand up and shoot. I compete in Metallic Silhouette and we shoot air rifles at up to 45 yards, smallbore rifles at 100 meters, and high power rifles out to 500 meters... all standing/off-hand. More powerful air rifles are becoming fairly popular, so I've been waiting for some...

Re: The State of Smallbore Rifle Competition in America

Steve, We put out half-scale animals along with the 1/5 scale for anyone new or just getting started. It gives them a chance to get used to the line calls, timing, moving positions, etc. while still hitting enough targets for it to be fun. If they choose to shoot at the small targets that’s ok too, ...

Re: The State of Smallbore Rifle Competition in America

Re: Suggestions for Airline Rifle Cases

I bought a Pelican 1750 for my smallbore silhouette rifle and it's been great. I've traveled across the country (plus down to Mexico) half a dozen times so far and not a single worry. Quadruple lock positions means no one is getting in there without tearing the entire case apart. Highly recommended!

Re: Ballistic curtain for .22 lr?

I can't think of any curtain-like material that would stop a 22LR that wouldn't be prohibitively expensive. Just think of how expensive and heavy a blanket-sized bullet-proof vest would be.

I'd be happy to learn of a product out there that fits this criteria, but I'm not going to hold my breath.
