If you haven't done so already you should set up a Midway Foundation account.

Re: Pelican Case Locks

I just got the Amazon cable locks and use them on an Eylar case (very similar to Pelican), they work great. Yes the TSA can open them, but the other option is the TSA will cut a non TSA lock or make you buy TSA locks at the airport. Never use TSA locks on gun cases. If TSA wants to open the case yo...

Re: Anschutz 9015 Refill Adapter Leaks?

There is a ball bearing under the pressure relief valve thumb screw. If the thumb screw was completely removed it is easy to loose the ball. I think it is 4mm

Re: If I read correctly H.R.1808 The Assault Weapons Ban, also makes many Standard/Sport Target Pistols Illegal

Most states have an Olympic exemption lists for pistols. It has just about everything, including those that are exempted anyway in the first place such as free pistols. (for example. I used to have a East German Buhag, still kicking myself for selling it) I am surprised that the electronic trigger ...

Re: What gun do you most regret parting with?

I sold my sons first 22 rifle, CZ452 Scout, to buy him an Anschutz. Regretted it so much that 2 years later I paid more than I sold it for to get it back. Luckily the person I sold it to was willing to trade it for a new version of the same rifle.

Re: Anschutz vs KK500

Walther dosen't do a very good job of selecting the right hardware in my opinion. All of the action screws are far too small making them very easy to overtorque and strip, or even break.

Re: Rifle rest for offhand stand

The reason they never caught on is they are not allowed in sanctioned matches. Bill Earnest was the one who was making the metal version.

Re: Video from Tokyo?

Download the NBC sports App on your device weather it is a smart tv, Roku, Apple TV, phone or tablet. Sign in with your TV provider and you can watch live or replays of the events. They are only showing the finals not the qualifications.
