Re: What Spotting Scope stand do you use for Pistol?

I picked up a used Freeland stand with a Swiss military spotting scope while I was in Europe. I used to shoot air rifle, so I was comfortable with the style of the stand.

Cabinet to conceal targets?

I was using a stand-alone cabinet for my targets. I stored my pistols, lamp, targets, etc in the cabinet. When I opened the cabinet, there are two metal traps set at the appropriate height, ready to go. My wife and I bought a new house. The old cabinet was kind of cheap and doesn't go well in the ne...

Re: LP2 action adjustment screws?

Thank you, gentlemen. I knew someone would have the information. I find it odd that the LP@ uses different screws, but it happens.

My girlfriend was pretty impressed by how helpful people can be on this forum. I told her it is common among gun people.

Thanks again!

LP2 action adjustment screws?

The LP10 has screws in the action that allow you to adjust the relationship with the grip in terms of cant, and point of aim. My girlfriend's LP2 has threaded holes in the same 6 places, but no screws. The screws from my LP@ don't fit. Anyone know the specs and/or a source for the LP2 screws? Many t...

Re: 3D-Printed Precision Target Pistol Grips

Andrew worked with me on a custom grip. Although my Rink fit very well, he was able to adjust a couple of aspects of it to my preference. Most importantly, he made it shorter from the bottom so that the pistol will now fit in the box. I wasn't using that part, but it was exceeding the rules.

Re: Where can I buy o-rings for a Steyr?

There is a Canadian fellow on ebay that has rebuild kits. He may have just the cylinder ring as well.

Re: Air Pistol Weight

Wow! That P11 is light. My LP2 Compact is 807g with cylinder. I presume the measurement of the P11 is also with cylinder. The LP2 Compact is 650 without.

Re: Air Pistol Weight

LP2 Compact is probably the lightest you will find. You will not be able to out-shoot it, either.

Re: Air gun postals

Someone just started a league on FB. The moderator will post various match formats and you submit a picture of target(s) by the stated deadline. Great idea in my book.

Search for 10M Pistol Competition League or https://www.facebook.com/#!/10metercomp

Re: SSP bliss

Glad you are happy with her. I like the ergonomics of Walthers. That's why I picked her up. I just couldn't give her the attention she needed. I hope she brings you many hours of enjoyment. In my research of the LPM1, I found very little. I did, however, find that they served as the model of the pla...

Re: Pistol mods

Tom, I've never warmed it up, but that could certainly help. I just get under an edge and pop it off. It comes off clean in one piece with no residue left behind. You can re-heat it and do it all over again until it's the way you want. Mark, good point. I envisioned it being pressed in far enough to...

Re: Pistol mods

I mixed in the sand and the coloring at the same time. Next time, I'm going to sprinkle the sand on top. I think that will give me more of the texture I was hoping for. I was toying with the idea of getting my hand wet, placing it in the sand, then gripping.

Re: Pistol mods

It did well. It gave a nice, uniform texture. It wasn't as dramatic as I had hoped / expected because pressing my hand into it pushed the sand down some, but it was definitely an improvement.

Extra weights for LP-@ or LP10 w/ Ansch bar

I don't recall how I found these on Amazon, but they are shaft collars. I ordered a couple in 12mm ID. I was too lazy to go out to the garage and use my calipers to determine the diameter of the Anschutz weight bar, but it turns out I was right. They fit the bar just like the factory weight. They ar...

targetshooting.ca post matches cancelled?

I was posting in those pretty regularly. I shot my best scores in January. It's now the middle of February and the January results haven't been posted. Did anyone get a message that they were being discontinued?

Just thought someone on here might know.

Thanks.

Re: Hydrographics on cylinder

After the graphic is applied, you spray it with clear. Lasts like paint because it is covered in paint.

Re: Weight compared LPM, FWB100, IZH46M, LP-@, LP2, LP10, FW

I'm picking them up in Germany. I'll be releasing some on here when I figure out what I want to do. This one taught me a couple of things. 1. The size of the grip makes little difference to weight. This one is a large grip. The other one is a small. 2. I should be using a large grip. That's why I've...
