Re: Daisy 747 construction?
Ok!...thank you!....I am just sure my brown handled 717 was brass inside the Piston tube, but that was more than 25 years ago, I could be forgetful on my blood pressure meds. I guess it does not matter, brass would be corrosion resistant but a little more easy to damage so I am not sure what materia...

This makes perfect sense with the solid wood grips and steel rear sight however said reviewer thought that after Daisy dropped the 777 they also changed the Piston tube from brass to steel on the remaini...

Re: Hammerli 280 Ultimate buyers Guide?
So, I have a question, it seems the early models have a safety in the grip....if that is not present, did the safety move to the trigger guard? Or other location, or get removed all together?.... It's not totally out of question for a Target pistol not to have a safety....

Hammerli 280 Ultimate buyers Guide?
Hello, I have admired the Hammerli 280 for years, I have recently seriously considering purchasing one.

Cost to ad recoil dampener system to Feinwerkbau 601?
Hello, I am searching for a RH Feinwerkbau 603 full size, lots of 600 to 601 have turned up at value price, which leads me to wonder the cost and difficulty to ad the system to an older model. I am a Tool and Die maker so self machining is readily available, but I would just like to get a feel for h...
