Re: Walther LP500; any good?

here is an incident with a LP500 that broke after 15 sessions:

seems like the LP400 had a bad reputation for cylinder problems in germany and LP500 follows in it;s steps for now

Re: SSP air pistols

Well if you're forbidden to modify an air pistol in any way, then it would seem an obvious choice; buy the new Baikal. A 20 year old SSP is very, very likely to need new seals at a minimum, and may need some polishing of sealing surfaces depending on how it was maintained. If such repairs/maintenan...

Re: SSP air pistols

that's very nice but that level of modification is out of the question for me (not only i lack the skill and tools, but modifying a gun in any way is illegal here). what i;m trying to determine is if i should risk buying a 20 year old FWB 100 in an unknown state from some guy in germany on eGun.de (...

Re: SSP air pistols

I would MUCH rather have an old FWB103 than a 46M. Even if it didn't work, it could be fixed with a few O-rings and you'd be shooting top-of-the-line. I'm currently using an old Walther LPM1 and am delighted with it. I like it better than the FWB100 I used to own. A Pardini K58 would probably be ch...

electronic target

the electric target is composed of a white plate with a round hole in the middle where a black paper scrolls down for each shot. (never seen one up close) my question is.. what happens when a shooter shoots a 5 or a 4? does the machine register the shot? is the white plate (dunno what is made of) sc...

Re: I'm sorry your new air pistol is a piece of crap

For my sake, I tried the Morini 162, I liked it , but are used to pistols with backsight being in the rear . But it is still used by the best in the world. i know it;s offtopic.. but the issue was raised in this thread morini_long_rearsight.jpg i saw this picture of a morini with an extended rear s...

Re: air pistol components

I'll save Rover the effort. 1. Absorber - nothing of value 2. Compensator - nothing of value 3. Stabilizer - (You guessed it) nothing of value not very helpful... i know these have to do with recoil reduction, but i was under the impression they are different names of the same "system" bu...

air pistol components

hi
can you clarify for me some of the components of an air pistol (stuff that appears in brochures). what it is and what it does:
1) absorber
2) compensator
3) stabilizer (gas ports)

thank you

the 6 boxes on the target

tinta2.jpg
what purpose serve those 6 boxes on the top right corner of a target? 5 of the same size and the last one a bit bigger

thank you

Re: SSP air pistols

sorry to resurrect this...

it;s been 8 years and the only SSP being sold/produced is still only the IZH 46M.

what would be better to buy now: a brand new IZH or a 10-15 years old FWB 103?

Re: Anschutz LP50 opinion

If you're looking for cheap....forget it. Not only is the gun expensive, you have to invest in SCUBA gear (forget pumps). Either keep your present clod-buster or upgrade to a better SSP, which will give you equal scores to a PCP. what better SSP than IZH 46M are the being produced/sold today? (i kn...
