Hi Philip

Hope you now have more enjoyment and no more pains with your new aquisition. Lovely oak wood work and great pictures.

Hi Fred

You're absolutely right and I should know better than attempt to confuse poor old Bob (hope this isn't taken as patronising). It is just my wicked sense of humour that often gets the better of me ;-)

Bet I won't get a mention in his will now ;-)

DOH!!!! Oh really, I know the Russians love to use left hand threads---Thanks for the info---shows at 76 you are not too old to learn---Thanks Fred, you are now listed as a beneficiary in my will. I repeat---DOH!!! Hi Bob Actually just to be pedantic those threads are genuine drilled and tapped rig...

Hi again

The rear notches are as near a damn it: 2.5, 3.0, 3.5 & 4.0mm wide

The front post are 3.5, 4.0 & 4.5mm wide

Hi

If you had your pistol from new then it would have come with two rear sight back plates each with two different sized notches plus three front sight posts again of varying widths. This gives you 12 possible arrangements to play around with.

Sorry but I may have misled the readers that this was under ISSF rules. The incident I referred to above occurred at an ex WWII RAF military firearm range until of late recently approved by the UK Home Office. Having a high brick walled backstop and in filled with correctly raked sand and well-demar...

Hi The above topic and comments are very interesting and food for thought. I think you have to be open-minded not be put off by experimenting and revisiting old ground whether a veteran or a newbie. Through empiricism establish which suits you within the rules of that particular discipline. Simply p...

Hi The trigger pull weight adjuster screw is killing my middle finger, as it is proud of the finger rest slot. Having noted that there is at least one other user on here with the same problem, philipnow, I was wondering how many others suffer from this very annoying problem. I have taped over the sc...

Welcome to TT and the pleasures of self-enlightenment re the Izzy. It is possible that after cocking if you inadvertently failed to lock down the bolt, then upon firing, the bolt seals would blow off. This happened to me only once and it won't happen again as it took nearly two hours to find those e...

Hi Julian

Thank you for putting in so much effort which must have taken up much of your time.

Did you award yourself any medals? ;-)

Nice photography and well laid out results - much appreciated.

Cheers TF

On a less serious and more enjoyable note I'll drink to that - Horlicks or Ovaltine ... hic ;<)

May I humbly apologise if this thread is deemed technically inappropriate according to the Target Talk rules and philosophy for posting matter that should be concerned pertinent to Olympic shooting disciplines. IZH 46M is featured frequently and has a great following of new comers and seasoned veter...

A friend has just alerted me to http://www.network54.com/Forum/79537/message/1170215470/ultracarbines+by+DaveG Amazing what a bit of wood, sandpaper and elbow grease can end up as, if one is a tad unhappy with the original Izzy grip. Do you think one could casually get away with this in a 10M AP60 m...

Hi Philip

Have answered your PM today using 2000 words where 20 would do :-) HTH

Cheers Torn Fibre

I would agree that you should not tamper with any of the trigger settings until you are completely familiar with each aspect of the mechanics and how they interrelate. The factory setting is generally suitable for most users. I purchased my Izzy and it misfired several times during the first few day...

Hi Philip and welcome to TT. Thanks for sharing your results with TT and what good results so soon in your shooting career. I too started this discipline a few months ago, with the same pistol and in that time like you have gleaned much from the great bunch of subscribers here, without whom I wouldn...

Hi Rob

They are better than expected. As for longevity I reckon if I don't over do it and take it real easy, say 3 targets per week at 10 shots each should last about 20 years and 30,000 pellets ;-) he he.

Thanks and although not an official myself this is another jewel of a site for pistol aficionados. Great work down under.

Hi David L Thanks for the answer to my puzzle as it never occurred to me it is for 5 shot scores – it seems so obvious now. May I also take this opportunity by thanking you for the Cam177 contact Jim Mallows where at an Open Meeting I had the pleasure of talking to him and his good wife. I also had ...

Hi All It's that time when my poor old brain needs a caffein boost, which I also know isn't good for a steady hold. Meanwhile can anyone please let me how the column in the top right of this type of target is used? I presume it is for scoring purposes, maybe or something else? Cheers Torn Fibre - no...
