Over filling cylinder

So when I fill my cylinder to 200bar and come back the next day I'm down 20-25bar. I know the physics. Would it hurt to go over that much to get a full fill or am I being nit picky. Reason I ask is when I'm still in the green on the low side saying I have enough air my pellets start cutting ugly holes

Re: Athalonz shoes

What surface do you shoot on? I shoot barefoot on carpet and am wondering if I give up anything shooting on carpet. It's the only place I can shoot.

Need some grip puty and stuff

I need to get some grip puty here in the US. Could someone post some names? I am also looking for full circle leans diopters that stick on your glasses. I've tried the stick on iris and just can't get comfortable with it. I've seen full circle diopters but can't remember from where. Lastly where can...

Broken free pistol grip fixed

So maybe some of y'all remember me quizzing here how to fixed a broken grip on my FP60. Well of course screwex screwed me, but I got it done. Problem is the factory case is a poor transport/shipping case. So I said that ain't happening again. I made my own case out of some 50yr old left over walnut ...

Re: Broken free pistol grip

Dang I like that one. I was thinking about layering some fiberglass cloth or carbon fiber on it after I get it done. Ought to be bullet proof after that. Can't help but think it is a common problem seeing thats a fragile area of the grip. thanks for all the answers. Will post back after I hear from ...

Broken free pistol grip

So I got in a nice used Hammerli FP60 and the top right hand grip wing was broke in shipping. Going to file Fedex claim on it am wondering how to fix this if I get screwed. I've been a fairly decent wood worker for 40+yrs and this is a really clean pretty break. Couldn't ask for a better break. Am w...

Shipping guns

So I tried to ship a rifle stock only on UPS and they would not accept it. I then typed in 'wood stock' and it went thru. So I'm thinking how do you ship firearms/airarms now? They are legal to ship to another FFL but air guns have no restraints. Have you guys run into problems and how did you solve...

Center fire free pistols

Did they ever make/use center fire free pistols? I think that'd really be trick in a .32 or .38. Always wanted a FP but I'm getting bummed out on .22lr. Too many unexplained shots out of group. (Eley match eps & sk jag). My air guns so far out class them. Still would like to have a outdoor FP in...

Re: Rink or Nill grips

So I am wondering about taking the drimmel tool to it and get plenty on clearance. Mixing up some bondo, apply it to the grips and put nitrile gloves on and grip it. Is this how other people do it? And if you wanted some nice looking grips you could send that off and have it duplicated? Thanks

Rink or Nill grips

Am wondering if there is a need for aftermarket grips on these high end air pistols? I figured they already make them for the factory as oem. Whats the difference that justifies another $200-$300?

thanks

Walther CPM-1 cylinders

So I have a cherry CPM-1 CO2 that I love. Don't shoot it much but still its a fine pistol. One now both cylinders lose CO2 in 2 days time. How or where do I go to get a repair kit for these. It's a shame to let it die. thanks

High Pressure welding bottles

The guys at work know I shoot compressed air guns and ask why I don't used 4500-6000psi nitrogen. You can buy/rent a bottle from the welding shops and regulated it down to what you need. It looks attractive. My scuba shop can't or won't go over 3000psi. It eliminates the hassle of the scuba tank. An...

Camera spotter to phone app

SO I use a 50mm Kowa spotting scope to shoot indoors (10m)which is ok but would rather look at a screen or my phone. Is there any camera set up you guys are using for this? How can I find out about this or get one of my own going?

thanks

2013 rear stock adapter

Our club has started shooting a type of 50yd 22lr benchrest competitions. I'd like an adapter that attached to the bottom rear of the stock so it would ride the sand bags like a BR gun. Any ideas or suggestions out there?

thanks
