162 problem

Firstly change the batteries. At times when the battery power gets low, but still lights up the red & green indicator lights, there may not be enough energy to get a good consistant trigger release - this has happened to me several times and the battery change fixes it. Secondly remove the grip ...

I am very keen to do one of these trips again, and for any one contemplating going.........do it. Not only does one get to some shooting facto...

FWB C25

I believe you have a Feinwerkbau C25. An image and some information may be found in the 10P files through our host Pilkguns main site (under coaching & information). I would suggest that providing the pistol works, and the cylinder seals are OK, then there is no reason that you could attain scor...

In the 1 minute load time ensure that your stance and position in relation to the target allows you to lift in a straight line centrally to the target (aiming area is your choice). Practice or test the lift in this time, doing the lift in the time you will use for live fire. Once happy with the stan...

A friend has just received his (put 100 rounds thru so far). Appears well finished and smooth trigger in the all steel version, although I did detect what I thought was a bit of creep in taking up the pressure after cocking it - want to fire it before making more judgements. However my first impress...

I placed them out for centre-fire on Sunday and as R/O watched what people weredoing in 'Preparation time'. On...

hammerli 162

I paid $1500 Australian for one in very good condition 2 years ago, although the grip was heavily modified. It shoots very well. I have put a new K&N shell grip and a Hammerli compensator on it. Beware of the solenoid (brass tip) that moves up to activate the firing pin release - it should not b...
