Fred, don't worry about any extra work. You're trying to help, and that's what counts with me. You're problably right, it has to be very clean. I put more moly for the simple reason that it was already messed with a few drops. I think that the real problem is the sludge inside the solenoyd, at the t...

Some info on the solenoid of the 152

After cleanning the solenoid plunger with benzin (a very volatile petrol destilate) the thing went back to work, but only after cocking the pistol. The vibration of the movement sent the plunger down to its idle position. Added some Molykote, the thing stuck. With utmost care, removed the plunger he...

The red led: tells you to wait while the battery charges the circuit. The green shows that the trigger movement was sensed. If all is well, a shot went...somewhere. If the red led does not lights, but the pistol works, forget it. Buy a second battery (a very long red light means weak battery) and ha...

If you need to order/pay a new grip, you should consider to buy a Rink grip instead of the original FWB. Rink grips are much better and have much more parameters that allow you to tune the grip to your needs for the same price as a FWB grip. Air guns of AZ is exchanging the grip for me. On your sug...

This afternoon (in Brasil) I called Beeman's. After being put on hold, called again and said that was calling from Brazil, that I had records showing more than half hour connections and that the vendor of my pistol also spent half hour on hold. What should I do? Call Herr Knepl in Germany? Got thru ...

The reason Beeman put their name on it is that particular FWB now has a "lifetime warranty" instead of the 12 months factory. Beeman offers a 5 year warranty at the cost of $85. Name stampping is just plain "ITS ME!". Try to call them! Even if you tell them you're calling from B...

[quote="fred" US law requires that the importer of a firearm must stamp the gun with the importer's identification. This is done by the importer, not at the factory of origin. AFAIK there is no requirement that an airgun must be similarly stamped. In any case, most importers do their stamp...

Hope no news from Sweden reaches Brasilia. Those genius would ban lead immediatelly. The only thing you can be shure of in Brazil is that the politicos can make it worst. But it is an issue. This is something that bothers me for some time (not the use of lead, but the possibility of a ban), since th...

Got some shivers on my spine reading about your problem. I just received a P44 here in Brazil, after a long fight with bureaucracy, and it came, also, with the wrong grip, in my case a Large. The seller was very helpful, will send me a medium, charge me and when the large grip reaches him back, will...

Fred, thanks for the ideas. Will get back to the solenoid and see if I can clean it better. As for the trigger blade, I think I'll trow Mr. C. Morini out of business: with the wire attachment piece of a light switch, an allen key (that came with the Hammerli 232 bought in 1975. Pistol sold, wrench s...

Brazilian experience with on-line matches

This last weekend we had what we call "on-line national matches", for air pistol and rifles, plus open sight spring rifles, in an effort to bring more people into the game. Brazil is, in practice, bigger than the US, since it costs a lot more to travel around. It is expensive by air and by...

Hammerli 152 circuit

Hi!

Found an 152 in very good conditions in the metal parts, but with some reluctance to fire. Seems that the electronics are the problem.

Any chance of finding the diagram of that circuit?

Thanks

Would it fit in a Hammerli 150

Suppose I can lay my hands on a 150. If I snip off, say, 4cm from the barrel, would this compensator fit in the remaining "stub"?
