Filtered for particulates and water, ok. But you still have oxigen, who is in the bad habit of oxidating things.

If someone wants to go against chemistry, ok, but air is more damaging, at the same conditions (pressure ant temperature) then Nitrogen. Remenber that oxidation is what screws up most of things. And compressed air is 80% nitro plus some 16% oxi plus whatever is mixed in the atmosphere, including pol...

An ex team-mate of mine was shooting one reasonably successfully in the early 1990s. Even he admitted that there were more forgiving guns, and things have moved on since then. If you shoot a good shot it will reward you with a good score. If you shoot a bad shot it will punish you more than other, ...

Since it's easy to get Hydrogen tanks at 350 bar (actually available up to 700 bar), I've been using that. then I tape a light under the front diffuser and POP! It makes a great noise every time I shoot! Sounds like a real gun going off. Much more manly. Did you know you can get 8000 shots out of a...

Had one in the 70's. It was worked on by Terry Anderson, cutting the trigger guard and straitening and elongating the trigger blade, plus polishing sear. Never seen such a wonderfull trigger. Pistol was great for 8 and 6 seconds shooting, with centered tens. But 4 secs was a impossibility. Even with...

From what we have seen from here, you'll spend more buying anything in Europa. The sales tax can reach 30%. My brother flies executive jets to Europe and US, and prices, even for European products, are usually lower in the US. A good example are pellets: with all the freight costs, it is cheaper to ...

The Brazilian range by a...Brazilian
The range was turnned over to the shooting NGB days before the Pan American games. Seems it is very similar to the range in Sidney, Australia. Plenty of problems, since they forgot to talk to someone who shot something other then dice. Just a sample: in the 50m range, at the firing line floor, every...

If you are a member of a shooting club, convince them to rent / buy a 50 liters nitrogen bottle at 200 bar. We did that in our club and the results are fine. The only problem we found was that a lot of gas was wasted when the pistol cylinder was removed, the adaptor was long and fat. After filling t...

Be warned: grip sizes vary with the wind. I have a 5 and a M that feel the same, had two larges (one in a FWB P44, one in the LP@). The FWB was a lot bigger than the LP's, the biggest grip I've ever seen, both new and made by Morini. The FWB was delivered wrong by the importer (Beeman's?), who had n...

Last week someone had a chronographer set up in my club, so I shot some Gamo Match: variations from 380 to 405 fps. Then some RWS R10. Higher speed, all the ten shots had the same speed (maybe 390 some, don't remember exactly.) will set up a vise and the chronograph (if the owner agrees, that is) an...

pellet supplier
Sometime last year I bought pellets from a store in Ohio, but since Mr. Gates products are not infallible, had to re-install and lost a bunch of contacts and favorites. Anybody knows the name of the place? This shop was fast and fair priced, but any other that is near to Teterboro, NJ, would solve m...

Solved the problem in our club: rented a bottle of 50 liters of Nitrogen at 200 bar. Cheapest gas (is the first that comes out of the air, since is ~80% of it), cheaper that breathable air, 99.9999% pure and moisture very near absolute zero. Besides, does not reacts with any substance. I'm no chemis...

David, Understand that they botched it, offering the soft free. They should have a limited access version, and upon payment they would supply a password to liberate full access. I really think that the development of the soft cost a lot more than the development and fabrication costs of the harware....
