There were some business deal for other Baikal products. That is the timeframe that the pistol disappeared. Magazines were hard to get. Yes on the headspace and slamfires with greater use. They were, and are, a good pistol but I had heard manufacture was a 2 stage process. Baikal made them and Russi...

OK I'm back and dog is happy now. She wasn't going to take "wait" for an answer ! OP You didnt state the mode of failure; web yield or rim. Web yield is more serious and indicative of plastic pistol syndrome or seriously overstressed cases if from a 1911. I would chuck those, but thats you...

Ahhh, I didn't think to look here, I was on the BE List There is this instruction sheet that came with it It is copywrighted so please do not post it here; big boo boo ...and yes I did have metalography done. That case had a crack in the base To the original poster, you did not state if it was your ...

Ron, For what its worth, they could have accepted the European standard for low energy guns, the F pentagram on your frame, but that isn't where they wanted to go. The 500 fps rule was "ok" and they couldnt tell at the border and I tested mine to assure that but when they named makes and m...

I can get back but I still can't get out.

Thanks Marc,
Perhap I didnt find the right match. What is the date for Nationals?

I really do enjoy the matches and wish to get back into it

What about Benning and cylinders?

I don't have a hotel to mail to and I'm not sure I would get it if I did.

best regards

Thanks.

What I usually see is people at the match posting what's going on as well as intermediate scores. Thats half the fun.

regards

Looks like no AP for them anymore or did I miss the listing? REAL PIA with regards to cylinders and air travel now. Half thinking of driving but thats no fun either. I almost went to the 3x air in December. How many ended up discarding their cylinder rather than miss their flight? All of a sudden I ...

I am surprised to see nothing recent

thanks

Two of my originals:

Good enough trumps perfect

The whole process is ruined by the gun going off.

another two (from Erich B)

You can't shoot your way out of trouble

No stinkin' thinkin'

and my favorite:
Yield and overcome

best regards

This is much like ASME pressure vessel code; define and assess the problem (if any) and respond with scientifically based plans. If the vessel will burst, it is more likely during fill, not use. There is a corrosion issue especially if you are a hand pumper; moisture condenses in the compressed gas ...

Too much work and severe sinusitus from dirty airline travel have sidelined me this year. Hope to make Benning again and then the 3x

good luck to all

yes ! Especially one shot finals targets

Patch the back with tape or slide another target, or strip of target in behind it and shooth them again.

What do Edelmann's cost now 10 Cents each?

Measure some of your ammo and see if a particular brand (that leads a lot) is undersized. I did. Ask the big dogs what they do. I was at the Olympic Training Center and talked with Lones Wigger. He cleans frequently (like every time), and uses a brush. I now clean every 90 rds to avoid the exponenti...

target paper is an issue but you also see this problem with low velocity. Re the IZH, there may not be much adjustment but I think the compression can be increased. I dont recall design velo but these days, if it is in the 360 fps range, its slow. For a lot of reasons, you need closer to 500; namely...

No comments on barrel diameter and twist variations ? Is it possible that they standardized finally ??? I have what I think is a 1 in 14.5 in late model no Expert Walther. Has a 0.314 in barrel but still hard to shoot well mostly from trigger quality. I cant determine if it is design or "useabi...

I was once there too but it isn't "discrimination". It's their games and their rules. We have talked about it endlessly. AP was my main strength but I couldn't get into the games. My understanding of the reason was NY limited the number of participants to fewer than the number of sports we...

Please do me an off topic favor and comment on approx cost of gas in the Canada. Considering a trip to Banff this summer.

I'll give you my paradigm: As a dedicated pistol shooter (BE & Intl) of 15 years, I never thought I'd end up here but I am at a point where I just don't care anymore. As a result, when I do shoot, I am shooting better than I ever have. My air scores are back in the 570's, Free in the 540's (but ...

"Guest", You may be concerned over a non issue on several levels. I suggest you contact head of USAS (Bob Mitchell for one) re the funding issue and get his opinion. Maybe even get it in writing to confirm terms and conditions. You have your needs and they have theirs. Can there be a meeti...
