Prescription eyewear and shooting glasses
I have a question regarding shooting glasses for air pistol. I am really nearsighted (canot see without my glasses). What options would I have for visual aids, i.e. an iris affixed to the fron of my glasses vs prescription lenses in a pair of Vargas. Does anyone have any advice?

My concern was the instruction book for my LP@ said to use cleaning cords only (without a definition of what those were), whereas my old IZH came with a cleaning rod.

Air pistol cleaning
I have a question about cleaning air pistols, rifles, etc. Is it advisable to use a bore snake for periodic cleaning, or is there a fear that the bronze brush embedded in the first portion of the bore snake might damage the barrel?

Changing sights on an IZH MP532
This may seem like customizing a Yugo, but can aftermarket front and rear sights be fitted to an IZH 532.
