Re: ISSF & Prone

If you are asking for 4 women in the final in order to be fair, there is no way to know until we really allow it to happen. This won't happen, for sure. It's not about a quota for female shooters 4:4 in the final, it's about a final with the top eight scorers of the qualification regardless their g...

Re: Walther KK500

@Modena, concerning leftie .22 rifles from Walther: (sorry, noone will find this within the KK500 thread in a few days, but anyway...) Although the KK300 Alutec (or Anatomic) aren't part of the official program any more, that doesn't mean that you cannot buy them: we still have a good supply of syst...

With a 130 year tradition, founded in 1886, it isn't so easy to run and hide - they find us everywhere. It's Carl Walther GmbH, by the way, not Walther Arms: That's our US-based daughter company in Fort Smith. "Their" competition guns you find at http://www.WaltherCompetition.com I take th...

Sorry to read this. I'm press officer for Walther/Germany, we saw your complaint (also at 23rd) at Facebook/Waltherarms, too. I have forwarded it immediately this morning (at 8:30 a.m. here) to the service- and export people and wait for a response. On the Facebook page from Walther Arms/USA your qu...

Re: Walther LP400 Grip Size - where to find the info

I'm sorry to have to mention that, but the offered 5D-grip for the LP400 (the early ones delivered at least) has the disadvantage, that you cannot adjust the grip angle, due to a different fixing mechanism (more like for LP300 than for LP400). This has been changed recently for the offered combos LP...

Re: Ambidextrous rifle

For converting the Walther KK300 and KK200 from left to right you only need a new right-hand grip. If you have an early KK200 with the simple wooden "post" grip, it is already ambidextrous (see picture). The actions itself are already right-handed (if you didn't order a left-hand, left act...

Re: Airgun Athletes to Compete in Europe

This match is perhaps better known as the Bavarian Airgun Championships because it serves as the Airgun Championships for the German state of Bavaria. which isn't exactly true. It is a very attractive competition since many years, organised by the bavarian shooting federation, but is not included i...

Re: TOZ 35 spare parts

It also helps not to "shoot" with at least an empty shell in the chamber, so that the very unusual firing "pin" doesn't hit the metal around the chamber (it does 50/50 % with a cartridge). This not only helps to prohibit a notch there (and follow-up ignition problems), but also t...

Re: Isakov and Walther LP400

Upps, somehow a Freudian error...

Always these synonyms in different languages, cylinders, tanks, capsules, bottles, whatever.

But I'm not afraid of flying tanks in the german army. Our helicopters don't fly, the ships don't swim, and with our assault rifles you can't hit (sometimes).

Re: Isakov and Walther LP400

problem of the threads in the LP400 cylinder stripping, sometimes resulting in the cylinders flying 5-6m down range. So, you're not satisfied with the precision of that flying tanks? Just joking... Seriously: even if some of the approx dozen threads in the cylinder were missing, I doubt that this c...

Re: Some help with translation please

"Teiler" (Divider) is a typical german and austrian phrase, used in regional competitions - the unit is 1/100 mm, so it's completely different to ring/point scoring. Best shot is a 0-Teiler (zero Teiler), which would be 0/100 mm from the center. 61 Teiler = 61/100 mm (0,61 mm) from center....

Re: Isakov and Walther LP400

I notice that Ulrich hasn't said anything about the stripped cylinder threads; strange. Not strange, simply a lack of time. To search through a thread like this one, which has not much to do with the original theme takes some time, and actually I've got only some minutes per day to look through sev...
