If the OP is a lefty then the best bet is the Tau-7 because you can actually find (if you look around) a left hand grip for the Tau. The trigger on the Izzy is canted for a right hand shooter. Furthermore, since the OP already shoots a Tau rifle he is probably set up for bulk which makes shooting th...

sounds like there might be grease or something stuck in the valve. Take off the piston and clean from the inside.

Brian, is that the one in Alfred that you saw? I had a look at it. I think you would need to substantially change the magazine in order to put 10 LR rounds in it. Might be a lot cheaper to just shoot 22short in there. It's a pain that it only takes 5 rounds.

Cross over the brige and go to Hull to ask Jocelyn at Cible Canada Target. If it's possible to do a conversion he will be able to do it. If not, he can sell your old gun and get you a new CA one.

Denis

For parts, contact Jocelyn at Cible Canada Target. He got me parts for mine. Since you are not talking a complete gun you should have no problem getting the parts shiped to you even if you are not in Canada.

Actually the Drulov is great fun. I have one which I bulk fill so it costs nothing to fill. It's just a shame the triger is not like the one on my Tau-7.

Denis

I don't know about the gun loosing preasure but the trigger on the 46M does have an angle on it. The botton of the trigger leans to the right of the gun.


Denis

The Drulov is a 5 shot. The trigger is not as good as the other guns listed, but for the price it's hard to beat.

They have some information that may help.

If you are up in Canada, Princess Auto (of all places) has a cheap spotting scope that costs about $50.00. It comes with a short tripod but I use a full size camera tripod on mine, as it has the same thread size. That scope is on sale regularly. No it's not top of the line by a long shot, but it's c...

Semi-custom grips that are very reasonably priced if you don't want to go the dremel and rasp way.

The Tau 7 is also a nice gun, slightly more expensive than the IZH-46M but it might be easier to find, including on the 2d hand market. No need to crank, adjustable trigger and weights, and you can simply use regular CO2 caplets which are relatively cheap if you buy them in boxes of 40 or so. You wo...

I ordered my grips a bit over a year ago. Back then the waiting time was about 4 weeks, including shipping to Canada. I don't know what the waiting time is today. In my case, they fit perfectly. The new grips (in my case) are much thicker than the existing ones ever were, and the gun is much more st...

My hand was also too big for the standard grips. I had semi-custom grips made at Neil Johnson guns. Cost was very reasonable, service was great, and the gun shoots well enough to warant putting on better looking, and better fitting grips.

Mine was fine out of the box. My only problem was that I had not read the instructions and had not realised that you really have to push down on the loading "arm" for it to "click" in place. Of course, now you have to sand the grip down to something usefull. Rigid 1/2 inch tubes ...

Could you be using a pellet which is too big??? Possibly your barrel likes 4.49 better than 4.50?

Denis

It almost sounds like the bolt is not locked in or did not cycle properly when you loaded. Try releasing the bolt lever (on the right side of the barrel) and then cycle the bolt completely (all the way up and then down and locked) like you were going to dry-fire. Remember it's LOADED and can fire at...

If your piston is removed from the pistol you can unscrew the little black screw that locks the piston in position and then screw or unscrew the piston to increase (or decrease the preasure). There is a limit to how far you can unscrew the piston (unscrewing moves the piston closer to the rear of th...

Oops, forgot the links. 1st one is the Izzy page, 2d is Baikal.

You might want to try an e-mail directly to Baikal in Russia. In the past at least they have answered questions directly, and in English. I never had that type of problem with my 46 but I'm wondering if either the trigger adjustment were just too much for the gun (I would change them back to the way...
