Re: 10m air pistol advice

Thanks David. That's what I'm working on, just trying to ignore that movement and let it happen. Easier said than done sometimes, mind. You might already know this, be sure your stance and grip naturally points your gun to the target. If you closed your eyes and point your pistol with the most comf...

Search this site's Buy/Sell/Trade forum for past sales history to get an idea. Guns in mint condition, especially those with original accessories, boxes, manual, get top dollar. One minus in your case is if the pistols are all-original, they would have the original breech seals and pistol bumpers, w...

Quieting .22 trap

I have some rubber membrane roofing material left so I tried draping a couple of layers (60 mil per layer), behind the paper target inside the trap. Pellets shoot right through them but they do mute the sound quite a bit. Hardly any metallic clang now. The sheets hold up well because each pellet onl...

Long shot, no pun intended : )

I'm a newbie on these cyclinders, but just thinking if the valve is somehow jammed by some debris, maybe using the air release tool on them would help dislodge the debris. Wouldn't hurt to try, I would think. I have seen warnings against too-fast filling due to potential heat damage to the seals and...

162EI Fill

Thanks David I'll have to look into that, strange that it doesn't happen until the tubes are almost to the red before it happens, and no leaks after I shut off the SCUBA valve, and two tubes are unlikely to have the same issue.

Please, Guest, don't make this more complicated than it has to be. The following is my recollection of Don Nygord's instructions when I bought my K2s from him. Crack the tank valve ever so slightly, so that you get minimal air flow into your cylinder. After a few seconds when the cylinder has fille...

Grip Size on Morini 162 EI

I have the medium size grip now, but my hand is a men's small (85 mm) with slightly shorter than average fingers for that size. Has anyone had both a small and medium Morini grip who can comment on the difference in feel? I'm just wondering if there's a significant difference, given only a 5 mm palm...

My left eye is even worse, around +2.75 against about 2.25 for my right eye! And I'm right eye dominant. I shoot between large bores too so earplugs arent an option, they dont protect enough.(yeah maybe those made to fit but I dont have these). I tried normal +1 and +2 glasses today, that feels SO ...

In that case, the issue with this grip besides being large

size, is it's the "thick" variant which is meant for long fingers.

I suspect a troll

Probably the same person is posting all the negative comments in this thread, that's why he's not logging on to post.

The fact that the 46M year after year sells out so often and the fact they usually get close to their new price in resale value speaks for it.
