TargetTalk

This is the "Shooters Lounge" section of TT. Lounges are generally places for open conversation with no topic restriction other than common decency. Nobody forces you to click on a posting. If Rover annoys, don't read his posts. I agree. I would have been surprised if there had not been s...

Rarely posting, I read TargetTalk for insight into the sport of precision shooting, not for political bickering. There are numerous chat sites that are politically themed, but scarce few are devoted precision shooting. I respectfully request that the moderators and administrator either ban politics ...

A used gun in hand is a lot better than a few pictures. Will they let you shoot it? Three magazines worth of SV will probably tell you if it is reliable. Brand new guns sometimes have problems too. A guy I knew sent his new MP90 back to Larry twice before it would work. Each time, it took three or f...

I made one using a cheap butterfly net, PVC pipe, a plastic ammo box, an o-ring, flexible metal strapping and heavy screws. Build a PVC frame that sits on top of the ammo box out of 4, 90° elbows, 2 pieces of pipe for the short ends, 1 long piece of pipe for 1 of the long sides, 2 pieces of pipe and...

I have one of these;

An IZH-46M, a LP10 and a Toz will fit all pointing in the same direction.

Here's a thread that should help:

shootright - I think what guest #1 was implying, was that you should do some searching yourself before posting. If you look at the links to the right of the TargetTalk header, there are links for Calendar, FAQ, Search , Memberlist, etc. Personally, I have answered most of my own questions using the ...

My SP is adjustable for depth and width. Before you start filing, you might check the manual. It appears the rear sights for their free, air and sport pistols are the same.
:-)

If you're looking for a replacement for a scope, and the associated position change to look through the scope, how about a baby monitor? You can even buy ones that play lullabies to your target. :-P For example, $80 will get you: http://www.walmart.com/ip/MOTOROLA-Digital-Video-Baby-Monitor-with-1.5...

My advice (free and only worth the cost) 1. Get over your cold. 2. 'Play' with your new 'toy'. Hold it, feel it, dry-fire it, become 'one' with it, etc. 3. After getting over your cold, dry-fire it and shoot it. Dry-fire it. Shoot it. And repeat. Oh, and dry-fire it. Did I mention that you should dr...

I think I had the same problem with my SP (not rapid). I called it "stove piping" because the smoking, open end of the spent case would stick out the side like a stove pipe. Like you said, it was usually the fourth round fired, but occasionally others as well. Contacting Larry's is pointle...

Deanna at Larry's tells me that the Xesse is made and assembled in Germany. I can't say what Brenzovich's been smoking. There is a standard and a sport model. The upgrades to the sport model include a better rear sight, a front sight that rotates for three different widths and an upgraded grip. Larr...

Would the cheap stuff include the Xesse?

I called Brenzovich http://www.brenzovich.com/ as they were listed as an importer for Walther/Hammerli. The gentleman told me that they had discontinued their relationship about six years ago. He said Walther had transferred all Hammerli manufacturing to China. Can anyone confirm this? What about W...

I forgot because it's become such a habit,... When cocking, always pull on both ears of the hood/bolt handle and try to pull back evenly, and slowly. That way, you can feel both sides click back. You may also feel one side click back before the other! Since I've found that one side can be cocked whi...

Like Richard H said, there are a lot of inter-dependencies. I'm not sure, but I think the second stage travel comes out of the first stage travel. If the first stage is non-existent, there isn't anything left for the second stage. Also, I think the trigger stop might affect the travel(s). You might ...

Increasing the second stage length solved this problem with mine.

Thank you all for your suggestions and insight.

I took the gun to a gunsmith. His opinion is that the extractor is too sharp. It was holding the spent case just a wee bit too long. He is going to round the edges slightly.

Thank you again.

For clarity, exactly what do you mean by "stove pipe." stove pipe - spent case remains in in the gun's ejection port preventing the bolt from closing and/or the next round from feeding properly. If it is a new pistol, have you started with the vendor? Yes. Larry's has been helpful in sugg...

Apparently, I have an especially finicky Pardini. I keep having stove pipe issues. To resolve the issues, I have tried; different kinds of ammunition (Federal, SK, Aquila, Eley Sport, RWS) repeated thorough cleanings oiling the ammunition (Break Free, FP-10) 'tweaking' the magazine lips reversing th...
