WOW, I was CERTAIN that David M had it right. I had sold many S&W striker springs to fix the problem. Just shows to go ya.

Re: Newbie - progression and frustrations

All the above advice is good, but you need to continue working on your grips. Get a small round or oval rasp that will fit a cordless drill at the hardware store (cheap) and some two-part kneadable epoxy and go to work. Your hand may change a little from day to day, so proceed with a little each day...

I had a Victor. Excellent pistol. At the time, I was playing with different pistols. I should have kept it.

Re: CCI Standard Velocity .22LR Quality?

I, too, use a mid-80s M41 and was having some of the same issues. It wasn't until the extractor fell off that I realized it had been cracked for some time. A new extractor cured most of the issues, but I was still getting the misfires. It was (is) the ammo, both plastic case and blue box. Just FYI, ...

No. Pilk sold them to someone else (or more than one). I don't know who bought them and neither does Buck.
I have the feeling that they parted not too cordially, but I really don't know.

Thanks but it seems that Pilk only works on Styer air guns
At one time Pilk had taken in a large amount of FWB 65 and was refurbishing and selling them.

Buck told me Pilk had sold all his airgun parts (slipped my mind). Soooo, being the US Steyr distributor....

Re: Bullseye in Tucson, AZ

Rio Salado is no time saver for you and is not the "real deal" as PRGC (where I was on the Board of Directors).

I have forwarded this to a couple of guys I shot with from Tucson. Hopefully, they will respond to you.

Re: H&N distributor in the US?

I guess you may have to switch over to the devastating accuracy and low price of RWS Basic. Luckily, they're available in 500 tins from ISS in Texas.

IF you phone, you may be able to get the pellets of your hearts desire.

Re: Looking for my first Olympic airpistol

My take on this is: buy a good used SSP. Forget all the additional expense of SCUBA etc., the aggravation of outdated cylinders, annoying inspections.
Most repairs are an O-ring.

Sure, I have PCPs. That's why I'm telling you to buy a SSP. Can't find one? Boo hoo.

Re: WTB: short clamp on barrel weight for FWB 65

For a quick and dirty (don't we all love those), just wrap some solder around the barrel. Tape if necessary. You can get EXACTLY the weight you need.
