Re: Steyr lp10 black vs silver

It makes absolutely no difference between black and silver. I shoot both , I personally own a silver LP10 and fired a black model many times, and never faced any issue in terms of visibility of front sight or sight alignment as far light reflection is a concern. Practically while shooting you will h...

Re: SKATT PROBLEMS

1. Did you adjusted and calibrated your Optical sensor by pressing F2 ?
2. At what distance you are shooting at your target ? (Distance between Scatt and Optical Sensor) ?

There is really only one air gun that is possibly suitable (without mod) for a shooter that young and small. The old Daisy/Avanti XSV-40. PCP, lightweight and the trigger can be adjusted decently low. They are hard to find since they are such good guns and still command a price over $400. They will...

My apologies for replying late. Thanks to Dude and JSB for clarifying my doubt. Yes I also think that 17.2 mm will work fine in my 601, and I placed my order to Mr. Ray for the same. I will post the results once I receive it.

To the OP I suggest you contact the BATF and the Dept. Of State prior to purchasing firearms in the US because the value of the legal advice that one gets from a forum is worth about what one pays for it. If you do contact them make sure you get it writing. I agree with Richard on this , However Be...

Can't you fly over, buy it and fly back and bypass a lot of paperwork? I heard this many years ago so not sure if it still applies. That's still exporting and you need the right paper work, not sure if I'd be willing to gamble with my freedom and spending a long time in a cell just to save a few hu...

Yes you are correct .. There is no reason why it cannot be used with scatt system, initially I had a wrong impression that scatt is getting feed by some mechanism associated with trigger pull (some sensor which mechanically works when system fires and sends a signal to scatt device) so the rifle act...
