Re: Chamber flag question

At $2 (15 kr) each they are good value. I’m trying to buy some from the SPSF but have run into a shipping road lock. Hopefully the Swedish end can sort something out.

Thanks for the advice.

can the list be updated with the results in between? :)
Can probably say Morini for FP, Steyr for AP and Pardini for the rest ;-)

Azmodan, you might be able to trawl through YouTube clips for the missing years to complete the list yourself.

Re: Is it likely that a .32 S&W long wadcutter can be reloaded on a progressive?

I found no difference in accuracy between the adjustable charge bar and the drilled holes… After reading a thread in the Bullseye-L forum on reloading using the Arredondo micrometer bar from UniqueTek* wherein a poster said he got no real difference using the Arredondo product (and from JamesH's co...

Re: Feinwerkbau 103 pellet preference?

i read in a post a while back (I can’t remember which forum) that the pellet should be sized so that the head just skates along the lands, hardly being engraved at all, minimising friction. The skirt is what provides the air seal and the spin. Our host, Scott Pilkington, wrote a series of articles f...

Re: Dry Fire Advice?

I can’t see how dry firing with a dot sight against a blank wall will tell you anything. You are only looking at one thing - the dot. I’d suggest that you need a mark on the wall, however close, to enable you to determine if you are moving the sight when releasing the trigger.

Re: Slugging barrel

Just hope that you have an even number of lands/grooves. Measuring the dia. of an odd number becomes a bit of a palava involving V-blocks and mathematics…

Re: Slide Won't Cock Hammer: How to Make the Return Spring Weaker?

Certainly leaving the pistol cocked over night would soften the spring a little. In fact Pardini recommend “seasoning” their new pistol springs by leaving the pistols cocked overnight and the magazines being left fully loaded overnight too (preferably NOT in the pistol).

Re: Iron sights/ rulebook query

Isn't any surface light reflecting? That's how we see stuff! Actually, the front sight is not light reflecting, it’s in silhouette. And to enhance that, some sights are undercut and some shooters use smokers or sight spray (or even black hair spray) to reduce/avoid reflection. So it would seem that...

Re: Pelican Case Locks

A suggestion: Use whatever padlock(s) you have but run some duct tape over each one, from the top of the case to the underside, to hold them close to the case to prevent them catching on anything. Easy to install and remove and only needed when you hand them over to the airline staff.

Re: Air gun and pellet testing

Were all the pellets the same size and, if so, what was that size? If the pellet is the right size for the barrel, the head will “skate” along to top of the lands while the skirt will expand into the grooves and provide the seal and spin. A too large pellet will be slower as the lands engrave the he...
