Lighten up David, maybe if you'd used the term "laser sight", instead of "Red Dot", Dave wouldn't have cracked wise.

.22short vs. .22LR rifling twist

I've been asked to re-chamber Walther .22short rapid fire pistol to chamber a long rifle, for use in bullseye and standard international. Don't remember if he mentioned the model, but he said the magazine would be no problem, so I assume it's been blocked for the short, and can be altered, or replac...

Champ, You might want to check out the 10P files at Pilkguns (Our host). There have been some trigger issues with this model, and more than one change in trigger types. Which one this gun has can be determined by serial#.

I believe we covered this pretty thoroughly several years ago on this thread. Boy, old age is strange. I can't remember what I had for dinner last night, but remembered this old thread!

I just lower the gun until a white band is visible below the bull. This may vary slightly with lighting conditions, but not enough to affect center of group, and keeps me from focusing on the bull.

Mr I have just commenced shooting target pistol and will shortly be able to purchase my own (NSW based with obligatory 6 months wait before I can get a Permit To Own). I do not want to spend a fortune on my first pistol and am therefore looking to the less costly end of the market, either used or c...

Guest, How did you arrive at .002 sec.? If you decided that a bullet traveling at 1000fps. takes .002 sec. to travel 24in.(two feet), you're right. But the bullet is accelerating from 0 fps., to 1000 fps. over that 24in. The barrel time would depend on rate of acceleration, which would depend upon t...

Since a PCP air pistol has no recoil(to speak of), I don't test my 162E using my Ransom Rest, I just clamp the grip in my drill press vise in the basement, and use the machine controls to move the groups horizontally and vertically. This allows me to fire a dozen or more groups on a single reversed ...

Thanks Max, I miked the factory replacement buffer, which, aside from the "ears", is a basically square with radius-ed corners, looks sort of like an old TV screen. It measures .555" across the flats both ways, and .600" diagonally. The thickness is .186". I'll probably make...

Thanks, I've got sheets of 3/4" polyethylene (commercial cutting boards) in my shop. I can turn a suitable diameter round bar, slice it into 3/16" thick discs, and mill two sides like a slab sided bbl., leaving about .020" for the "ears".

Thanks, Max. I just removed what was left of the original buffer, and found recesses in the upper and lower edges of the cavity in the plate where the "ears" on the back edge of the factory replacement buffer would fit. This answers the question regarding attachment. Would you know the Dur...

Benelli MP95 Buffer Replacement

Folks, I've got to replace the buffer in my MP95. I've got a replacement I've purchased from EAA back when I first bought the gun(new), but have forgotten how it's attached to the recoil plate. Is it cemented? If so, what kind? I'm not happy with the way it's begun to crumble. I can see it flattenin...

I couldn't help but notice the shooters from Poland and Spain were the only ones shooting an MG2. All the rest looked like Pardinis. I know Larry's Guns carries the Pardinis's, but can't seem to find a source for the MG's, here in the States. Anybody have a clue?

I am sure that I am probably opening up a can of worms here but I would not want a slide mounted scope on a 1911 38. At least two bullseye smiths that I have talked to say that the 38 wadcutter does not have enough energy to action the slide with the weight of a slide mounted dot on a 1911. My gues...

When I had my shop, I used to clean local customers' inexpensive .22 autoloading rifles, by removing the stocks, and soaking the actions by immersing them in a 5gal. bucket of petroleum solvent (paint thinner), then blowing them out with about 90psi of air. This dissolved and carried away old dried,...

Try European American Armory, down in Fla..

Of course, this was several years ago, and the hold-open, to my k...
