    What pistol did you shoot today

    Resealed and greased the old C40, and ran a few dozen rounds through it. Seems to like the domed 7gr pellets best. But you fix one problem only to find another ... the spare magazines jam like crazy. It originally came with two mags and they work perfectly, no jamming or misfires. When I went...

    Is that a spare cylinder or are they operating in parallel?

    Tuning Umarex M1A1 Thompson Repair

    Is there a way to oil the sear without separating the case halves?

    Never sell those 👍. I love mine and they’re always a joy to shoot.

    What pistol did you shoot today

    Barrel bands for the 2240 .... Not much secures that steel breech , just one bolt at the rear and a tiny screw near the middle. I added a rubber o-ring for the transfer port and that meant having to press the breech and gas tube together when tightening up the small screw ... always worrying...

    >> Are they worth the c-note? Yes indeed. I needed to widen one of the holes very slightly on the underside of the right grip and I suspect that was only because I have the aftermarket aluminum trigger cover on that side, not the original cover. After that, everything fit like a glove...

    Need a low power air pistol, or possibly a rifle. What to get in today's market?

    Crosman 1322 and 1377 are both well under $100 and can pump up to deliver respectable power

    I finally got the bug to dress up the 1322 a bit. Ok, maybe more than a bit :). Steel breech, 12" barrel, trigger upgrade, green dots, and I just *had* to have that walnut grip set. I hardly ever give it more than 3-4 pumps, and that seems enough to deliver impressive accuracy.

    1322

    Same here. Amazon won’t ship airguns to California. But it seems most anyone else will 🙄

    I’m also a big Diana fan. Both the pistols and rifles. Still have my old model 5 from the ‘70’s

    >>> He had see a lot but never one of the FWB pistols nor anything like the HW35e, and was amazed at the beauty and feel of those guns. <<< That was my reaction as well, when I first got my hands on a quality airgun.

    What pistol did you shoot today

    I mostly shoot air pistols, but when I can get out to the range I take a small collection of powder burners that I’ve gathered over the years.

    KWC_PO8 It fits into an actual Luger police holster, including the extra CO2 mag. There's no end of ways to spend money on this stuff :)

    KWC PO8 Luger, Umarex M712 Broom Handle, loose barrel shrouds

    These things are all hammered out to a (low) price point, so I sorta view them as unfinished kits. Lots of room for major improvements for the intrepid tinkerer. And if you have access to even a small bench top lathe like a little Atlas 101 or similar, you can work magic. Actually I’m probably...

    KWC PO8 Luger, Umarex M712 Broom Handle, loose barrel shrouds

    If you think it’s more accurate now, just wait till you add the shoulder stock 🙂 Oh … one more thing … when I got mine, the rear sight seemed a bit loose (side to side). I pulled the sight (knocked out the pin) and filled the holes in the sight with JB Weld. Then re-drilled the hole (through...

    What pistol did you shoot today

    First things first … took a black felt pen to that silly “Not a Toy …. “ text just under the slide, and replaced the plastic grips with some proper rosewood grips from Springfield Armory. Had to remove a little wood to clear a small bump in the airgun frame that doesn’t exist on a real 1911...

    KWC PO8 Luger, Umarex M712 Broom Handle, loose barrel shrouds

    And it really comes to life after a treatment with “fine” steel wool … it polishes the matt finish to a smooth satin lustre that both looks and feels more real. I pushed it further for a more worn look, going to the bare metal in some places. Dipped the bolt in paint remover since the real C96...

    KWC PO8 Luger, Umarex M712 Broom Handle, loose barrel shrouds

    I think you will be pleasantly surprised (accuracy), especially if you attach the shoulder stock. And with the JB Weld you can literally hold it by the barrel without fear of anything coming loose 👍. BTW, Sarco sells a nice wood shoulder stock that fits (for the C96 but the M712 uses the same...
