What pistol did you shoot today

[Modski66]

A proper outing to the range for this VERY Noisy Cricket.

Not sure if the accuracy at 10m is down to the old pellets, the skinny front sight, or the lump of meat on the grip, but it has put a big grin on my face this morning.

Shot the Hy-Score 800

Nice, I'm rebuilding one now. It's missing the rear sight, looking at yours, I think I can use lever action rear.

HW70,

Great pistol. Crow

The rear on mine is a old Winchester sight

This is for all you repli-gun folks.
The Barra Schofield comes standard as a .177 BB gun, but there's a rifled barrel upgrade for pellets.
This one arrived yesterday and I immediately swapped the smooth bore for the rifled barrel.
It's no match gun, but the accuracy is still very good (pellets, that is. The BB accuracy was terrible as expected).
Got my best groups with 7.9gr hollow points, and about 60 good shots per cylinder.

The shells are different for the pellet conversion.
BB shells have a plastic nose for loading BBs in the front, pellet shells have a plastic insert in back for loading pellets in back.

For those who also own the Umarex Colt SAA, the shells are not cross-compatible. Although at first glance they look almost identical.
The Colt shells are slightly larger in diameter and will not go into the Schofield.
And the Schofield shells are not only too small in diameter to properly fit the Colts' cylinder, they're also slightly shorter. So even if someone did stuff one into a Colt it probably would leak like a seive at the barrel interface.

Ran a few different types of ammo through this again today. Crosman 7.9gr hollow points, flat nose, round nose, lead BBs, copper coated lead BBs, and plastic Blaster BBs.
Barrel is rifled (I did the barrel swap).
While pellets are still typically much more accurate than BBs, the Blaster plastic BBs were almost as good (10 meter target). That was quite a surprise. And even better … those plastic BBs cost almost nothing.
Note that the BBs and pellets require different shells

Got to shoot the top right build. Last of the builds for each family member. They all have brass valves, solid pistons, 14 inch barrel cut and crowned to 12 inches, metal barrel bands, less than 2lb trigger pulls. I will be going in and pining the other 2 guns and they will all get threaded muzzle breaks. I have only shot them randomly and all stack chph at 5 yards.

A couple of these

 

[crowski]

Haven’t shot this but once or twice. What a beautiful shooting pistol. Fit like a glove.

FWB 65. The trigger is so smooth. Crow

 

[Bandito]

Diana 6M fits me well in a similar fashion. Will one day acquire an FWB 65 if the Good Lord lets me stick around long enough! Be Well Pistoleros, Bandito.

Not only a smooth trigger, but hardly any recoil. A beautiful piece of craftsmanship!

Not only a smooth trigger, but hardly any recoil. A beautiful piece of craftsmanship!

Moreover, the breech is massive, more like a rifle breech. In fact, the whole thing looks to have been modeled after a rifle.

A rainy day so I decided I would shoot the Plainsmaster 9406 indoors.

 

[Bandito]

Didn't shoot but fondled my 6M a lot. Thinking about how I will refit the front sight. Grub screw, when few are available in town, OR, find an appropriate sized O-ring to give sufficient tension. Hmmmm! Be Well Pistoleros, Bandito

 

[Genob]

Shooting my newly finished Notos pistol, got 642 f/sec with JSB 14.35s for 13 fpe. Can tune it to 15+ fpe but I like the shot count now 35 plus on the reg with the smaller air volume (52 cc). Tomorrow is target testing, hope weather holds.

Yes, and they get better as the model numbers go up. I have a couple of 65's with the more sport type grips, and then a couple of 80's wit target gripps like those. The 65 is great and the 80 another world. I understand the 90 has a electronic trigger, I started to get one but learned that there is some electronic part that may go bad and is hard to replace, but decided to pass on that one.

What did I shoot today, nothing. The wind is gusting so strongly that If I go out and stand up to shoot like I prefer I will be weaving back and forth.

Can’t imagine better. Got to be a dream. Crow

Another outing with the E9a to try out some different ammunition.
Definitely better, the top target is rested, the bottom target off-hand. I was doing quite well until the gas faded and left me with the two dropped shots.
Still can't get it central, the rear sight is as far over as it will go, and then some more after I enlarged the screw hole. I might add some black plastic card to the left side of the front sight to balance it up.

Had our first 70 degree day this year on Monday. Spent a couple of hours out back plinking with the TAU-7 and HW75.
