Just got done fixing a leaky grip cap on one of mine. The O-ring for the piercing pin boke. Ready for the morning routine tomorrow. Love the Mk1 and S&W 78g.

What pistol did you shoot today
- Thread starter Septicdeath
- Start date
Have the 78g and 79g. The 78g is a better shooting pistol in my experience. I'd like to aquire the mk2 someday. I've heard the same about them. The mk1 out shooting the 2.

Just stopped shooting now due to the heat wave here in SoCal, already @ 28 deg C. But anyway the black Mk1 is holding pressure again and got to try some def. pellets for her.

UPDATE: 1600 shots later ....
No failures to feed with Black Diamond BBs in 1500 shots.
Six F2F with lead BBs in 100 shots.
Barrel shroud set screw is worthless ... barrel shroud is now secured with epoxy.
Not sure why receiver and shroud weren't made as a single piece to start with (like the real gun).
Rear sight too loose at the hinge, rendering it useless. Re-bored hinge hole for a light press fit. Much better now.
I grease all the moving internals *very* liberally (not the magazine, just the gun). It seems to like it.
This is no target pistol, .... accuracy is sub-par. But I don't think that's the point of a BB repli-gun.
However, on full auto it's quite fearsome at close range (10m or less).

Sorry guys, but today I shot a BHP with suppressor. Deep bluing, made in Belgium, assembled in Portugal. Be Well, B.

Just finished my morning routine with the S&W 78's, the 79 is missing in action due to restoration.

Wow, such a big drop in temps today! Yesterdays high was 107F today only 83F, so back to PCP pistols.

Pulled it apart today to grease up the innards, and took it out for some exercise.
And another rattlesnake *almost* fell victim to the dreaded Mauser.
He saw me, I saw him, and it was like a scene from a cartoon ..... a snake going as fast as it could with a trail of ammo kicking up the dirt inches behind him.
I need to get more of a lead next time

Give him more lead for more lead! OK, I know, BBs out of that gun are normally plated steel. Be Well My Pistoleros, Bandito.

I wasn't all that happy with the painted look, so I hit it with some steel wool and Brasso.Pulled it apart today to grease up the innards, and took it out for some exercise.

That scuffs it up a bit for a "used" look.
An unexpected result was all the surfaces are extremely smooth now, it actually feels like polished steel.

Fiddling around with the KWC Luger again.
This is a replica of the "baby" Luger with the short 3" barrel, and as you might expect the accuracy is nothing to brag about., even for a BB gun.
I glued that wiggly barrel shroud in place with epoxy and that helped .... a little.
But I might get another one of these and do a "Navy conversion", i.e. swap the 3" barrel for a 6" barrel. That oughta make a real difference.

A lot of stress today, but I managed to squeeze in some quick (literally) series with this one.

Back with the Mak.
This is the only all-steel repli-gun I have.
Just did a reseal and ran a few rounds through it to make sure it’s ok.
Oddly, this CO2 gun is more expensive than a real 9mm Makarov. Go figure
