What pistol did you shoot today

A bit of range time with my Soviet Comrade.
Just finished rebuilding with the addition of a Delrin spring guide, only to find that the piston seal is hardly touching the cylinder wall - so the fps could be better, but a new seal is on order from Poland which will hopefully sort that out.

Modski that is an interesting looking gun. After it is resealed etc. let us know how it shoots for you. Be Well Brother Pistoleros, B.
It is already much better than when I first got it, made the spring guide, lined the piston and polished anything that rubbed against anything else.
Also made a new breech seal arrangement that took the transfer port down from 4.5mm to 3mm.
Fps has gone from around 290 to over 350, hoping for more when the new piston seal arrives. 🤞

Yes, that spring is wonky, but it is now much more constrained than the the original arrangement. 😁
I have been shown a supplier in Ukraine that does gas rams that can possibly take the fps to 550!

Very cool! Never saw one of these before. I have a keen interest in springers and especially historical novelties like this 👍
