Pilkington had several 84E's about a year ago. I bought one from Scott for (I think?) $1,200. Range of prices $1k-$1,200 depending on condition.

One thousand bucks!!! Have at it $1,000 goes a long way towards a quality PCP. (Not mine. No interest in this . . . ) Ebay: link:https://www.ebay.com/itm/144704669173?itmmeta=01HSVMDK1QX5BQVTC983T6VG0G&hash=item21b11205f5:g:m9kAAOSwrdtjFNah&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4Fr0x9YUcA8gWMPDtqIR9RTeBpYfb0...

PirateJohn is CORRECT! Integer scores for pistol. Pistol: No one has ever scored a "perfect" 600. MAP: WR=594; Jr. WR=588. WAP: WR=591; Jr. WR=585. American record = 591. Rifle: Routinely see 60 scores, all 10.0+; even the CMP matches, you'll see "600" regularly. (Go ARMY ladies!...

1. Affect Accuracy? Probably not. Slight difference in weight/mass, inconsequential. On the converse, I'll attached a compact cylinder to a full-length Steyr EVO & then add a couple of the 5-gram "ballasts" close to the action. Again, inconsequential. 2. Rules? If it fits in "The ...

I should just mail you an envelop full of cash, right?

How appropriate! There's a gold medal awarded for the "Cow Bird Murder'n Championship"?

Stay on topic people.

One of my smart-ass posts referred to DDK as a "Rodent that needs to be shot" . . . it will be shot against pests and rodents in general. Where's ddk576? He'd up his "Post-count" with posts such as (quote): "Thanks for sharing" that's it - like he's at his Kleptomanics-...

There is a misconception about titanium alloys. They are much softer than steel alloy, they have a much lower tensile strength. Confirmed! Young's modulus typical steel = 190-215 GPa Young's modulus pure titanium = 120 GPa This value represents the material's stiffness or ability to resist deformat...

I read somewhere about using nitrogen as a gas. If anyone is doing that I'd like to hear from you and how it's working out . . . Nitrogen Hypoxia is the latest fad in euthanizing criminals - less messy than 'Ol Sparky, but not quite as traditional Americana like the firing squad. Have considered ap...

. . . and you can still ride your horse to the match. Results you can communicate via telegraph . . . .

Pink Loctite - might work, might not. Very small application of the low-strength Pink loctite, maybe use the blue, not NOT the red or black loctite. LINK: https://www.amazon.com/Loctite-555339-Strength-Thread-Locker/dp/B07CNNJJ79/ref=sr_1_4?crid=NV1COSW82283&keywords=pink%2Bloctite&qid=17073...

Here's some raw data from CMP this morning. (Steyr EVO10): Terminal velocity at target from the new machines indicating 489ft/sec. We then chrony'd same pistol, same pellets at the muzzle - consistently 531 ft/sec. ; with the 8.2 grain pellets. Interesting, didn't think there'd be a 40fps decline fr...

With the new electronic targets at CMP- Anniston: The system now measures and reports pellet velocity at target. (Don't know if it will calculate average velocity for 60 shots - I didn't fiddle with it enough today.) RESULTS with 8.2 grain R-10 RWS "Rifle" pellets: Range of velocity from: ...

Rover, bring your elk steaks; I'll get some genuine Appalachian 'Shine for you and the Chihuahua.

Quaaludes and Taco Bell might be the fix:
