Open/Iron Sights

I've been using these since I was aged 10, so that's just over 62 years and I believed that they could not be improved but my Uncle Richard who was living and working in West Germany, showed me how he's painted the rear of his fore sights 'WHITE!' and It was on a Lee Enfield .303 rifle and I got the...

Re: Using the hand pump on a PCP pistol?

Being as how I'm both 72 years young and 70% Disabled Veteran I use BOTH Stirrup Pump and scuba bottle and the latter whacks the h**l out of my body, but, unlike the scuba bottle, all it needs is 'MUSCLE!' and the ability to breath when pumping, whilst the bottle needs to be recharged WAY to often a...

It's both a PCP and simple easy cocking type of gun/carbine, best one is the HP, which just needs filling to 200bar of air, either from a dive bottle or a Stirrup Pump. I've had mine, a .25 for 15 years and I'm both 72 years young and 70% disable...

My name is John and I'm 72 years of age and a 70% Disabled Veteran and I've just recently purchased a Morini CM 162EI, that came with a medium sized left hand grip. I'm unfortunately mainly right handed, but I've been trying to shoot left handed. Being Disabled I'm not able to attend any Local Club...
