Re: Morini CM162EI: Everything's leaking!
The screw is misaligned and does not look properly seated, that's the reason it still wobbles. Whoever did this fix is definately not an "airgun smith", but a "franken smith" that doesn't know what he's doing...

Re: IZH46M .177
For a 20 year old air pistol, does the cylinder still compress, holds air, and fires normally?
If it still functions fine and it comes with the spare seals, you could easily ask $500-$600 more or less.

Probably H&N pellets, contact Walther and ask them:

Re: old vs new
From what I heard, old barrels were rifled in-house. Now, all their new barrels are sourced from lothar walther.
I have no doubt that FWB barrels are legendary, made to the highest degree of quality and accuracy, on par with Walther.

Re: Cheap pellets problem K12
The reasoning is that you can add it to sell the pistols for a higher price... An awful lot of top level shooters are still competing with Morini 162EI's, so I'm not convinced it's anything but a marketing gimmick. I wouldn't say it's a gimmick, the more innovative things you put into a device, the...

Re: Cheap pellets problem K12
Dirty, economical pellets can be cleaned very easily. Use a plastic container with some warm water and liquid soap. Move and swirl the pellets around with your fingers. When the lead sediments settles on the bottom, pass the pellets over to a strainer and flush the soap off with running water. Sprea...

Re: youth shoot player in CHN
No need to envy gun owners. I know gun laws in China are very strict, but if you love the shooting sports, you should contact the chinese shooting association. They can give you all the information you need, hopefully you'll find a coach/mentor to improve your skills.

Re: AP and best friends?
When my AmStaff sees my pistols or rifles, he automatically goes into hiding mode. With the new year's celebration and the neighbors setting off fireworks, the dog didn't bark, hide, nor was he scared of the popping and exploding sounds.

Re: Fwb corkscrew barrel
Back in the 80's FWB made this technological feat to prove that their airguns are pinpoint accurate, even with a twisted barrel. Supposedly, only 2 or 3 prototypes were made, none for commercial sale. Certainly a good investment that will increase in value over time.

Re: Baikal IZH-46 Seals
For those looking to use o-rings as a less expensive option for breech seals: https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/izh-46m-transfer-port-o-ring-solution.1284693/ If you're not using the pistol for a long time, always lubricate the piston seal and dry fire before guarding to prevent dry rotted seals.

Re: New AV 46M FPS Adjustment
Good, that extra oomph is music to one's ears when the pellet smacks against the steel plate. I can hear the difference in the ping sound when I hit a 10 or 6.

Re: New AV 46M FPS Adjustment
The piston will break in with use and a drop of oil will help to seal and increase velocity a bit, but for you to reach 480 fps, you'll need to carefully adjust the piston stroke.

Re: Air shutter Baikal IZH-46M never opens after initial pump
All the times without a pellet the shutter opened direct after the first pump. All the times with a pellet the shutter did not open (after the first, second or even third try). What I can think is that the pellet is not put far enough in the barrel, making it stick out and impossible for the hammer...

Re: Air shutter Baikal IZH-46M never opens after initial pump
Ballistol is not easy to come by in Costa Rica, that's the reason I just use mineral oil (Ballistol contains mostly medical grade mineral oil) purchased from the pharmacy for lubrication of several of my SSP and multipump pneumatics. However, I do use FWB special grease on my Izzy. By compressing an...

My $.02: I know this procedure is not mentioned in the Owner’s Manual but, when storing my IZZY, I leave it with the pistol charged with air. We do this for Crosman and Sheridan pump air rifles and it is recommended. It keeps pressure on the seals. WRONGO! Single stroke pnuematic airguns should NEV...
