There shouldn't be ANY leakage of air from those two holes, or indeed from the breech area. If air is definitely escaping from one of the holes, the grubscrew is missing. A good engineer's supply shop should be able to sell you a replacement. If air is escaping from the breech, the 'o'-ring inside t...

I don't actally own an Izzy, but I'm sure that your page will prove a great resource for owners of this excellent pistol. Thanks for taking the time and trouble to put it up.

Cheers,

I have an Anschutz LP@, and just had a good look at the front end. The compensator has a bore of around 5mm, and the actual barrel starts 40mm back from the muzzle. There are drillings at the sides, base, and upper quadrants of the comp, near the muzzle end. So the answer is no, the barrel itself is...

Hi Fred, Yes, the "first stage" was quite short, a movement of about 3mm, I recall. The spring controlling this first movement seemed to be quite soft, just sufficient to return the trigger if the shot was not released. Maybe the excerpt above from the owner's manual kindly supplied by Rei...

I shot a FWB 80 competitively until reasonably recently, and found it accurate and consistent. It is a fairly heavy pistol, at around 1.2kg, but balances well. I also wasn't particularly fond of the trigger - nothing really wrong with it, but the sensation of "sliding backwards to release"...

...are that the cost and effort of travelling to Pilkguns will be more than worth it. By talking to Warren in person, you'll get sound and honest advice. You'll be able to handle (and maybe even test-fire) a number of pistols, and this is a vital part of making the best selection. You'll also be est...

I assume you are refilling pistol cylinders? I shoot an Anschutz LP@, and use an FX high pressure pump to recharge my cylinders. Two reasons for this - NZ has fairly strict rules around scuba tank ownership and refilling, and I live in a rural area, and would have to trek into town to get a scuba ta...

I've just returned to NZ from a holiday in australia, where I arranged to buy an Anschutz LP pistol from Potter Firearms. Rob Potter really pulled out all the stops, and gave me a really good deal. He arranged the onerous export pap[erwork, then even trekked some 25km through Monday morning traffic ...

Thanks a million, Mark! That's great news. I have to say I feared that High Noon was no more, so I'm relieved to hear it'll continue.

And thanks, Grzegorz, for your hard work and faith in us - I'll be submitting my August score shortly.

I've tried all the links, but everything comes up "page not available". Has Grzegorz terminated the competition and taken down the site?? I sincerely hope not, as I enjoyed competing each month, and comparing my efforts to other international shooters. Anyone have any info? Grzegorz, are y...

Well, I had a prowl through the Russian forum, and discovered that one enquirer had actually been offered an MP-672 for 14000 roubles, but without the air cylinder!! When asked where a cylinder could be had, the seller's answer was "dunno - we don't have them"!! I suspect this might have b...

Hi Stefan,

Yeah, I've been watching that, too, for about 6 months!! There seems to be no progress in getting the pistol into production - don't know why. If the loooonng wait folk are having for the restock of IZH46-Ms is any indication, it'll be a while before these are available!

Hi James, I too have been in touch with Pilkington's re this pistol. At present they have no stock, and are not certain as to how long it'll be before new stock comes in. If you are in the USA, I suggest you do an internet search and see if you can turn one up. For me, though, its a question of bein...

With the greatest repect, I would point out that ANY pistol is really only as good as the person shooting it. In the hands of an expert shot, the FWB Mod 2 would still produce world class scores. On the other hand, give me a Morini 162EI with all the bells and whistles, and I'll still only manage a ...

Has anyone heard any further news of this pistol? Baikal still shows its picture with "Pre-production" under it. I believe someone from Canada (?) had heard it'd be available toward the end of this year - any info?

Thanks,

Aaahh....Grasshopper! Now you know the Buddha really does live in your air pistol!

Or, to misquote the famous Zen saying:

"When shooting - just shoot. When thinking - just think. But above all, don't wobble!"

Hi WeeHooker, not sure where you're posting from - there's a FWB65 showing on NZ's online auction. Here's the URL: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Sports/Archery-shooting/Air-guns/auction-21154074.htm If you're from the USA, it'll seem very expensive, but remember to divide NZ$ by 1.4 to get approx US$. If...

Hey Patrick - you're so right. Its very easy to get conned into the "if it ain't the latest, its inferior" way of thinking. This is how the car industry thrives. I drive a really old car, but it works fine, and does all I require it to. Likewise, my air pistol is an oldie but a goodie, and...
