I have one and won my first Match with it and CCI Std. I was pleased with it but bought a C-Z 457 shortly after and it shoots better.
When I stated they were Unertl mounts I did so because that is what they look like. I have found many different mounts that appear to be the same. These have no markings, but I believe they are the...
The Scope is designed to slide back and forth in the rings
About three years I purchased a .38/55 C-Sharps with a 18" Malcomb 6X Scope and cannot get it to hold zero. After exploring every other avenue, I locked the gun in position on the bench and shot it...

When I shear off the base plate, in the center where the hole was, is a pitting, crusty hole in the base of the bullet.

All of a sudden, I am getting Chrystel pitting in the center of the base of my 480 gr. .40 cal. cast bullets. Is it lead temperature or pouring technique?

Alright, I am about to ask a question that makes me look like a boob. I do NOT have much experience with Vintage Scopes and mounts and do not have a clear understanding of terminology. My Malcomb...

The problem I am having is when I start a group at 100 yards, I put the first 3-4 in the center. Then the next 4 shots go 2" right and then start grouping about 4"clock about 4" out. I re-adjust back...

I bought a C-Sharps with a Malcomb Scope and I do not think it is holding adjustment. Is there a simple way to check it, or someplace that can?

I watched the video of how to use Citristrip and it took off several layers of paint. Do you think it would take more than one coat to remove the finish on a C-Z? He also put the item in a plastic...

I have a C-Z 457 MTR that shoots great. I have read that many people owning this gun have found nice wood when refinished. I believe they dip this gun in mud before they ship it. I cannot help but...

When I got started they recommended pouring very heavily soaped water through the powder measure. The idea was that when it dries it left a soapy wax film inside. I have tried graphite but it scares...

I wish you well from North Carolina. I am going in Thursday for rotator cup surgery.

I have a friend that wants to jump into local .22 Match competitions. I tried to stear him into something like a C-Z 457 bolt action, but he seems to want Burgara BXR carbon .22 semi auto. Has anyone...

I am just shooting local matches just for fun. I sometimes get some shots that I cannot figure out why. (I KNOW YOU GUYS NEVER HAVE THOSE.) I was hoping to have an excuse, but you are not giving me...

I am hearing a lot of shooters like "Bore Tech Rim Fire Blend" for cleaning. Does this product not deep clean the barrel as much as other products and therefore better for Match guns?

I got into .22 Match shooting about five months ago. I have a C-Z 457 MTR heavy barrel and shoot S-K Match .22 bullets. Match bullets have a heavy coating of Beeswax on the bullet. I have been told...
I have a friend that is loaning me a thermometer so I can check my lead. I am also going to try heating lead on the stove so I can gradually increase heat. I truly appreciate all the advice I am...
I tried it again today. I sprayed the mold with carburetor cleaner then washed with Dawn. I waited until the hotplate had fully heated the mold, then poured. Wrinkles. I then left the mold ON the...
I have used steel molds for years and never had a problem with heat retention. I have avoided aluminum molds up to now but now I have to use one. I have a four cavity Aluminum NOE mold for a.38 Cal....
Prior to your good suggestions I found that neither Saeco nor Lyman make that size resizing die either.
I have been having a Devil of a time getting the desired bullet to load for my C-Sharps .38/55. The manufacturers are not producing much of a choice lately. I am looking for a cast bullet about 255...
I never did check pressure. I put some toilet paper in the base of the cartridge on top of my charge of 9.0 Gr. Unique. Immediately I was advised by a couple of shooters that doing so could cause...
