I built a couple of self powered solar trackers for small panels. At Lat50N a single panel tracker gave an increase of about 20% efficiency over a fixed panel. A dual axis tracker only gave a further...

Thank you chaps - I tried Midwest Guns and received a reply next day - Unfortunately couldn't help.
So - a few practice runs in the workshop, and can now turn out a reasonable spring. I tried it...

I hope you knowledgeable guys will be able to help. I have had my Winchester 94AE .357 for many years and really like it. However, over the years I have broken the ejector once or twice but...

Certainly very well made and greatly undervalued here in the UK - I've seen two Mk2 Internationals for sale for less than $50 each this week.
Here's my Mk5 I use for short range benchrest:...

To get the best out of any rimfire, yes, you're right, the ammo is the key. I was shooting a BSA 12/15 in weekly prone matches during the '60's against a few Mk2 internationals, the occasional...

Really excellent work - I find these really old big bore airguns are fascinating. The Giradoni and ball reservoir type air rifles of the 1780's were a remarkable achievement considering the tools and...

I recently acquired an rather sad old BSA International MK 5 with no sights, however, as I wanted it for a bench gun I wasn't really worried. After giving it a good clean and check over, I made a...

Ooooh what a find. That is an ultra rare scale - One offered on a well know auction sight a few years ago for $1,000.
It's thought that as few as 50 of these scales were ever sold.
Here's my...

It could certainly be done for about a tenth of the cost. :)

Sounds feasible, although this is more or less what the Prometheus does, dumps a weighed charge directly into the case.

Just depends on what sort of pistol shooting you are doing and how seriously you take it.

Agree, the B96 is fun to shoot, not quite got the trigger of the Morini or Walther but still performs well. As I don't shoot it in competition now I'm thinking of fitting a shoulder stock and...

Ahh - My homemade shooting specs.. I couldn't justify a set of Champion shooting specs at £380 so I designed and made my own for 10th the cost. They are fully adjustable 3D printed with 3mm carbon...

Depends on what quality you are looking for. I have a Morini 162ei with electronic trigger - Swiss made, beautiful Olympic quality match pistol. A Walther CP-2, 1990's era match pistol. A Brno B96 -...

Excellent air rifle - I have a Steyr LG100 with the same stock configuration as your Steyr.
Forum: AirGuns
As said above, marvelous technology, but I too would be concerned if planning to keep it for the long term. I have several PCP's of various types including a nice Morini 162ei match pistol with an...

That could well be, although many reloaders on mainland Europe use regular RCBS scales marked in Grams.

Unfortunately the notches on your metric 502 won't match up with grains, however, I do have two suggestions. 1) The knife edge and agate bearings, the pan and pan hanger, pan stirrup, the body and...

What an excellent job - Not just the actually "making", but the thought and planning that goes with it. Availability and cost of materials and a design that can be made with the machinery available...

I've not tried Ballistol as a pellet lubricant although I have tried others - I'll give it a try.
I agree about the cleaning. Something i never really bothered about with the airguns until I started...

The first group was certainly the best of that bunch - it measures out at about .65moa C/C. I'm hoping I'll find something a little better, 25yd air benchrest is quite unforgiving.
Interesting to...

I've just picked up an HW110 (PCP) and entered in a local air benchrest league, so thought I had better get some pellet testing done. I have about 20 different types of good quality pellets to try,...

I've got a small ex-college Colchester bantam lathe and also have a milling attachment for it - all I can say is, if the chips are down and you really, really need to mill a small part, it will work,...
