    Finally found one - LP53

    Design and build is there but the OEM duel spring aspect was poor. Robbing power, and introducing unnecessary twang in irony to their thinking of 2 springs adding power. The HW30 spring is perfect in fit, and is one of the worlds best mainsprings in terms of Lasting quality. There is 2 short...

    Finally found one - LP53

    If you are Stateside and needing to do the work yourself. I have a new recommendation. My recommendation is it to go for the Vortex HW30 kit, chopping the spring to 17 coils, flattening one end and go with the guide used, dispensing with the spring sleeve, the 30 spring being already a perfect...

    Walther LP53K

    Yeah I understand fully. Trust me when I tell you the first cut with the Hacksaw I felt more than a sense of unease....a combination of Guts (some might say stupidity) I had no idea it might all go wrong during the machining but I put a number of things in place to reduce the risks. I was...

    Finally found one - LP53

    Interesting.....what sort of velocity are you getting from it.

    What pistol did you shoot today

    Most of the report of the P1 /45 is from the mechanics of the gun. If you think about it, there already is a long void, which is why the HW75 sounds a bit quieter than its competitors. With springers already quieter (in regard their sonic report) its possibly why you got little for your trouble...

    What pistol did you shoot today

    To think the original Beeman/HW plan at the outset of designing the 75 was that the void was there to facilitate silencer fitting. The statement from Beeman reg this no longer an option was the idea had been dropped. You can certainly see why this was the case. Sadly HW had sacrificed the...

    Other The IZH46M Achilles Heel

    It's an interesting comparison ...The Daisy 717/47/777 Despite a die cast build quality and its plastic bolt, these things have put in tireless performance lasting eons. Goes to prove that it's not just about solid steel materials but good design also...Yes die cast not the most wonderful...

    Other The IZH46M Achilles Heel

    I hear you reg the use of a Belt Linisher and did use one for a number of years but mine gave up the ghost a while back. Need to get another. It was still an easy Job. I used a decent Flat file and and a 1" width half round. The OEM part looked odd. One poster here mentions it being a...

    Other The IZH46M Achilles Heel

    I've made 2 of these in my time from 3mm steel plate, purchasing a piece of 3/4 x 3mm x 1 Mtr long (min order) Not for myself but for other high usage target shooters. Not difficult to craft by hand with a hacksaw and file. Yes working carefully but no great effort as 3mm thick plate is so easy...

    N/A Webley Hurricane vs Daisy 777

    For anyone wishing to tune their Tempest/Hurricane/Premier for a tad more power and accuracy..,I have a formula. It's tried and tested, based on more years than I care to remember, going from one set up to the next until I finally arrived at something which worked. The gun wants a slip ring in...

    N/A Webley Hurricane vs Daisy 777

    I liked your post. Very nice to see these set up like this. What about a smaller micro Reflex on that ramp cut down by a 1/3rd to 2 screws ...

    N/A Webley Hurricane vs Daisy 777

    I always remember trouncing all my Webleys with the Hurricane which ended up annoying me as I found it's more compact cousins more appealing, but it really did cut the group size in half.

    Other Webley Tempest

    The Premier Mk2 was the worst pistol ever made by Webley. Although in itself, still better than many pistols for having the same barrel over cylinder design as all the others. The issue was due to galling of the cocking stirrup of the cylinder, which was modified for when it turned into the...

    Other Webley Tempest

    I've had some success with giving rougher paint finishes a go over with Car body cutters like T cut. If that fails, after the light rub down and degrease, you can respray using Krylon satin black weapons paint. A new forend shroud is easy to get hold of, even the earlier Webley and more...

    N/A Webley Hurricane vs Daisy 777

    This will surprise many as the 777 was the most accurate of the Daisy group of 700 series, but even in its most basic 717 form, was known for winning many a pistol shoot (outside of true target shooting competitions) and a few sillouette shoots beside. However, it did NOT surprise me how well...

    Other Webley Tempest

    As with all Webley it's a bit of struggle to get anywhere beyond the various trigger tune options. This is due to the restriction of the transfer port travelling up from the cylinder and through 90 degrees and a combined length of 22mm. That's one long port and then having to pass through the...

    Other Webley Tempest

    They seem to have an appeal. The snub nose, compactness and well made aspects. I've been asked to tune this gun more than any other down the years

    HW/Weihrauch HW75 fiber optic sight

    I meant confirm from manufacturer and not a pic on here which could of been a modification by a tuning house or one off...potentially. MAG airguns had a batch in which arrived this way direct from the manufacturer. It must be a very latest spec change as they still have a one year old shop...

    N/A The other Webley

    It's a post war Senior 1950 to 58 ...sorry I cannot date it precisely down to the year...with the grooves around the grip later dropped to smooth for the last 2 years of production, probably putting it 1950 to 1956.. The finest built pistol of all time. I've had them up to 490 fps. The junior...
