Thanks! It was 18 feet (6 yrds) standing two handed inside the house as it was too bitterly cold to go outside to the barn that day...
Then I decided to compensate it...lol

Thanks Viper! That's outstanding grouping from a BB replica. My Springfield Mil-Spec (same basic gun) is pretty accurate, but so far hasn't been quite that tight. Nor have any of my other replica airguns.

I like some if them: western 6-shooter, M1A1 full auto, MP40 Full Auto, Luger blow-back, Walther, and a couple more. I just got the SW29 with 8 3/8 barrel revolver. I also just received the Winchester Lever Action replica, neat action. Very realistic. My son had just bought a 6" M29 (real powder burner .44) and when I showed him my new replica he was taken aback! I had a couple of the vintage replicas (revolvers) but I didn't like them as much so I sold them.

Amazing groups. I never believed replicas can be that accurate.I guess, I need to start looking at them with different eyes.

I have one a Webley also I needed it for our Tank game (British commander). I did have to adjust the cylinder release spring, every time I would pull it out of the holster it would release the cylinder. A little persuasion and it works fine.

Here's what I use my M1A1 and MP-40 for... The video's are test vids one is in slow motion (25%): For our game played in a big backyard. The map is a grid map of the back yard taken from a satelite every square is 20' X 20'. makes ranging easy.

As a future activity I think I may go after Automatic pistols, I know I really enjoy automatic rifles (historical of course).

No; this is a game with rules anything that burns or explodes in the back yard is out of the question too much chance of fire. Although we did at one time plant a small explosive device (small firecracker) in destroyed tanks. the days of youth. Besides we reuse parts of the tanks to make new ones like the tank cannon. front plates, sprocket drives and treads.

Ditto on the Schimel! They shoot more like a .22 short than an airgun, very impressive.
I also have two of those and found that McMaster has cup seals that can actually be made to fit these. I reworked them for easier disassembly/reassembly to minimize the danger of breaking anything ... they can be delicate as you say.

Smith & Wesson G78 .... the CO2 copy of the Smith & Wesson Model 41.
I have both the real Model 41 (.22LR) and the G78 air gun (.22 pellet).
I don't get out to the range as often as I'd like so I got the G78, which I can use in the basement.
It handles just like the 41, so much so that I can justify it as a viable alternative to stay in practice.

I actually like my Tangfolio 1911, I use it to practice quick draw and double tap and I find it fairly accurate at 15 yards.
I have 3 magazines so I only load 10 rounds and rotate, that way they never really get cold.
I find this to be the most fun I have with airguns.

Ahh yes, replica’s.. I had a mild collecting addiction regarding those things. Mostly GBBs, to stay as close as possible to the real deal.
That was good fun!
