Does anyone have a half decent pistol available that I can purchase to participate in the 6yd pistol shoot challenge? Must be .177 cal and not keen on pump action pneumatic style.

I was very tempted by that! Very nice target pistol. Recoilless, via dual opposing pistons. Hoping you bought it??? If you did, please don’t shoot it too much until it’s had a reseal - looks in original condition so likely hasn’t been resealed - the pistons need fairly exact tolerances in order to avoid wear and damage to the pistons and gears inside. ------------- https://www.instagram.com/js_airguns/" rel="nofollow - J S Airguns Air Arms TX200('s) Theoben Sirocco HW77 FWB 300s Webley Patriot One or two others...

That's weird, I didn't see it and I've been searching intensely for a couple of days! It looks to have closed without selling, no mention of bids or a winner. ------------- Daystate Red Wolf .22 FX Dreamline .22 Diana Outlaw .22 AA S410 .22 HW98 .177 HW30 .177 Diana 340 E-Tec .177 FWB Sport 124 .177 Gamo 900 .22 Baikal IJ-22 .177 Crosman 2240 Custom .22 Brocock GP .22 |

Yeah, I did see that. I figure someone made direct contact and a deal was done outside of TM. I'm now planning on making contact with Alliance Hobby to check the prospects of getting a .177 barrel and and a 2240 handle frame into the country successfully. I have the remnants of a brand new 2240 and a 2250 both of which I converted to PCPs. I really only need the barrel, breach and a handle frame plus a few other minor bits to make up a complete CO2 pistol. ------------- Daystate Red Wolf .22 FX Dreamline .22 Diana Outlaw .22 AA S410 .22 HW98 .177 HW30 .177 Diana 340 E-Tec .177 FWB Sport 124 .177 Gamo 900 .22 Baikal IJ-22 .177 Crosman 2240 Custom .22 Brocock GP .22 |

Bugger, sometimes happens if someone does buy now - auction ends but no hint of who won’t. I’ve heard alliance is touch and go whether they’ll reply to you…. But I’m not sure where you’d get parts from these days as options are limited. I wouldn’t mind a .177 Lothar walther barrelled Crosman. Would be a pricey upgrade though ------------- https://www.instagram.com/js_airguns/" rel="nofollow - J S Airguns Air Arms TX200('s) Theoben Sirocco HW77 FWB 300s Webley Patriot One or two others...

Hi. I've had great service from JG airguns in the States. Fast and efficient but the mailing cost hurts. I've got a surplus 2240 barrel with blueing removed, rifling looks good, plus plastic breaches and one piece bolts, front and rear sights and plenty of wooden grips. Let me know if anything is useful. Sorry, no frames. Tonycee ------------- tonycee |

I have plenty of parts from the two donor units plus several new steel breaches and .22 bare rifle barrels that I purchased from Youngs about a year or so ago. However, if I can get exactly what I need in .177 it'll save me a lot of buggerising around machining and adapting stuff to fit. I've emailed Alliance and I'll follow up with JG Airguns as well. ------------- Daystate Red Wolf .22 FX Dreamline .22 Diana Outlaw .22 AA S410 .22 HW98 .177 HW30 .177 Diana 340 E-Tec .177 FWB Sport 124 .177 Gamo 900 .22 Baikal IJ-22 .177 Crosman 2240 Custom .22 Brocock GP .22 |

This pistol is back up for sale by the guy who bought it! $1 reserve so keep an eye on it. it will need a reseal but worth it - it would be a very capable pistol - designed for high level competition. recoilless spring piston, target grip etc. ------------- https://www.instagram.com/js_airguns/" rel="nofollow - J S Airguns Air Arms TX200('s) Theoben Sirocco HW77 FWB 300s Webley Patriot One or two others...

There's also a couple of Daisy 717 on trademe. I haven't ever fired a proper target pistol, but my Daisy is a pleasure to shoot, lovely trigger and the cocking arm is effortless to cock. Of course no powerhouse. |

Thanks Pauly and JS for the suggestions. I ended up buying a Feinwerbauh Model 65 that was also listed recently. It was more expensive than I had in mind but my custom 2250 PCP performs so well I'm no longer using the Brocock GP - so It's now up for sale. The FWB will replace it and gives me an alternative flavour of pistol shooting. It does need seals replaced though as it's been a collector's item, so I have a kit on the way from the US. Jono, I've been shooting the 124 Sport lately after having drilled and staked the stock with epoxy and threaded steel rod. What an amazing gun it is! The accuracy is simply outstanding but it has been let down a bit by the trigger. I'd fitted the alloy one but the adjuster wasn't doing anything and on disassembly I found that the thread in the alloy was stripped. I refitted the original plastic trigger and carried out a simple mod to the intermediate sear and this has completely transformed it - so I'm very much looking forward to using it at our upcoming club sub-12ftlb competition this coming weekend. Paul, if I hadn't already purchased the FWB I would have grabbed one of those Daisy's. They're exactly what I was looking for! Always the way..... ------------- Daystate Red Wolf .22 FX Dreamline .22 Diana Outlaw .22 AA S410 .22 HW98 .177 HW30 .177 Diana 340 E-Tec .177 FWB Sport 124 .177 Gamo 900 .22 Baikal IJ-22 .177 Crosman 2240 Custom .22 Brocock GP .22 |

the 65 is a great gun, reseal is a great idea. That one on trademe looked in great condition! rare to be beeman branded too. Glad to hear the 124 is running nicely - they're a great gun and FWB barrels are always good. The rekord trigger on the HW's is probably the reason the FWB may have suffered. ------------- https://www.instagram.com/js_airguns/" rel="nofollow - J S Airguns Air Arms TX200('s) Theoben Sirocco HW77 FWB 300s Webley Patriot One or two others...

Yes the Rekord trigger is brilliant as is the Diana T06 (IMHO), different construction but potentially equal outcome. The T06 does take a little more to setup though. ------------- Daystate Red Wolf .22 FX Dreamline .22 Diana Outlaw .22 AA S410 .22 HW98 .177 HW30 .177 Diana 340 E-Tec .177 FWB Sport 124 .177 Gamo 900 .22 Baikal IJ-22 .177 Crosman 2240 Custom .22 Brocock GP .22 |
