Re: What Was Your First Air Pistol?
A thread from the grave but, whaddahell, I'll bite. First gun? A Gat - what else? I think mine was a factory accurised one as it could repeatedly hit an empty corn flakes box at 4-5 yards. Didn't penetrate both sides with darts though. I moved on/sideways with an SP50 which was followed with a G10 w...

Re: Giss Giss, Bang Bang.
Not something I wanted to see. O6 4 s.jpg Again, oh dear... I imagine that the tortured plastic squeak I'm hearing on cocking is from some crumbs off the seal caught between the piston and pinion teeth meaning that a complete strip will be required. I'm also under the impression that there's suppose...

Re: Giss Giss, Bang Bang.
My previously mentioned clubmate Nick finally came round to the idea of parting with his Original 6 and now it's in my hands. O6 1 s.jpg O6 3 s.jpg After getting first a 6M and then a 6G, I never really considered getting one of these as I thought, with that large moulded grip, it looked a bit BSA S...

Re: 100 years of air pistols video part 1 of4
Saw this when you first posted it on YouTube and it's definitely worth another viewing.
Any word on when part two will come out?

Re: Hammerli 480 K2
Thanks Hammer - there's so little info about these pistols out there that anything is welcome. It strikes me too as a very fine pistol, there's definitely an air of quality about it and the K2 model probably deserved more widespread attention that it received. I haven't had the chance to do much sho...

Re: Hammerli 480 K2
140 views and no replies? Guess that means no one has any experience of this slightly obscure pistol. A similar request on the Target Talk forum (a much bigger membership pool to draw from) could only come up with three views on this gun, all of them generally positive but mindful of the age and tot...

Hammerli 480 K2
My last visit to GARC was a bit of a classic 10m pistol-fest. 6 10m pistols small.jpg The third gun down is a Hammerli 480 K2, a lesser spotted PCP. I've got first refusal on it in a swap with a rifle I never use. Thing is, there's precious little information out there about such a pistol. I've read...

Re: Giss Giss, Bang Bang.
Clubmate Nick took his 6 along for a play. Gisses small.jpg Rebuilt from a bag of bits, it's lacking sights but is in great condition and shoots as it should. I'll be twisting his arm to sell and, if he does, I'd graft a rail on for either a pistol scope or red dot to get round the unobtainable miss...

Giss Giss, Bang Bang.
Not really much point to this post other than to show off my latest acquisition and confirm something that we all know - that classic air pistols are addictive and one is never enough. I got this in a swap for a CP1 CO2 pistol from a nice chap on AGF who couldn't get on with open sights any more. 6G...

Hi everyone. Brimfire from Aberdeen signing up and reporting for duty. I'm a member Grampian Air Rifle Club (GARC) and various AG forums. My AG collection isn't huge but covers some ground from a 1919 BSA Standard to an AA S400F with all sorts in between. I lean more towards pistols these days, espe...
