I purchased a 78g brand new in the early 70's and still own it. The adjustable trigger versions of these air pistols are incredible. These guns were made to look like S&W's model 41 22 rimfire target pistol (but they actually mimic more closely the model 46 target pistol with more matted finish...

I always shoot Lee 200 grain SWC, cast from old school wheel weights in my Ruger Old Army. I bump the base of the bullets into a .446" sizing die until they will start into the cylinder, and load with 35 grains of powder and a lubed felt wad. The bullets seat easily, and the gun is super...

I intended to buy a diablo as soon as I saw one; but after researching them I found out they tend to shoot in the six hundreds Foot per second which would be fun with ball but less so with shot (IMO).

It is a reproduction of the military 1903. I have no idea which version. I personally would prefer one with a peep sight and pistol grip C stock, but with milled parts; my old eyes don't work well with "open" sights.

The one with an open sight...not the peep. I saw it on an add they ran on youtube; could not find it on their website.

Thanks guys! One more question; since these guns are based on the "70 series", does that mean that they have finger type barrel bushings?

both .45 caliber. I have seen them on sale sometimes for what seems like a very good price, $350. Any feedback or comments about these models would be appreciated. Thanks!

I purchased a Norinco ATD in the '90's on sale at Service Merchandise for $100. It shoots 10 shot 50 yard groups of about an inch with low cost ammo. I installed a Weaver scope base backwards, and mounted a 1.5X, 3/4" tube pistol scope "scout" style. Some of these rifles came with a padded...

Sir, In the 1939 movie "Stagecoach", John Wayne used a large loop model 92 "trapper". http://www.imfdb.org/images/thumb/2/29/Stagecoach-rifle3.jpg/450px-Stagecoach-rifle3.jpg

That is a beautiful rifle. Does it have a rear sight?

I never see them mentioned on here. Are they in general "liked"? I purchased one back in the 90's for a pretty low price ($180), and although I think it's kinda ugly, it is very reliable. Comments, please?

Herter's also used to sell all plastic shotgun hulls.

I'm a fan of Ross Seyfried, winner of the 1981 IPSC Handgun World Shoot, former African guide, a friend of Elmer Keith, and gun writer. He calls "controlled trigger manipulation" stroking the trigger.
