    Drop safe Star bm-9?

    My recollection is that most BMs do not have inertial firing pins. So, if the pin protrudes past the breech face when the hammer is down it is not drop safe.

    5-Screw K-22 Masterpiece

    PzGren--Try Federal ammo. I find it extracts much better/longer in my older Smiths. Not sure if brass is a hair smaller, thicker, or ????

    Oh NO! not the infamous idiot scratch.

    If it's stainless, and not too deep, you may be able to use some Scotchbrite of the proper grit and blend it in. Did one of mine and you can't tell it ever happened.

    Source for Crosman Mark II Co2 oring seal

    I suggest www.mac1airgunshop.com. One of the best in the business and will provide seals and orings of the proper durometer [hardness].

    SW 617 "light strikes" - didn't expect this

    My experience with my 617 and several other older S&W .22 revolvers with tight chambers is to use Federal brand ammo. It seems a hair smaller and extracts easier and without getting stuck after a few shots.

    Crosman Pellgun Oil substitute ?

    I remember reading about some speculating Mac 1 Secret Sauce is repackaged compressor oil. There is no charge for this wonderful information.

    Squib. Aluminum rod or gunsmith?

    I had a used toilet flush handle with a brass rod attached and repurposed it by cutting both ends flat. It's long enough for my pistol barrels.

    Help with Vintage Smith & Wesson 78G CO2 Pistole

    Buy a seal kit for a few bucks and do it yourself. It's not hard. It's been a while since I did a couple and I think There are some instructions available on Google. Also parts diagrams.

    A surprised new owner of a Kimber Micro-9.

    Yes and was told by some lady in customer service not to expect it to perform as +1 and that it was not advertised as such. I thought that was BS and still do. It's the first semi-auto I have ever owned with this problem. Feed ramp has been polished and it still won't feed 2nd round [when loaded...

    A surprised new owner of a Kimber Micro-9.

    Have you tried loading the mags/chamber +1, and if so, how is reliability? Mine is very reliable unless I load +1 and then the 2nd round frequently jams nose down against the loading ramp. This happens with 7 and 8 round mags using round nose ammo. I never see any ads claiming +1 capability for...

    2020 Python or What?

    The "documentation" I can supply is this: Much research on Google about the old and new Pythons and about the inner workings and learned polishing/stoning, etc. is best left alone on pretty much all Colt revolvers. Specific to the New Python: The only parts available are grips and front sights...

    2020 Python or What?

    I own a 686 Plus Pro [5 inch slabside barrel] and a New Python 4 1/4 inch which I bought a couple weeks ago. Everything considered, the 686 is the way to go. I say this because of several things. Both are good looking in different ways. As far as fit and finish, it's nearly a tie. I don't think...

    Slingshot that slide.

    Bravo--For some reason I'm thinking GSG added a steel pin at the rear of the slide stop opening [maybe just the later production models] to prevent excessive wear. Am I wrong?

    Kimber Micro 9 first impressions

    Mine is 100% reliable unless loaded +1 in the chamber [total of 8 rounds]. Then sometimes after the round in the chamber is fired the next round [top round in a 7 round mag.] will nosedive into the feed ramp. I have the same experience using 8 round mags loaded 8+1. I haven't kept accurate...

    Bug-A-Salt: The most fun I've had all week!

    I use mine outside. It is truly some of the best redneck entertainment to be had. Nailing a big, fat fly gives a feeling of satisfaction that is hard to describe. It is likely to become a future family heirloom!!! :D

    Silicone Valve Maintenance Cartridges?

    Like John says--a drop of oil on the cartridge tip will provide sufficient lube to the internal seals. It's pretty common knowledge in the co2 community that 20 weight [30 is ok]NON DETERGENT motor oil is just fine and much cheaper than Pellgun oil. One guy, who is well thought of, and does...

    background check mess up?

    Why be a jerk? If you are going to be in the area within a few days just stop in and help them out. Like one poster said--YOU signed it as being true. If you can't be there offer them the opportunity to send an employee to your home. Remember all this if you ever screw up and need some help to...
