    This is one for the target shooters

    Does anyone know how to stop the pistol grip twisting on the Walther KK200?

    It's on as tight as it will go without shearing either the bolt or the alan key, yet it still twists.....

    Can't really be done by tightening with the allen key, OP, you have to instead find a position where your trigger arm puts no torsion on the pistol grip. Think of it not as a problem that the grip twists, but a diagnostic that shows when your elbow isn't coming down to the same spot consistently (*poke, poke*).

    Plus, with the reports of Walther stocks breaking at the rails because of the stock being sintered rather than milled, you really don't want to be cranking that allen key as hard as you can - you're just putting the weakest part of the stock under serious stress and risking the pistol grip snapping off in your hand. I've seen it happen, and right before a competition too.

    Meanwhile, back on topic, my rifles. Just catalog photos right now, I've no real decent shots of them at the moment.

    Hmm. Have a few decent photos of the air rifle now at least, might as well post them up:

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 184 ✭✭Riggser


    All looks very expensive


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,038 ✭✭✭✭Sparks


    The rifle's about €1600, the rest of the gear maybe €5-600 or so. But that's for what was at the time top of the line gear and custom made shooting clothing. If I knew then what I know now... well, actually, I'd have gotten the same rifle, but I'd have gotten a cheaper jacket and trousers :D And a lot of this stuff you pick up over a period of several years. You know the story yourself Riggser.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,038 ✭✭✭✭Sparks


    Oh, and the mascot was free, as he was a gift from some friends with rather odd senses of humour :D

    DSCF2617blog.JPG

    I suppose I'll have to retire him except for the grudge matches really (I mean, what would any parent think when bringing a junior to the range? :eek: ), but I *had* to see the reaction in Bisley to having him sitting at my firing point :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 801 ✭✭✭jaycee


    A bear in bondage :eek:... not very PC ..
    All it's missing is a pair of furry handcuffs and you'd have the lot from channel 4 and the "Pres" girls bleating on about torture devices..

    At least he isn't wearing cammo...:rolleyes:

    Ha! He's a Bad Taste Bear JC, and is, believe it or not, one of the tamer ones. Like I said, my friends have rather odd senses of humour. Mind you, it was funny to watch reactions to seeing the mascot for the first time :D

    I don't think he's going to be going to any more matches after the Colours Les :D

    ps. I wouldn't follow that link while at work if I were you...

    Maglite, you have a valid point. I suppose I have a bayonet on a shotgun for the same reason I have a bayonet on this.....because it's possible, yet utterly pointless.

    What gets me is, the Czech police use the pistol with the bayonet. Do you think before they bust a drug house the sgt. says "allright men, affix bayonets, we're going in"?

    Riggser, if it is permissable for me to bring the 57 into Ireland then yes, but I don't know if they will let me bring it's partner.....

    guns2128.jpg

    Rovi, it's ok. When I am sad I strike up the fireplace, sit on the bear rug, and curl up to this, and all of a sudden I feel better....

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,843 ✭✭✭Clare gunner


    A bayonet on a shotgun might have some use if you were wild boar hunting.
    A bayonet on a pistol,unless you are expecting some trench warefare soon,it is very silly.
    Sorry to say the lasers wont make it here and the two Bushmasters will proably fall under the "idonlikedelookodat" Irish gun law.
    Ditto the Bretta Storm,the Kel Tec,The FN P90.
    What do you want to come over here for,and lose all those goodies????
