Pay no attention to Democratic voters.

I had a Victor. Excellent pistol. At the time, I was playing with different pistols. I should have kept it.

I, too, use a mid-80s M41 and was having some of the same issues. It wasn't until the extractor fell off that I realized it had been cracked for some time. A new extractor cured most of the issues, but I was still getting the misfires. It was (is) the ammo, both plastic case and blue box. Just FYI, ...

No. Pilk sold them to someone else (or more than one). I don't know who bought them and neither does Buck.
I have the feeling that they parted not too cordially, but I really don't know.

Thanks but it seems that Pilk only works on Styer air guns

At one time Pilk had taken in a large amount of FWB 65 and was refurbishing and selling them.

Buck told me Pilk had sold all his airgun parts (slipped my mind). Soooo, being the US Steyr distributor....

Try Pilk.

A small candle (votive?) will smoke the sights very black, very cheap.

"Guess I could switch to RWS R10 but they are slightly lighter at 7gr vs H&N 7.56gr, I've no idea if it makes any noticeable difference." You DO know that H&N puts their most accurate pellets in the Rifle (heavy) tin, and leftovers in the Pistol tin. (According to THEM.) You really...

Shoot 'em 'til they're gone. Switch to RWS Basic.

Rio Salado is no time saver for you and is not the "real deal" as PRGC (where I was on the Board of Directors).

I have forwarded this to a couple of guys I shot with from Tucson. Hopefully, they will respond to you.

"I am looking at purchasing my first pistol for the 10 meter air pistol competitions." Looking for love in all the wrong places. You may THINK that all the new guns will offer you some advantage. It just ain't so. For the price of a new gun, you could buy several older models (FWB 65, CO2,...

I guess you may have to switch over to the devastating accuracy and low price of RWS Basic. Luckily, they're available in 500 tins from ISS in Texas.

IF you phone, you may be able to get the pellets of your hearts desire.

My take on this is: buy a good used SSP. Forget all the additional expense of SCUBA etc., the aggravation of outdated cylinders, annoying inspections.
Most repairs are an O-ring.

Sure, I have PCPs. That's why I'm telling you to buy a SSP. Can't find one? Boo hoo.

These guys have never gotten over Annie Oakley shriveling their masculinity.

For a quick and dirty (don't we all love those), just wrap some solder around the barrel. Tape if necessary. You can get EXACTLY the weight you need.

You got it in one!

The magic word, though, is CALL!

At one time, he also had an enormous pile of grips.
But ya gotta CALL!

Years ago, I took one at the Olympic Training Center. Contact them.

It was particularly memorable because the guy in the next room snored so
loudly the wall rattled. I hope he got treatment.

New toys are always fun! If the FWB 2 works for you, you might want to get yourself one. It will not handicap you in any way, and you'll have lots of dollar bill "stuffers" for the topless joint left over. Married? It will work on "herself" as well.

Do a TT search. (Upper right corner of this page.)
