    I have added a .22 class for the 6 yard MPL Air Pistol shooters to have some fun together.

    At the moment, the .22 class has twice as many entries (2) as the .177 class (1) - now that is a real turn-up for the books!

    What we need is a few more spring powered air pistol shooters to dust off their pistols and have a go (.177 or .22) at 6 yards.

    Your entries for the next MPL postal competition can be checked here:

    https://www.airgunbbs.com/showthread...petition-Rules

    I put them under the Rules this time as it seemed logical to be able to view them on the same page as the "Rules " and "How to Enter", so all the MPL reference is together on the same page

    Your .22 Air Pistol entry is "locked and loaded" Paul, many thanks for your entry fee!

    Yes - we need some more 6 yard air pistol entries from anyone that has a .177 air pistol.......but we would also be happy to see some more entries from anyone who has a .22 spring powered air pistol too!

    I am going to have a go at shooting in the 6 yard MPL Air Pistol Competition with my HW70 - it was the first brand new air pistol that I ever bought back in the 1969/70 sort of time period.

    As a target pistol I can remember why I did a px with it against a new Original Model 6 all those years ago!

    It has a very slippery grip that is not easy to hold and it is very front heavy - but having got it back after being separated from it for all those years I am going to give it a go - so I thought I had better try some pellet testing tonight.

    I still have an unopened white tin of those Eley Match pellets that we used to be able to buy back in the 1970's (I think they were made by H&N but re-labeled by Eley?), but I also have an orange plastic "tin" of the original Hobby pellets too.

    It seems strange that airgun pellets were packed in "plastic tins" but that is how the budget Hobby pellets were packed back then, so if I can get a half decent grouping with them it would seem appropriate to try to use them with this little air pistol from the same time period

    Hi marboc

    That link looks like you are getting some very impressive results with your Predom. I like your barrel weight too.

    I still have some LP53, but no longer have any of the optional Walther barrel weights. They were quite heavy, but I can see how they can improve and steady the pistol for accurate target work.

    Have you done anything else to improve your pistol?

    Bob.
