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

Ok, I signed up and paid for.

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.

Hello, the factory Archer is a hammer. Mine has the trigger lock removed. Polished maximum trigger and how. Matching barrel weight (81g). A strong spring is in the way, a suitable one is ~ 2.5J 100m / s. Another very important thing is the adjustment of the shot, each barrel likes a different one, you have to look for it. This one likes H&N KugelnMatch 0.52g or QYS Training 0.50g (Chinese, but it's great). Lighter pellets do not fly well in it, heavier ones forgive mistakes :-). You're right the Walther LP53 barrel weight is too heavy. The archer cannot be squeezed, you have to let him shoot where he wants :-) and properly set the sights. Something like an artillery grip. My English is bad. If something is wrong, write and I will try to explain. Oh, the shooter is at the end in this game :-) The Archer's trigger is now 700g.
