Re: Bi-metal ammo

Does the bi-metal ammo like Wolf really damage you gun? I read a study that showed the rifling penetrating the copper coating and digging into the steel (iron) jacket. This seems that it would wear the rifling prematurely. No, it's fine. The bbl is properly hardened steel. The steel jacket on bi-me...

Re: new owner of a P64

Does anybody have or know a good CCW holster for the CZ82?

Yes, the XDs are from Croatia - but they have gone soft and become Capitalists! ;-)

Re: RWS brass cased ammo

Target Sports USA has this on sale for $13.49 a box OR $269.80 a 1000 round case with free shipping. I have never seen this mak ammo anywhere and do not know anything about it, but for brass cased ammo the 1000 round case deal looks good. I have shot 9mm RWS and the quality seemed excellent. From T...

Re: new owner of a P64

Glad to hear your CZ-82 and P-64 worked out. The Recoil on the P-64 as in most smaller blow-back operated pistols is a trade off with the size. I.E.: there is less distance for the slide to travel to absorb the recoil. As I said before some of us switch the recoil springs and it helps. Also if you ...

Re: who here is an AK?

I am actually familiar with that model and it has a number of clever upgrades from the original design (bolt open, safety lever). Would love to own one eventually!

Re: new owner of a P64

Back from the range. It was interesting! Both guns ran fine, with the CZ82 having one stovepipe. One mag didn't actuate the slide open function and when I compared the 2 mags I found that the follower was in backwards on that one. Popped the mag open changed it and the slide open worked and no more ...

Re: new owner of a P64

Thank you again, took it apart again and sure enough, it was actually easy to fix with the tip you gave me. The tighter end is now on the barrel and the looser side points toward the muzzle.

Re: new owner of a P64

Thanks you very kindly for your help, I will take it apart again and check - not that it's very hard to field strip, right?

Re: new owner of a P64

P.S.: The recoil spring looks the same on both sides, does it matter which side you put in first? Sorry if that is a dumb question. Welcome. The recoil spring should be slightly wider on one side. The wider end goes forward. Sometimes it's hard to tell but when you put it on the barrel you'll notic...

new owner of a P64

:hi: :hi: :hi: Figures, I guess, or why would I be here? ;-) I guess I just liked the looks of this little sleak beauty. And the price. I was looking for an extra backup carry gun and just something to collect. I actually purchased mine together with a CZ82 (if you guys know your P64s I am sure that...
