Airmatch Model 600

DESCRIPTION

1979

Plusses:

· No CO₂ or compressed air needed (Yippee!).

· Dry-fire mode available.

Minuses:

· That flimsy front sight is easily broken

· Blood blisters – usually not a problem after your second session with an Air Match 500/600: you learn to keep the fleshy part of the left hand out of the way when closing the action.

· No longer in production: if you need any parts…

Basic Cleaning:

Could not be simpler:

1. Fire a felt cleaning wad through the barrel after each shooting session.

2. Wipe outside of pistol with an oily rag, then wipe with a dry cloth.

Cleaning the breech/loading area:

Fluff and crud builds up in this area and its awkward to clean under the barrel protrusion:

1. isopropyl alcohol, cotton tips

2. pistol to dry-fire mode

3. open action fully

4. liberally apply isopropyl alcohol and clean/scrub area using cotton tips.

5. Blow dry with compressed air.

Lubrication:

Trigger Adjustment:

1. Over-travel

2. Trigger position

TROUBLESHOOTING THE AIR MATCH 600

Pressure Loss:

1. SECURE storage for the loaded pistol, chronograph

2. Load and chronograph a shot

3. Load and place loaded pistol in SECURE storage for 10-12 hours

4. After 10 to 12 hours, chronograph shot

5. If ‘stored’ shot is within 10% of the ‘fresh’ shot, you will have no problem with pressure loss during a competition. If the difference is more than 20%, the pistol needs servicing.
