Palmer Pursuit Shop: Blazer (BZ2185)

[Gabriel]

what kind of efficiency does it have? Just curious as to how many shots you can get off of a 68(45. This guns might change my mind about a ripper cocker i was planning on...

And what is the difference (besides body) between the phoon and the blazer? Can you get an un-annoe'd blazer and anno it yourself?

Clamping Benefits:

Tighter tolerances

No barrel Back out

Cheaper to make (anyone with a lathe can turn a barrel down to fit a blazer)

Lighter

Allows for more options of barrels
Nearly seamless integration. The barrel hole and the chamber are drilled with one specially ground tool, thus being perfectly aligned.

The bolt also seals in the barrel and prevents firing the ball over a seam.

Muzikman, what are your thoughts on this "barrel-to-valve matching" theory?

My thought...people claims it works, so it just might. I don't really believe the idea behind it and so forth. But hey, it's just like everything else out there...if people think it works...it just might for them.

That being said, I don't think PPS is trying to cheat anyone or hype up the idea. I just think that they noticed that if you do certain things that it performs better. I'm of the mind set that even if physics says it's wrong and people can disprove it on paper, if it works in real life...then go with it. I mean, physics tells us that a bumble bee should not be able to fly...but we see them every day during the summer

what's this "bumble bee" you speak of?

[Brophog]

A bumble bee. BZZZ BZZZ....you know black and gold and stings you when you tick it off.

In that case though, its the physics that haven't been adapted to the bumble bee, not the other way around.

Jack --

what do you use to take your pictures? They are always so clean and crisp

[thei3ug]

Is your bolt anodized clear, or raw?

My older blazer had black anno, but maybe they're skipping on it because bolts get burned up no matter what...

Great find!

Of course. You think this is on a par with quantum mechanics? The basic principles of bumblebee flight, and insect flight generally, have been pretty well understood for many years. Somehow, though, the idea that bees "violate aerodynamic theory" got embedded in folklore.

[rkjunior303]

ah nice so you use a film camera then (or is that a digital SLR?) I have a Canon S400 Digital Elph -- It does the job quite well! I love messing around in Photoshop though.. Some people love playing games I would rather play in PS 7.0

[Jack & Coke]

The Canon 10D is a Digital SLR (click on links in my previous post to learn more...)

[Muzikman]

J&C,
Not to hijack the thread, but do you have any of your photos (besides your guns) on the internet? I'm just curious to look as I also have a 10D and love the thing...

Actually, for someone learning SLR's the Digital Rebel would serve you well. The same chips as the 10d, dumbed down some of the features. Not enough to really hamper most amateur photographers. plus, it can be had for 1k with a lens vs, 1250 to 1500 without a lens.

Ps, awesome Blazer!
