10P Files Gone Missing?

Post by Gwhite »

I just tried to look up some info in the 10P Files (Potter & Pilkington’s Phantastic Phile of Precision Pellet Paper Punching Paraphenalia & Phacts). It looks like thy have re-formatted the links, but none of the ones I tried worked.

I hope it's just a temporary web upgrade issue. In theory, the 10P files are mirrored at the Potter firearms web site in Australia. I went there, and there's no obvious link to the files.

It would be a real shame if this info went away. It's probably all on the Internet Archive site, but that's not very easy to navigate.

This link works... at least it was, and now it is not, again.

Seems to work now (1:00 pm Eastern Daylight time), but some of the internal links are broken. For example, the diagram that goes with the IZH-46 trigger adjustment instructions is missing. It looks like the bulk of the info is back.

Thanks for all your work on rescuing this info. I've used it countless times over the years. In digging around, it's linked to by shooting web sites all over the globe. I also never heard back from Potter Firearms in Australia about where their copy vanished to.

No problem! Many things on the web seem to go missing after about 10 years. They are still there...but static...perhaps they simply need a refresh?

If there is something you are searching for, but find a broken link, try this-

Type- pilkguns.com: and the title of the link. If the data is still there, it will show up in the search. If it is not, nothing will show up.

For example, type pilkguns.com:OTFL

Many, (but not all) of the "On the Firing Line" articles will show up.

It took several other methods to find all of them. But the method listed here is easiest to use for most people.
