IZH-46M Mac1 Style
I have just ordered an IZH-46M Mac1 Style gun from the Mac1 airgun store. I have also ordered a Merit 3LS peep sight and mounting kit. I plan on updating this thread as a short diary of my experiences for anyone who’s thinking about getting this pistol.
The reason for ordering the Mac1 can be summed up best by Tim’s own webpage: http://www.mac1airgunstore.com/mac1_airgun/Izzy_46m.html
Mac1 replaces this chamber with Non-Magnetic and Non-Corroding Stainless Steel. (Tiny metal debris can collect in the factory airguns with regular steel chambers)
Better Power: Our chamber volume is slightly less, so each charge has slightly elevated pressure to give slightly better power.
2. We strip out the Russian Seals, and replace them with 90 durometer American seals that are harder and more durable. We have been doing this for 5 years since the first Izzy 46’s appeared. The Result: No Failures have occurred on any IZZY 46 Airgun Mac1 has upgraded. NADA
We do other good things too…..but let us keep some of our Trade Craft a Secret.
What you get is the most “Bullet Proof” 46m Pistol available. Period. We are always building into the Mac1 IZZY the ultimate accuracy, consistency and durability.

Best pistol I had owned to date.
nice that should be fun!
And since this thread is about Mac-1’s custom gun it seems fair to cross post a link from another thread on this forum… It shows pictures of Mac-1’s workshop….
I plan to shoot 10m air rifle targets (not pistol) with the peep sights as well as casual silhouette at 15-20 yards. The Talon SS with scope is too easy – even at 40 yards 🙂
More to come next week. I’ll try and post pictures.
I think you made a good choice. I have my fair share of 22xx’s and yes I can get more power out of them, but for the purposes you described you are going to love this pistol. Neither of mine came from Tim but that’s who will get them if/when they start acting up. One is open, the other carries a scope. Been thinking about selling one but I just can’t seem to do it.

Just received the gun an test fired about 70 rounds. Initial impression is “WOW”… the trigger is so crisp and clean it’s hard to describe. Compared to a polished Crosman 1377 it is dramatic. Shooting the older Crosman is like pulling a tractor – I thought the safety was on! The Izzy’s trigger is so natural you’ll find it hard to shoot anything else.
The Mac1 gun is great, it took only 15 rounds to sight in. The blade and notch sights are very good. I’ve ordered a rear peep and thinner notch post that should allow me to get scope level performance without the extra weight and parallax. (Future posts to the thread when I install them)
I also ordered Mac1’s “Crown Saver” to make the initial cleaning of the barrel preservatives easier.
