The Matchguns business started by Cesare Morini is closed for good.
There is a new owner (sole proprietor) to the business name and brand. It will be a long while before the new company can start producing firearms. I will keep you posted.

Re: MG4 double fire
We recently came across a new MG4 ACP with double fire issue. The ammo we used was custom loaded. Jon did a thorough adjustment on all the trigger setting screws. The pistol still fired two shots consecutively sometimes. After Jon took a careful look inside the pistol frame, he saw the front bottom ...

Re: Matchguns MG2 & MG2E Exploded Drawings
Hi Bob,
The exploded drawing of the new MG2 EVO is almost the same as the older MG2. If the your friend's MG2 is from the early to mid 2010s, the factory may still have the parts needed for the conversion.

MG2 & MG2E weights
Here are the approximate weight break down. Please keep in mind that the grip weight varies a little due to size, whether it is off-set for cross eye shooting, and wood density variation.

MG2, SP, & GSP Comparison
I have shot GSP and Pardinni SP (New) extensively. Now MG2 is my primary target pistol. I like them all for different reasons. Here is a short description of MG2. • It has very good balance and not nose heavy. May be this is why it is also forgiving. • Its grip is thinner and a little longer than Pa...

Re: Hammerli 150 vs 162 - opinions?
I have shot Hammerli 160 and Matchguns MG5.
160 tends to be a little nose heavy even after removing the plastic housing under the barrel.
MG5 is lighter and very adjustable. It also has a very good balance.

Matchguns MG2 and MG2R
I like to get some advices on MG2 and MG2R.
To those who have shot MG2 and MG2R, which would you recommend for Standard Pistol event? Does the MG2R have an advantage over the MG2 when shooting Rapid Fire series in Standard Pistol event?
Thank you for your feedbacks.

Its serial number is 711872.
It has small right hand grip with gold color compressed air cylinder.

The aluminum thread on the cylinder was stripped off. It looked like a spring. So it is better to get it r...
