Re: Morini 200 barrel weights.

I had the same problem with installation. Comments first, I personally had no interest in placing water, soapy or not, near blued steel. I agree with the weight placement and suggest installing them to the back, away from the front sight until you are ready for the added mass. Once you place the wei...

Re: Morini 200EI doesn't want to work anymore

OK. I believe that a balance between stage 1 and 2 is important to keep the electronics happy. I added extra weight to stage 1 and backed off weight on stage 2. That caused my failure. Try adding more stage 2 weight and see if the electronics get happy again. Then try to work out an acceptable balan...

Re: Pellet availability

Hi Doug, Neal orders directly from the manufacturer or European vendors. I’m just curious about the larger shooting suppliers running out around the same time. Thanks for the response.

Pellet availability

I have noticed that Pyramid Air and Champion's Choice are out of stock for RWS Meisterkugeln and R10 (heavy and light). Pyramid has been out for some time. Does anyone have any insight as to what is going on?

Thanks, Steve

Re: Morini 200EI doesn't want to work anymore

I guess the question is: Did you make changes to the trigger before the problem started? I had similar problems when I adjusted the trigger to have a very light stage 2. The electronics are sensitive to going significantly out of factory settings, unlike a mechanical trigger. So... did you change yo...

Re: "New" FWB 103

Hi Nick, You have a really nice FWB. I am a little late to the party... I'm one of the "guys from Tucson". I'm glad the grip you have fits your hand. If you decide on getting a medium size I recommend contacting Neal Stepp. His web site is: iss-internationalshootersservice.com His phone nu...

Re: Frozen trigger adj screws (FWB 65)

This may be a little late but it may help those who need it. A Junior that I was coaching (20 years ago) had a frozen trigger adjustment screw on an Izzy. My gunsmith placed the gun on a mat, supported the trigger from underneath so it wouldn't move or be torqued when the screw was pushed down. He w...

Re: beware ISS

I purchased a Morini grip from Neal early this year. He declined to take payment until I had inspected it and approved the size and fit on my pistol. Delivery was prompt and service was friendly and professional.

I'm guessing that there is more to this story than has been communicated.

Vince, you requested guidance from experienced and successful competitors yet you make excuses instead of accepting the good advice.

Vince, all previous comments are valid. To help you understand, a very close friend has no home AP range. He just dryfires with his AP & FP (a LOT). He shoots 550 - 560 AP scores. Say it with me - DRY FIRING WORKS! You must pay attention to sight alignment, trigger release and follow through. Pe...

Can an old Gehman air pump be rebuilt?

I am writing for a friend who is not a member of Target Talk. He has an old Gehman air pump that now needs repair. He reports that the pump is a sealed unit. Is this true or is there a way to open up and repair the pump? Are rebuild kits available? Sorry, I don't have a model number for you to consi...

That means one of them finished 7th and 8th, the other finished 8th. Or that he mis-read the results. Beaman did finish 8th but Brown finished 3rd the first day and 5th the second day. Brown's finals scores are 180.6 (18 shots) and 137.8 (14 shots). If the OP had been correct you would have been co...
