Your just thinking about that timer and not really thinking too hard about shooting---the less you know the better you shoot ( or something like that.)

IMHO the simple fact that there are vents machined, usually on the upper surface of the comp, that is supposed to deflect the compressed air volume that precedes the bullet after ignition---the physics & subsequent calculations works out to show that the energy produced is supposed to counteract...

The term "lift" is one I coined many years back---simply put the lift of the muzzle on recoil is a movement of the front portion of the barrel on ignition of the powder-- this movement occurs slightly ahead of the round leaving the muzzle---ergo--it follows that: the chance of the bullet b...

Compensators have their place I guess---that you see them on guns being fired by the "dead-eyes" on the world scene---may not necessarily the ones manufactured by "Morini??". The length of the FP barrel is usually ~11"---so that's why they were developed more to compensate t...

An electric engraving tool (Sears) with an adjustable stroke can stipple the surface very nicely. Don't use the long stroke and sit over an area too long, be patient and you will become the grip stippling maven.

That's the method used by the New York State Empire Games for the Shooting events. The local region holds trials and send two topshooters plus an alternate to each event---the two shooters comprise a team for each of the venues---and also shoot on an individual bases. In pistol the following events ...

My new TOZ arrived today and in all it's glory in Rink laminate grips & fore stock & weights. The first TOZ I had bought in 93 and some guy talked me out of it ( it had issues ). Since then I have gone through Hammerli 160 Special, Morini C84E and now to my new Russian girl friend Svetlyana....

Glad you solved that Andy, a beautiful new gun that doesn't seem to want to perfomr can be disheartening, at best. Good shooting---Bob

Let's face it folks, there are NO MANUFACTURERS in the US with the desire nor ( skills) to build an American FP. We had a couple of desultory attempts in the 50's & 60's which went NO WHERE fast. The closest to building an RF gun was Hi-Standard--which I believe built a model for one or two (?) ...

I used a GPE (electronic) for RF almost the first one imported by Nygord---there was constant flow of modules going back and forth between the of us. I bought a second module when I got the gun and thank God I had the two---it got to be a second hand joke on the Schlitz Comedy Hour---the adage was &...

While I no longer participate in AP---because of choice---there is no other simulation of FP other than FP itself IMHO. And going a step further there is no better simulation than at 50 yards or metres. I personally use the 50' & 25 yards reduced targets indoors---with my preference going to 25 ...

I have tried Jagd Green Dot (LV), Eley Target Pistol Match, Eley Ten-X, CCI Blue, etc. and have settled on RWS Target Rifle---which seems to relatively inexpensive in comparison. I have the best grouping with it on the Hammerli 160 Special, and TOZ (tight chamber) eats it up nicely as well. I don't ...

Nicole, I think you made a wise choice in the K22---in deference you may experience some minor glitches as a new gun but it quickly becomes vintage and I expect you to be quite happy. I have seen a few around and our Upstate New York FP shooters who seem to prefer it, as there are a few around. I st...

That's a new one---I have shot my SP & HP for several years now and clean them fairly often---never had that happen to me nor have I heard of it before. I use a "T" handle wrench with my Pardini's and mebbe it tightens better than a regular key.

You are 100% on that requirement from the US government regarding safeties. However mine has a grip saftey that I wired down and covered with a piece of velcro wool. I cannot remember how many rounds have gone through mine---but it still functions like new and has never caused a shooting malfunction...

I am not known for my love of the FP-10 and/or (Morini, Match Guns) (Swiss or Italian) , I never owned one but, had the use of one for a period of three months. Now this was an early model listed by Hammerli as the FP-10---though it was NOT built by Hammerli. I personally found the trigger group mal...

Bruce, is that a pdf or a jpeg file? Possibly it could be uploaded in parts or reduced in size---darned if I could tell you how, but there are a couple of computer mavins on the site that could possible help. Good shooting Bob R.

The correlation between FP and BE shooting is an interesting phenomenon---while the FP skills consist basically of working with a trigger around 15 grams pull slow fire, and the BE pistol from 2#-~5# from slo to ragged fire. I found that when I practised more with the FP my BE scores went up dramati...

If you are a fairly proficient FP shooter---maybe the Morini may be a choice you should make. Remember this, some of the top shooters are still using the TOZ and it's use is almost like that of the old 747---it's still here and there is stilla good supply of them around the world. I am now on to my ...

Try opening and closing the rear sight notch width--- I forget which screw changes that---read the manual---It could be that the final test may have moved that width and the sight didn't return to"centre". If that fails try to bench the gun and see if it isn't you---after failing that retu...
