Had a 601 for 6 years (pre hand-in). It had at least 8 years heave use before. Very few problems. Trigger was roll-over and smooth. Feeding was excellent, although the feed ramp was opened out slightly for me so “tighter” chambering ammunition could be used as RWS Match was, at the time, a tighter f...

“Dry-fire” mag is not standard; our gracious forum hosts are being generous. Hope you have got air and are enjoying your new pistol. Don’t be tempted to play with the velocity or trigger until you have really got used to it and springs of trigger have the unit has run-in. Unlike some, Steyr do a goo...

Works a treat David (and thanks for the loan of the barrel inserts!).

If you weigh your SCATT sensor plus the barrel insert, remove 1-2 weights as required and you can maintain the same balance dry-fire + SCATT as live fire.

The UK 50m pistols are the standard 50m pistols albeit with rods and about 5mm extra on the Morini barrel. In the case of the Morini, this is academic as you can move the barrel shroud that accommodates the foresight anyway. If you use a compensator (see other posts) then this must be at the end mos...

Julian, re the European training, we just get on with it! No point in dwelling on the past or what may or should have been. The are now several short LP50 pistols in the UK and numbers are growing as soon as the factory can produce them, demand is high from junior and senior Ladies Sport Pistol shoo...

This looks excellent, we have a number of junior shooters with LP2 junior compacts. Can this be fitted to the LP2 junior compact and also will this fit the Anschutz junior as I believe them to be the same frame. Is the a US$ price on these parts yet to give us an idea of approximate cost?? Many than...

We used Vaseline on the "O" rings; it also helps prevent cutting the "O" rings when re-installing the barrel.

For your CF/RF training, you may be aware that you can easily and successfully install the heavier trigger weight springs on the 162 that are from the CM22/CM32 and balance 1st and 2nd stage to correspond to your cartridge pistols.

For younger development shooters, you can install a “short” barrel and cylinder on a “long” pistol to lighten and reduce sight radius. As shooter grows, the pistol can revert back to the default. Cost of cylinder and short barrel is surprisingly low. A good investment if doing this is a couple of sp...

The 80 grit silicon carbide is excellent. We use masking tape over the external areas and modelling spray paint over the gripping surface – colour to suit (black looks good walnut). This post is made from rip-off Britain! In the UK, Morini (or Hammerli) paste is over £25, compared to $22 for a 125ml...

Firstly, for the strip-down; Mark Briggs prepared and posted on this forum an excellent and detailed strip-down of the 84e including the firing pin in breach block. Print this out and in conjunction with the exploded parts manual for the reference of part numbers (manuals on Morini web site in cease...

Firstly, a correctly set-up competition air pistol (matched pellet to gun & velocity) shot from vice or clamp will produce superb groups, apart from verification for elite shooter of equipment, for novice, it parks any doubt in equipment! For general testing, we just clamp the cylinders and this...

This is excellent work Ted, we don’t have access to this form of test equipment and often rely upon secondary information; you clearly went to a lot of effort to test, collate and report! Given 275 meter per second approximates 902.23 feet per second, the Lapua ORF in the Pardini looks a high risk a...

Not had any battery life problems since new electronics. The rollover trigger is most definitely possible and worked flawlessly for about 1500 rounds as I only had a few days with it to shoot ORF. Superb results with the kit. Well done Pardini! The Lapua super club was excellent training ammunition ...

The iris can be on either side of the lens, they are adjustable in diameter so this obviates any perceived advantage or disadvantage of either mounting location. Having the lens relatively close to the eye maintains a reasonable sized image for some shooters with stronger prescriptions for myopia (s...

The default CM22 grip shipped is very dropped wrist, if you like that fine, otherwise, the is less dropped wrist option available, would suggest checking out before purchase. They have two frames as well, steel and aluminium, the steel frame is not liked by the ladies. Two parameters to consider bef...

Just some random thoughts re product that may help others. Champion do the new super Olympic (the black case) that has offset nose bridge stalk. This enables inline stance and still have lens in centre of eye when in shooting position (I shoot right hand/left eye and this exacerbates situation). Wou...

The rules are very clear re 10/25/50 aiming diagrams for match and official training. Any thing contra done locally in training is unreliable as many events will apply rules correctly. One approach is for shooters to adapt training technique to then use in pre-match by introduction of dry-firing / a...

Our issues with the SP20 have been many cracked frames and two slides, however, all issues have been with the .32 model. Would urge that you try as many pistols as you can before making up your own mind. I have SP20’s in both .22 and .32 and also the new Pardini electronic .22 and manual .32. I took...

If you travel to the Bernese Oberland area of Switzerland, the are several ranges but given the time of year, you may want a backup plan. A commercial indoor range with ammunition sales (and kit hire) is Brünig Indoor. The range fees are by the hour or day. The costs can be a bit higher than outdoor...
