Re: WTS. Morini FP 84E .
Pilkington had several 84E's about a year ago. I bought one from Scott for (I think?) $1,200. Range of prices $1k-$1,200 depending on condition.

Re: Standard scoring system
PirateJohn is CORRECT! Integer scores for pistol. Pistol: No one has ever scored a "perfect" 600. MAP: WR=594; Jr. WR=588. WAP: WR=591; Jr. WR=585. American record = 591. Rifle: Routinely see 60 scores, all 10.0+; even the CMP matches, you'll see "600" regularly. (Go ARMY ladies!...

Re: Compact LP400 with standard cylinder??
1. Affect Accuracy? Probably not. Slight difference in weight/mass, inconsequential. On the converse, I'll attached a compact cylinder to a full-length Steyr EVO & then add a couple of the 5-gram "ballasts" close to the action. Again, inconsequential. 2. Rules? If it fits in "The ...

Re: Custom titanium firing pins?
There is a misconception about titanium alloys. They are much softer than steel alloy, they have a much lower tensile strength. Confirmed! Young's modulus typical steel = 190-215 GPa Young's modulus pure titanium = 120 GPa This value represents the material's stiffness or ability to resist deformat...
