Re: Mg2

As GWhite has mentioned there is a learning curve of do’ and don’ts that makes ownership of the MG2 more tolerable. But in nearly all cases it results in a “ love hate “ relationship in which you have to live with the inner demon telling you that it may malfunction on the next shot. I have owned fiv...

Re: GSP500

GSP was reliable if nothing else. It had terrible, front heavy and ungainly balance and a rear sight blade to be laughed at.
However as the previous message has mentioned, if reliability is ongoing and all the other design issues have been addressed I will be one of the early owners.

Re: Mg2

The magazines are carbon fiber, and because they are tubular and sit forward of the breech, they don't get very dirty. I don't recall cleaning mine more than once, and I've never had a malfunction attributable to the magazines. The MG2's have their quirks, but the magazines aren't a big deal. One i...

Re: GSP500

It appears that they are continuing GSP500 support only and may/have ceased production of the SSP and GSP Expert.

Re: GSP500

I just left Walther site and the SSP as well as the old GSP are both missing. Does this mean that the SSP has been discontinued ?

Re: Cleaning walnut grips

I have good results by cleaning with Shellite , rubbing down with 0000 steel wool and finishing with Danish oil and rubbing back between coats with 2000 grit wet and dry paper.

Re: Better groups on blank target

I agree with this diagnosis. I've been using 6 o'clock hold for years (center fire) - making the transition from 6 to sub-6 will take some doing I suspect. Not if you accept that this is excellent advice....blind faith and it will happen after your first five shots. The only obstacle in adopting he...

Re: Pros and Cons of Electronic Trigger

I believe answers to this question should be from people who have owned both manual and electronic triggers.
As an owner of both in .177 and .22 I prefer the electronic trigger and have had no trouble with the E, but have had problems with manual triggers over the years.

Re: Unfastening the very tightly screwed PCP Cylinder

If you do lube it make sure to use silicon grease or your problems may include degraded o rings.

A piece of thin rubber counter matting often provides better grip and the cylinder removal is much easier.

Re: Meisterkugelyn Pistol 4.49 size 7.0 grain

The size is a matter of pellet insertion effort, not an accuracy issue.
The 4.49 just is just easier to push into my Evo, that's all.
Why would you worry Brent...if accuracy is not the issue, the larger ( by a bees dick ) pellets may seal better and fps helpful.

Re: Meisterkugelyn Pistol 4.49 size 7.0 grain

Apart from that unless you have considerable Ransom rest DNA as part of your physiological makeup in the real world of standing, holding a 950 gram AP out in front of you there will be “bugger all” differences in your results unless you allow your subconscious to dictate such. Hell any minor deviati...

Re: Pardini & Rapidfire

Reliable? The Pardini often malfunctions more so than, perhaps, a Walther SSP. My Pardini had a better track record regarding malfunctions than my Walther SSP or SSPE. Only marginally but I had more confidence using the Pardini. I also don’t think it’s success is due solely to marketing as I found ...
