"Possible causes ?
Mag lips, feedramp/chamfer, recoil spring ??? "

Likely to be none of these. Suggest you take your magazine apart and thoroughly clean and then lubricate the insides with a dry lubricant.

Re: Pardini FP

Uhm, so, apart from the pricing "problem", how does the Pardini FP do in comparison with the Morini's, Hammerli FP60s and the TOZ FPs? There must be some reason why they are priced exorbitantly. Ron There is some bleating on the Pardini website about them making taper bore barrels. Maybe ...

Just checked the prices here in Australia. All prices in Australian dollars - which is currently on par with the US dollar.

Morini CM84E = $2250

Pardini FPE = $2825

I was quoted $3600 for one of these last year.

Pardini SP New mechanical = $2225 - Matchguns MG2 is the same price

For all it's perceived faults, it must not be forgotten that the current standard pistol world record was set by a shooter using a Hammerli 208. And so was the previous world record.

My experience has been the exact opposite - for my Toz 35, I went from the Rink grips to Morini - which, in my opinion, are far superior. I also was unimpressed by the fact that Rink uses 2 different pieces of wood glued together to make a FP grip and, on my example, were a different colour and with...

I have bought several items from Egun without problems. As always with auction sites, you should look at the seller rating and try to contact him before buying. The only drawback is that many sellers do not want to sell/ship outside of Germany what limits the available auctions for international bu...

I have a lot of experience with buying pistols and other items on egun.de.

German export licence takes about 3 weeks and then your firearm can be shipped.

Where are you based? What problems are you experiencing?

Question about the Hammerli 232

I've found a new, unfired Hammerli 232 which I'm thinking of buying. This gun would complement my collection of SIG and Hammerli pistols nicely. The 232 under consideration has a silver-coloured frame with black barrel and slide etc. Question - Is this a later model 232? A 232-2 perhaps, or an earli...
