The reason I was leaning towards the Morini is that the mag will take 6 shots unlike the Pardini and 6 shots are ncessary for the Mandar sessions Sorry for sounding ignorant, but what is "Mandar"??? I have been pistol shooting in Australia for almost 20 years and never heard of the match....

do yourself a favor and just get rid of it and buy a Morini CM22RF.
I just sold my almost new MG2R, and also sellong my MG4 and MG1.
Just not happy with the brand and reliability.

As a top Aussie shooter said to me last weekend, you need two MG2s to finish one Rapid Fire match!!!

Firing the did break, after 350 rounds the last shot of rapid fire stage.
Parts have been replaced, but not confident in the gun yet...

Hopefully it works flawlessly at National Titles this week.

cheers

Can anyone provide an explanation for the first round going way high phenomena we seem to be encountering with the .32?? As someone who has now owned 4 Hammerli 280 kits, I can honestly say I have not personally encounted this phenomena. That is not saying it doesn't happen, as I have heard from to...

Thought of that, even priced them.
For for about $800 I can clean with 2 stroke a lot longer...

I can't think of any reason to use magnum primers. I always loaded my pistol loads with small rifle primers. Everything from .32 S&W target to my major .38 Super IPSC loads. The .32 S&W loads were very nice, consistent with tight groups. It also made it easy when doing calibre changing from...

You go from one extreme to the other ! - a light oil, and then... dunking in petrol! The interim step would be using a solvent to clean the barrel, and only if a pistol is caked in crap would you immerse it. If I had to "deep clean" a pistol, I would prefer to use Kerosene, and then clean...

At the moment I only clean my guns after every 500 rounds or just before a big comp. My cleaning includes a light oil and bore snake through the barrel. I have been told than every 1000 rounds I should immerse the whole gun in 2 stroke petrol (1:25 mix) to soak, then let it air. Is this reccomended ...

Can someone tell me how to adjust the trigger weight, without pulling the guns apart?

I would like to fine tune both my MG2R and my MG4, but I cant get access to the adjustment screws because of the springs.

Please help.

cheers

Congratulations ! Please post a review as soon as you are able to. Regarding base loads, I seem to remember Tycho posting some. Only a brief review, didnt get much tome to shoot yesterday: First 5 shots were simple beautiful - factory fiocchi loads with 98gr HBWC 45 / 50 (group slightly hight right...

finally recieved my MG4 (over 2 months late)

Just wondering if anyone has any base loads they have found that work well in the MG4.

Cheers

At the moment I am using my Matchguns MG2RF with Eley Sport ammo, although for some comps I will use Tenex.

My wife is using a Morini CM22RF with CCI SV and Eley Sport ammo.

Hmm, found these pictures and it seems it is aan awfull big case. It almost makes me not want to buy it:-) Maybe it is bacause of those silly stabilasers Here are some links to shops whare they sell the MG1E to aprox €1000: http://www.schuetzenwelt.de/shop/1/waffen/4/luftpistole/3872/match_guns_pre...

There is also no shortage of jerk shooters, I still remember the games people played with 'not ready', it swings both ways. When it comes to safey I'm pretty tired of being polite, having had multiple firearms pointed at me, dry-fired at me, having 7.62mm rifles fired a metre behind me and twice no...

It also says however "Juries, Range officials, team officials and shooters must be advised of any special regulations." Well then we're down to what 'advised' means. If its on a sign on the wall I'd take that to mean 'advised'. A problem is most clubs woudn't assume any of their rules are...

All the clubs I've been to in Aus prohibit anyone approaching the benches, there is usually a safety line, until 'Range Clear' and 'Load' have been called. Step over it and you'll be 'spoken to' at least. Any competitor should read up on local range rules before shooting, IIRC somewhere in the ISSF...

No-one should have approached the bench until 'load' was called. the ISSF rules only prohibit touching the gun or magazine. You certainly don't need to stand back from the bench or avoid touching other items of your equipment. Thank you David, That is correct and was mentioned to the RO by the judg...

...at a "sanctioned" match... 1/ what competition? 2/ what event? 3/ did you inform the presiding judge/s? Spencer (my backyard) Hi Spencer, 1/ ACT Titles 2/ Centrefire (RF stage) 3/ the judge was informed and the RO was spoken to by the judge. The RO still claimed he was right in his act...

Thanks for your feedback Richard.

After the series was shot, we made it "very vocal" we were not happy, no need for a private area to share our thoughts on the issue.

As for people down the line, no, they had cleared the range andseated when we approached the bench.

Cheers

Hi, Just wondering what you guys would do in this situation? Several shooters who are competing at a "sanctioned" match, stand up after scoring is completed (paper targets) and approach the bench. The caller and register keeper have just walked behind the firing line. One competitor reache...
