I am very happy with the grips made by Sergei.

It may seem a bit cliche, but they fit like a glove.

He has great attention to detail, that why they take over 8 hours each to make.

His reputation speaks for itself in elite shooting circles.

Have a search around for Barry Cameron. He is a grip maker from the western suburbs of Sydney. I have never had one made by him but from all reports he does a nice job. I had my grips made by Sergei in Melbourne. He is a unbelievable craftsman, but it is a big committment to get yourself there. I wa...

Where is Australia are you.

I know of two very very good grip makers. One in Melbourne and one in Sydney.

The chap in Melbourne is the best in the business.

Fingers crossed the ammunition isnt just rotated on the shelves to become someone elses problem.

The gun has since been through an entire brick of SK Pistol Match with no troubles.

Lucky, because the user has a very very big competition in Sydney next week.

I would try the Quality control route, but I am 14000 kilometres away.

Wouldnt mind a few free cases though LOL

The shop has been very fair with me, and as always helped to their fullest potential.

I agree, our AW93's have used four cases before this one.

Hopefully the replacement ammunition works well.

When I spoke with the manager, he assured me he would take the problem up with the importer, not merely cycle them back through the shelves. I spoke with a member of a resident club at SISC this morning and they have been having similar problems with CCI. Hope it can be resolved as I dont like the i...

Had a chat with the gun shop I bought the CCI's from.

Although he said he hadnt heard of any issues, he offered to swap them over for a different batch. Great customer service!

Thanks Spencer, I cant remember seeing as many malfunctions as I saw at that competition. Both AW93's usually love the CCI SV but have only started malfunctioning with this latest case. I dont know if it is a coincidence, but the packaging is different from the last case I purchased too. With the am...

Thanks for your opinions. Both AW93's have fired a lot of rounds....in the tens of thousands.... I will disassemble a round next time we are at the range and a misfire occurs. I was quite concerned as the last competition we were at we witness a very large number of malfunctions during the match. (S...

CCI Misfires

Hi, I have recently been experiencing a lot of misfires using CCI in AW93 guns. We have two AW93's in the family and both are having the same trouble. Never had any trouble up untill starting a new case of ammo. Despite thouroughly cleaning both guns, the problem persists. Took particular care to en...
