Julio,

Could you also post the detail picture of the tubular magazine for the MG-4?

I've seen the MG-2 magazine cracked near the retention rail for the magazine follower.

Do you mean Morini = http://www.morini.ch/
or Matchguns = http://www.matchguns.com/ ???

I meant Morini and Matchguns semi-automatic pistols. The air pistols on the other hand are quite esteemed. Sorry for having been ambiguous.

Matchguns changed their mag design last year. Ask Stefano for new ones.

You mix things that have nothing in common besides the name of Morini: the CM162 and MG1 are completely different pistols, the CM22M and MG2 have completely different design/concepts. Same for the CM84E and MG5.

The morini CM22M and the Matchguns MG2 do indeed have something in common.

They both have and continue to have reliability issues.

Yes, I know if you fiddle and change parts and polish bits and use the right ammo etc. they can work. But, for something to be 'reliable' you should be able to take it out of the box and have it work without all that.

This is the usual rubbish.

Got my new MG2 3 weeks ago, besides a good cleaning I have done nothing but shooting. Tried 6-7 types of ammo, all in all about 700 rounds, 0 malfunctiones!

This pro/con MG2 is getting quite tedious.........

Thenks for posting the pictures.

The MG4 is an interesting newcomer, no doubt.

I dire hope the MG4 proves itself reliable. If the MG-folks have done their homework, that is.
Proper, and long time, testing prior to shipment to the market, is an important part of a gun manufacturers homework, in my opinion.

This is very true, and it should be true for all products, not just for firearms.

Unfortunately, in our days of rampant wannabe-capitalism, all products (and not just firearms) now leave beta testing and the discovery of flaws and quirks entirely to the consumers. Quality assurance only exists on the paper anymore.
