Morini 162 Weight System

Post by DaFont »

Hello,
I'm considering purchase of a Morini 162 EI but would like a weight system similar to an Anshutz LP. I'm sure there is a way to rig something like this? Any ideas?
Thanks

It's been mentioned here a few times. Best system for the Morini is to cut the end off a 35mm film canister and attach some self-stick tyre weights to these. I use the 5g weights as you do not have to bend them to conform to the plastic tube.
Slide the tube over the air cannister. It is a perfect fit and doesn't scratch the cannister. Depending on your preference you can have the weight as far forward as under the front sight or closer back to the trigger guard.
In matches where the shakes take over and the front sight seems to be dancing to a tune of its own, I push the weight right forward and it reduces the shakes a little.

Morini has weights that slide onto the barrel (held in place by O rings), also weights can be fitted under the tank on either a single or double rod.
Check out the Morini web site.
