Ah, I see. Just showing off.

Truth is, if I just got such a pretty new toy, I'd show it off too. Good luck with it!

I owned the same setup Ernie. Probably the most accurate target pistol I have owned. I used 1.1 gr. of vvn310 and a 98 gr. hbwc.
The KN grip made it a perfect combination.

Congratulations !

I have one as well - and they are truly magical.

Now you need it's bigger brother, the MR38, to keep it company.....

From what I can see MFR you have done well. Do you have any other pictures showing the grip in more detail ?

I own one & can't shoot it.
I'm missing the very small "T" nut that holds the rear sight in place.
Anyone know where I can get one.
I've emailed the factory without success.

Thanks for responses. Sadly,I did not get an information/owners booklet with my pistol.My importer/Manurhin representitive tried to get one from from Chapius Armes,the manufacturer,but the copy was very poor.If anyone has a decent copy of an owners booklet/manual for this pistol and would email it to me I would be very happy.Thanks in advance.Ernie

I have a MR32 with Rink grip. I was never really into centerfire before I got the Manurhin. Now it is still a secondary deciplin for me but I really love this revolver and enjoy shooting it very much. With the Rink grip it just makes it perfect for me and I am never going to depart with this gun.

It is fairly skimpy at only four pages - try this link http://www.chapuis-armes.com/img/chapuis/MR73.pdf

Rink grip? Interesting... Both my Manurhins are fitted with Morinis as, for me, they were a better fit than the Nills.

I didn't know Rink made grips for these......

No the Manurhin grip is not on Rinks website so I did not think he made them either. I did a google seach though and found the pictures in this link http://www.letirsportif.com/t10039-cros ... n-38-match . After that I just wrote to Thomas Rink asking for the Manurhin grip and it was no problem at all, got it in black/red. Same price at his other standard grips. Strange though that it is not on his website when he went through the trouble og making the template??

Thanks for that information. I'll be writing to Mr Rink as well....

Thanks for all the good advice people-especially from Spencer and the link he supplied.Dave Wilson-32 guru sent me his internal bbl mike to check out cylinders.I shot a Lapua HBWC at a very low charge through bbl (.1grs) and measured groove diameter-it was .313 at widest point (slugged). Measured cylinder chamber throat (cylinder forcing cone???)-was about .316 on all of them.On reloading setup-original Redding die expander measured .313 and I suspected it might be deforming the soft HBWC bullets. I am presently testing Speers,Lapua,H&N-all approx. 98grs.Also a 115 gr bullet (SWC) with a nose very similar to the H&G #68 FB and a 115gr RN bullet from a H&G mold.The molds drop bullets at .315 dia. I will size them at .3145. so far.In conjunction with a chronograph and possibly a Ransom Rest (if I get the correct insert) I will accuracy test using BE,N310 and probably WST powder. My target velocity will be 600 to 750 fps. One of my personal goals is to see if heavier bullets(115gr) are accurate up to 50 yards and to see if the bullets display the slight instability (grease marks) that some HBWC display.Thanks again for all your help. Cheers Ernie

I have now tested a little bit harder loads in my MR73 32WC. 1,55gr VV N310, cci primer, greased HN314WC and Magtech brass. Have not yet test in ransom rest, but got a very nice group during a 30 shot precision practise the other day.

295p. whereof 13 inner tens. (as usual, I shoot on a reused target, if somebody is wondering about the five sitckers)

The recoil was just slightly harder, but I still got a very nice feeling.
