A message for Spencer,

Did you get around to updating your audio files, and if you did can you post a link, I have looked on your site but can't find them .... they are probably hiding in plain sight.....

Cheers

Mike

Have a look at the ejector on the magazine, the inside of it can get a bit rough and cause ejection problems.

A light file can take the rough edge off.

That 60gm difference between the first and second stage explains why I haven't successfully been able to get rid of the second stage. I tried to remove the second stage from my LP10 as a training aid for my Rapidfire shooting where I have set up my Pardini SP with a rolling trigger. Which is great f...

I am thinking I will wear my jeans at the Sydney World Cup - well in training - and see what they say. The NZ national flag is predominantly blue and therfore complies with point 6 of the rulings. 6. The intention of ISSF pistol and shotgun clothing rules is that shooters in competitions must wear s...

Just be careful with the Varga's they can have plastic mounting blocks and screws which don't tighten very well as they are flexible and can be prone to movement. But if you can get them with the metal/alloy blocks they are excellant value for money.

Go with the Pardini, just look at the videos of world cup finals there are a large number of Pardini's on the line.

I used a Walther GSP prior to the Pardini and would never go back.

In New Zealand men can either shoot Centrefire or .22 which is called Mens sport pistol or something like that. It is a completely seperate event to Centrefire and the Womens 25m event but is exactly the same course of fire with Men shooting .22 pistols. It is pretty popular and can can sometimes ha...

Something I would LOVE to do with the electronic trigger... if I had one; I would make a tiny circuit board that would randomize a circuit/short-circuit to the 162xx solenoid. This would create a random 'dry-fire' and recreate the "ball and dummy" exercise. Ha ha - I have this functionali...

1.4m from the level of the firing position to the centre of the target.

This is the best quote I have come across in a long time and applies to all sorts including match preparation.

I have changed the trigger weight on my HP and took most off the first stage but kept the ratio between first and second stages to be similar to my Pardini SP. But then I changed the SP trigger to be a rolling trigger with no second stage, I have just changed my HP to be a rolling trigger too by tak...

Dazza The 100gr projectiles are locally made in New Zealand, but the 98gr are made by Bullzi in Australia, and are my preference to shoot with. http://www.metrosystems.com.au/~bullzi/index.html I have never actually measured the diameter but I am pretty sure Hank can size them to your requirements R...

This gun is less than 6 months old and is the new CM22RF version, not sure of the exact age but definitely the latest model and a new gun. The malfunction occurs with the two magazines that came with the gun and a third magazine that has been borrowed and is being modified. The 'lips' of the magazin...

My load for my Pardini HP New is as follows 1.4gr N310, winchester primer, 98gr HBWC projectile, seated flush with the case mouth and only a very slight taper crimp. Other loads that work and are roughly the same point of impact, plus or minus a couple of clicks on the sights are 1.5gr Winchester Su...

Ok I have spent some time with this gun now and this is what I have found The malfunction happens enough to be annoying and has the potential to take you out of a match. It normally happens on the first round as it is fed into the chamber, it looks like the next round in the magazine pushes up too h...

Has anyone had any issues with this gun? This is the new RapidFire model I know of a number of these new models that are having malfunctions with the fired cases not extracting properly or the new round not feeding correctly from the magazine into the chamber. I am going to spend some time with one ...

6.3.6.3.5 It is prohibited to put any substance on the floor of the Firing Point. It is prohibited to wipe the firing point without permission. That is fantastic, whilst it is illegal to mark the floor of the firing point but if you do no-one can wipe it off without permission - hilarious. I hope y...

although a brightly lit indoor range (double would still be under 1000 lux on the sights and 2000 lux on the target) I thought the lighting at the target had to be 1500 Lux, this is what I understood from the rules. 6.3.15.4 Indoor 10 m ranges must have artificial illumination providing the necessa...

Why do the patches need to come out clean?

If the gun works and still groups what is the problem apart from your own personal pride and cleanliness fetish.

Just a thought, nothing nasty intended :)

Check the screw that holds the cocking lever on to the side of the gun, I have seen this before and the screw had worked its way loose, the problem was fixed by gently tightening it. You have to take the grip off to get at the screw.
