Re: Need recommendations on outfitting a new shooter

For what it is worth, we are holding one sporter match per month through at least April. 3 position, 30 shots. That is the format for now. The first match was 2 relays with 16 shooters. We want to grow this match in the interest of exposing more youth to relatively low cost shooting. There is an Ame...

Starting/running matches. Sporter rifle for Jr's

As the title says. I know nothing. We have started a youth program and want to encourage competition as well as help foster the local youth competitive shooters. We want to focus on sporter rifle and keep it Jr friendly. Do we want NRA approved? Our own format? Standing only? I'd really like to hear...

Re: Pardini k60

Rover, I know you are big on CO2 pistols from searching threads on the K60. This is a 2fer. I'm in on this deal with Mike. Are parts still available for these guns? I'm familiar with fills from my paintball days. I need a scale in grams though. What is the downside to CO2? I know why we went HPA in ...

Hopefully this is the last update as I believe the issue is resolved. I read the Bob Marvel guide and tuned the mags accordingly. No difference. I installed the EGW mag catch. Much tighter, but not the fix. One of the guys at the club discussed it with me and suggested cutting down the magazine spri...

Update: As I said, with a full mag, I could fire 5 with no issue. I made a spacer to simulate the spring tension of a full mag and that didn't work. At all. Last night I was able to tighten the mag lips as spec'ed in the Bob Marvel guide. That seems to have helped greatly, and I think with a bit mor...

The ammo was eley sport. It is the only ammo I have used. I have fed several hundred through other pistols without issue. I know that Marvel isn't testing with it anymore because of issues. As to the recoil spring, that is why I referenced the other thread. The mystery however, is that it is always ...

Marvel fail to feed. Update:resolved

I have a new steel Unit 1 with the lock back. I am getting a fail to feed consistently on the 4th round. The round starts in the chamber and the last round feeds out of the magazine and straight into the bolt face getting pinched at the breech face. The problem started with additional gsg mags purch...
