Re: Inside a Steyr LP1-P Aluminum CO2 Cylinder @ 25 years..(

Regarding hand pumping: I always frown every time I use my hand pump because I know that moisture is moving into my bottle or cylinder. I usually fill as much as possible with my 4500 psi carbon fiber bottle that I have filled at the local paintball park. I make up the remaining pressure with my han...

Re: Hill pump problem or cylinder problem?

I've become quite the pump expert after having owned a Benjamin pump (two actually!) for 3 years now. One pump works well most of the time, and is easy on the O rings. The other is my frequent failure pump that I'm gradually improving at each rebuild. The Hill type pumps are actually three pumps in ...

Re: Evo replacing LP10 in US?

Agree with Chia. Pilkguns and Champions Choice both top drawer suppliers. I purchased shooting glasses, pellets, targets etc from both. Reasonable pricing and great support for our sport.

Re: Any experience with importing from Krale (Netherlands)

This will be my last follow-up re: Krale-Schietsport. I received the MGH1 here in Houston today, exactly 7 days after ordering. That included the Labor Day weekend. It was inspected both in Philadelphia, and Louisville (both large UPS hubs). It spent a bit less than a day at both locations, and I wa...

Re: Any experience with importing from Krale (Netherlands)

Encouraging news Joe. And speaking of encouraging, I received my notice on UPS indicating departure scan from Louisville. Almost finished with my indoor range too!

Re: Any experience with importing from Krale (Netherlands)

Just a quick update on Krale-Schietsport. Gerrit is a great guy to deal with, and they have credit card purchases from the U.S. perfected. It's a simple 1.5% of total purchase; includes shipping of course. If you order just an air pistol, US Customs are not to charge any duty according to the Harmon...

Re: New air pistol... old-new shooter

Just purchased the MGH1 Mechanical this morning from Krale-Schietsports. Great guys to deal with (is there anyone in Holland that doesn't speak English better that I do!??). Anyway, I looked at all of your comments, the fact that these guns were not offered in the US, a great delivered price of $1,1...

Re: Newbie Question: Does the gun make the shooter?

I just purchased a Match Gun MGH1 mechanical for $1111 USD delivered to Houston UPS from Krale-Schietsports. Gerrit helped me thru the process and answered all my questions. Great guy. I was attracted to this pistol because the ones selling in the US were ultra high end and not in my budget, or chea...

Re: Evo replacing LP10 in US?

Gents, thanks for turning me on to Krale-Schietsport. I'm "pulling the trigger" (pun intended) on a new Morini MGH1 Light tomorrow. My first match pistol. Have upstairs, indoor 10 meter range with proper height and lighting ready to go. I assume they will have no difficulty shipping to Hou...
