I am hoping for a comeback, just because it is interesting to have an alternative that is a bit different from the others. Perhaps they could partner up with some Germans for quality’s sake …

I admit I am not adding any scientific rigour to the discussion but I just wanted to add that I have shot a significant number of lead-free pellets (H&N Green Match, I think they are called) through my Steyr LP 50. Steyr has told me they are fine to shoot, but also mentioned that they may not be...

I shoot on paper targets and have a MantisX. I looked into electronic targets … I can buy a pretty decent number of paper targets and pellets for the price of one, so I keep shooting the classical way.

Was also over 40 and am most likely subject to the same requirements as the previous poster. Most beginners here are on the older side, in my experience: it is a hobby that benefits greatly from having a car and some time on the weekends. Hard to combine with that time in life when kids are small, f...

That is interesting! Thanks for the information. I am still trying to get my extractor replaced but any month now I may be able to try what you described ...

Thanks for the suggestion! I have not shot it much for a while now, because the extractor broke a month ago. However, it seems like I am getting double shots primarily with some brands of cartridges. If I find some that work reliably and seem accurate enough then I may refrain from doing modificatio...

Thanks, that is very useful to know! The firing pin in the MG2 does look very robust. I do have a replacement for it, but I have not gotten that far with the MG4 yet; it is just a couple of weeks old for me.

Yes, something is going on for sure! There is ostensibly a letter on the way from MG to me with a narrower front sight. I have sent the money but never received a confirmation, so it may or may not be on the way. If it does not arrive this week it probably is not! I was planning on buying a set of s...

I have sent an email to MG; will see if they reply. It does not look like anyone is monitoring their email and I was not able to parse the Italian message on the answering machine.

Thank you, Gwhite, for your elaborate answer! The MG reseller in my country of residence has unfortunately lost their key MG proponent and decided to stop selling them, and they have recently lost another employee that has worked on them, so while I will say that they have attempted to help as much ...

Is there a source for this story you would be able to share? That sounds serious, if so. A bit off-topic, perhaps.

Hello! I found an old thread describing a similar problem (https://www.targettalk.org/viewtopic.php?t=56519) but could not really glean the required insight from it. I have recently bought an MG4 (I have shot it four times so far). Not that rarely, maybe once every ten shots, it will "double up...

Mr White, thanks for the videos! There are quite few videos on disassembly and given the paucity of information in the manual it is quite hard to understand how it is constructed. Very much looking forward to seeing the elevator video!

Did you manage to get the problem resolved?

It sounds like you ordered it online at least, which makes postage their issue. I was so impatient that I drove and picked up mine in the store so if I ever need to send it back I'd have to pay for that myself. Either way, let's hope that the turnaround is quick. Better have it sent in now than when...

Do you have far to your local reseller? It sounds like you're very much in my situation (quite possibly in the same country, but I may infer too much from your username): in this cold and far-away land there is only one and for me it's more or less a 4-hour trip, one way. I had a minor problem with ...

I hope it continues working as it should! I have not disassembled mine fully yet (it's also pretty new). I'd like to find someone with some mechanical confidence and go about it, so I know how to do it. I'd be particularly interested in seeing how the trigger and related components look, and how the...

During a period a while ago, mine exhibited related symptoms. I suspect there was some dirt somewhere in the trigger mechanism. It happened after I had shot quite a lot of Norma Tac-22, which while working great over at the target left lots and lots of crud in the pistol. Some of this, I speculate, ...

Very unscientifically, when I've shot my LP 50 at 25 metres my groups have been about as good as when with my MG2. Essentially, it's does not seem to be the pistol/pellets holding me back.

I concur with Oldnslow regarding the Match Green pellets. I've shot tens of thousands of those through my LP 50 and I've never felt it was anything but my fault when the shot didn't hit where it should. I'm not an Olympic-level shooter (as is evidenced by the following statement) but I shot a 80-sho...
