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...

I have an LP 50 and pump 1–2 cylinders per day. Takes about a minute per cylinder and I'm not a marathon runner. Sure, increases your heart rate a bit but is not terribly intense.

When I said in my original post that they were similar I meant in how they allowed me to shoot as if I were shooting "sport pistol" in my garage. The triggers are not similar at all. I cannot remember now how the trigger on the LP 50 feels like at 500 g; I've set it as heavy as it goes an...

Yeah, the MG trigger is amazing. I've dabbled with the LP 50 trigger but no matter what I do, it retains the looong crunchy grating creep that also seems to snag on something from time to time. The LP 10 is worlds apart and I'm not sure why it's difficult to make a good trigger on the LP 50. I did t...

These are quite light pellets too, by the way, so with heavier ones I presume it would shoot slower. Well, does not seem that it is suspiciously slow. Maybe the shot count that Steyr advertises is with an even higher speed and heavier pellets. It's fun to own a chronograph but not sure if I learned ...

I got the chronograph and shot three shots over it, clocking in at 544±1 ft/s approximately half a metre from the muzzle. No scientific setup (I just kneeled in front of the table where the chronograph sat and fired three shots), but it seems to me that is a reasonable speed for an LP 50 and relativ...

Thanks! I have ordered a chronograph to see what it clocks in at. May be useful for other things in future too, I hope. The cylinder usually does remain attached. I almost always forget to uncock it too, so that may be another future spring to replace. Is it to be expected that springs wear out rela...
