Chambering reamer did not remove any of the damage.
So with a hardwood mandel wrapped with 800 grit wet/dry and lots of oil, lapped for 15-20seconds.
Then with 1200 grit followed by 1800 grit each 20-30 sec.
Finished with a cotton patch covered with Alum Mag wheel polishing paste.

An american Match grade chambering reamer hardly touched the surface, so the chamber was honed to try to smooth and polish.
When tried it worked very well, no more malcunctions and even worked well with CCI.
A little oversize but for Rapidfire that is not a problem.

65g in summer, 80g in winter and finals.

How is the barrel retained in the barrel shroud on a Late Pardini SP ? Is it just some form of locktite ? Can it be removed with gentle heat ? Just received a barrel where the chamber looks like it was cut with a steam shovel. Deep grooves and galling about half way down the chamber and it is causin...

Interesting .....but the trigger or more correctly the trigger shoe very much depends on the type of pistol and the trigger weight it uses. The mate between trigger shoe and finger is very dependant on trigger weight. ie a Free pistol with a light gram weight trigger needs a feel that will feed back...

Too long, follow through long enough to see your foresight recover from recoil, see where it settles on the target and to call your shot position /value.
Then check your screen or scope to see if your shot call is correct.
Should be 1-2 seconds at the most.

The origional 208 has minimal trigger adjustment.
Also has two trigger setups depending on serial number.
Trigger weight, slack and travel.
There is no sear adjustment.

Looks like Rapidfire stays in the Olympics 2028 LA with minor changes.
Final will increase from 6 to 8.

Most likely the hammer spring gone weak, a common problem.
Was the pistol put away cocked at some stage ?
The S&W M14 rebound spring makes a good replacement spring.

Foud a couple of Rapidfire coaching Youtubes.

Pulling the loading lever full back should set the hammer to the cocked position. As the loading lever is moved forward there should be no load felt pushing the lever forward. If a forward load is felt then the hammer did not cock and has come forward with the lever. If this is the case then when fi...

With two different .22 Spec's, the general rule is European Pistol = European Ammo American Pistol = American Ammo (most will also run European Ammo) To get a European Pistol to run American ammo it usually needs gunsmith work. Basically magazine work (bullet length) and chamber ream (American Match...

Don't jump to conclusions, all we know is that the new rule book has been put back a couple of months.
Can still go either way.
Had no feedback from the ISSF meeting in mid Feburary.

The biggest failure point of any pistol is the NUT on the BUTT. Shooter's and Coach's that fiddle with triggers without knowing what they are doing. Take away the allen keys and the cheap leaky batteries and most problems are solved. Normal wear and tear is expected, springs soften, seals deteriate ...

The pistol trigger stop helps with quick shooting and follow up shots. A Air pistol or Free pistol does not require a trigger stop, it may only help if your trigger collapses after the break. With Standard and Rapid it will help with the faster shots by shortning the trigger over travel. Beware if s...

Pistol or Rifle ?

Grease smeared on the surface of the O ring's is OK, plus a little on the tank threads. These are working surfaces. The loading lever also is a working surface, apply a little grease. Keep the firing hammer and channel free of grease and lube. Using the same grease makes it easy plus you do not want...

Major difference is weight and weight distribution (balance).

Thanks Peter, One drill I do have and have been using for a long time live fire is.. Set the timer to 5 by 3 sec/7sec time. Load 6 rounds. 8 sec Training, first shot and transition, (break 2.0-2.6 sec) Six lifts total. - lift and fire then traverse to second target but do not fire on each appearance...
