Re: MG1E air leak

Installed a 7x1.5mm and could not fill it up to the max as it would leak due to the pressure build up. Will have the adaptor remachined to accomodate a more common 7x2mm
Thanks for sharing

Re: Help stripping a Morini 162ei

Hi Muffo. Air pistols are difficult to get by in the Philippines. So repairing it ourselves is key. I am helping a friend repair his leaking Morini 162 (ca. early 2000 I believe). I am trying to remove the regulator via a c-span but couldn't unscrew it inspite of considerable effort. I saw this thre...

Re: Pardini Conversion Units

Hi. A bit off but can anyone please share a picture of a Pardini shot group done via machine rest? I have seen Walthers and MG groups but never from Pardini .22's and .32's

Re: MG1E air leak

Hi. I'm helping a friend with his MG1. I think its the regulator that is leaking. I have experience opening steyrs and FWB's but not Matchguns. Can someone please tell me where to start and what usually is the damage?

I would appreciate your help.

Thanks

Re: Pardini Questions and Answers

Hi, I am helping a friend in fixing her K10. She says she had her tank sent to Pardini Italy and having spent so much on postage and taxes, the tanks are still malfunctioning with leaks and now it could not get loaded with air (I have not touched it so far). Also, I noticed her regulator (the washer...

Re: Keeping Calm

I am truly hoping not to jinx this thread, but this has got to be the most informative AND nicest (with all the respectful opinions) thread in Targettalk.org
I have been shooting since the early 80's and am still learning quite a bit from this thread. Kudos to all of you.

trigger adjustment

Hi, I have an SP-New RF and I could not quite adjust the trigger to my liking. I have tried our local shooter's trigger on his Pardini, and he got it right(to my preference) ....about 500 grams on the first stage and probably 600 on the second. He tried doing my trigger but could not lower the first...

Re: Are there reports of catastrophic cylinder failures??

Hi. I am from the Philippines. I would like share that a friend of mine had a first owned FWB C-25 (CO2) which uses a tank that is shaped like a grenade. I am fairly sure that the unit was no more than 5 years old at the time that it exploded. It was a usual summer day of about 33 degrees C in the c...

Hello SamEEE,
Good day.
A bit off topic as I could not inquire via PM.
I'd like to find out more about the target retrievers in the pictures above. Who makes it and at what price.
Thanks and have a good day

barrel vibration dampeners tuners

Hi. I shoot the pistol events but I would like to satisfy my curiosity with what I have been seeing to be getting more popular...the use of vibration dampeners attached to .22 LR rifles. The shooters swear by it. What do you guys think? I have been dabbling with air rifle bench rest shooting as well...

Hi. I can't seem to find a topic regarding the removal/replacement of the firing pin of the old Walther GSP. A friend tried to dislodge the retainer (?) pins on the bolt but had a difficult time doing so. I understand from my old Walther that one pin goes one way and the other goes another. Which is...

finger shake

Try this. Shoot 5 shots at a blank wall, with pellets. 10 meter distance. Observe safety. If you are able to do this without the shake, that would show that you can actually do it. Therefore, if the shaking happens as you shoot on your targets, then I would assume that you may be anticipating your s...

rifle pistol pellets

My thoughts. I have done velocity adjustments while the gun is clamped/vised since 20 or so years ago when I had my C20. I did this because I wanted to see how accurate the gun was with RWS and the H&N ammos I had and was surprised that such ammos produced 8 -10mm groups, way more than the small...
