A little tid-bit I found long ago. Slug your barrel. I have a Walther that has a barrel that measures .3163". No wonder I had problems shooting .312" DEWC. Once I started casting my own to suit, that particular problem stopped. I'm not saying that you need to start casting, just that if yo...

My wife has the pelican, and I have a Storm. We think that the Storm is better, only because the Pelican latches can be a brute to operate.
As far as protection goes, I think they're both about the same. Others might disagree.

Hope this helps.

Mark Yes, I'm waiting for the let-down. It just seems that every time I pick it up, I shoot a PB. I know this can't go on forever. It goes without saying that yes, I am training rapid with it. I just haven't shot a match with it yet, so I can't throw out any numbers. I'm afraid to say that my first ...

This thing just never ceases to amaze me. I'm close to 1500 rounds without a hiccup, and does this gun shoot. I've mentioned before how Std. wasn't my forte'. Last Std match at league, I beat my PB by 20 points, well this week, I added another 8. If this keeps up, I might just get to like Std. pisto...

Well, my wife and I have been shooting GSP's for better than 15 years. IMO these guns will eat just about anything you throw at them, some better than others. We shot CCI std vel. for many years. It just went bang every time. Then I started ransom-resting. CCI was the worst grouping ammo that I test...

I subscribe to the theory of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". My guns get cleaned only when they start to malfunction, or a week before a big match. I make sure that everything's working properly, and fouled like normal before an important match. I will pull a snake through the barrel on...

Well, there's certainly fields better suited for soccer in the area than that facility. Just look at the clean-up cost involved. It's my bet that they'll make soccer fields out of it, then once everyone forgets what used to be there, they'll put a subdivision on it. That's my story and I'm sticking ...

SWMBO (she who must be obeyed) has informed me that the electronic will be coming in with a small grip, which will then be transfered to the "old clunker"

What can I say?

Glad to hear that Paul. I ran that by M. and she might disagree with you though.
I wouldn't be surprised to see that electronic triggered MG2 in my safe soon.

Figures. I was just talking with Neal Stepp, and he has the MG2 Rapid-fire model in stock now. If I'd just waited for a couple of weeks. He says that he has an electronic trigger model on order, but has no idea when it'll show up.
They say patience is a virtue. I wouldn't know.

Is it my imagination, or is the windage adjustment marked backwards? Either way, I got her close. Beat my STD PB by close to 20 points the other night. Now for those that know me, know that I hate STD. And because I don't like it, I don't put much effort into it. If this keeps up, I might have to sh...

MG2 Impressions

Well, it's been a week since I picked up my new MG2. You know, it's taken me a year to get one here in the States, but the wait has been worth it. So far, I couldn't be happier. I've shot a couple of PB's, and it just feels good. I've put about 650/700 rounds of various makes of ammo, and it'll eat'...

Mike, I agree with drilling the heads off. By relieving the tension, it could very well loosen things up. If not, maybe you could get a pair of visegrips on the stubs, after getting some penetrating oil at the threads. Hope you get it without much more trouble. Sorry to hear about your MG2. I pick m...

Hey Mark.
My MG2 is in transit. I'll let you know when it gets here, probably Monday.

I'm not sure if Scott sells one or not. Check his site, then another place to look would be the post office, or an office supply store.

I'm not too surprised that you can squeeze a soft lead bullet down several thousands of an inch. At the low pressures we use, I don't see it being a huge danger, within reason. I have finally found one site that is selling new barrels for the GSP's to use for Bullseye. (http://www.sasktelwebsite.net...

Rebarreling a GSP .32

There a few places around that are replacing the barrels on the GSP's with different twist rates. What is the preferred rate, 1/10 or 1/12?

TIA

I started with a Pelican case. Of course it was too small for me so it became my wife’s, and I searched for a larger one. I ended up with a Storm and am very happy with it. Probably the biggest plus is the latches. The Pelican latches are a brute to undo. The Storms are a breeze, yet secure. I would...
