Re: Bullseye pistols for sale

Looks like my Interest here has spawned a scam reply in my PM's. Looks identical to others I've seen on other sites.

Re: Back into Bullseye after 12 years

I'm taking the plunge into the centerfire portion. I recently did a MCarbo spring change on my cz75. Reduced my pull close to 50%. Hardly a match gun but it'll be fun.

I've been using Tac-22 in my Benelli MP90S. Works flawlessly and it's cheap. I bought 5 cases last year when it was $299/case.

Back into Bullseye after 12 years

I thought my BE days were over. When I moved to Charleston, I was unaware of any leagues in the area. I considered selling my Benelli MP90S and StrongBox but I never pulled the trigger. Then a few months ago, I started shooting .22 Rimfire rifles and met a guy who introduced me to matches at a priva...

Re: Resurrecting dated premium ammo

I recently started using some ammo that was around 15 years old. The Lapua OSP is still excellent. The SK Standard Plus is la shotgun pattern. Lol

Update --

I sent out the trigger group to LGI. He looked it over and it's fine. I put the gun back together and it was the same thing -- jams every 5-10 shots!!! Grasping at straws, I tried another firing pin and viola-- it has not misfired in over 200 rounds. Go figure...

I'm pretty certain i may have incurred more damage than I originally suspected. A friend and I tore it apart today multiple times and shot quite a few rounds. We were able to duplicate the error by pulling the slide back partially. By doing so, we could see why some rounds weren't feeding properly. ...

Tomorrow I'm going to remove the pin and be doubly sure it is debris free in there. I appreciate all the suggestions.

I smoothed out the burrs but it is still misfeeding. I feel sick, this gun had been absolutely flawless until just a few days ago.

The buffer is fine but I think I spotted the cause -- there are a few burrs on the part of the slide where the firing pin is. I'll try to address that issue and see where I'm at.

But it never had jamming issues until I replaced the broken firing pin. I must have put over 7500 rounds through her in the last 8 months or so. It had been flawless up until a few days ago. Also, I have 6 mags, it doesn't appear to be jamming mag specific.

OK, I took a closer look at the problem this morning. It is not the extractor. In fact all of the jams have been because it's not feeding live rounds properly. It doesn't do it each time, but it happens every 5-10 shots. All of the jams are consistent -- the casings are getting squished with the bul...

Uh oh, this gun had been flawless for the last 6 months or so until breaking that firing pin. I thought everything was fine with the new pin BUT now there is suddenly a problem with jams. This can't be a coincidence. Could I have screwed something up with the extractor/ejector while installing the n...

I installed the new firing pin today. It was actually easy to do (even for a mechanically challenged person like myself). Thanks for the advice.

Benelli mp90s firing pin

So I managed to break a firing pin tonight. I do have a spare but I'm not certain how to replace it. When looking down at the bolt I can see that the pin needs to seat in front of the leaf spring. The problem i'm having is that when I place the pin with the bevel down (not visible) , the pin doesn't...

Re: Larry's Mount

Does anyone know if Larry's Ultimate Mount will also fit on the older model Benelli MP-90/95's that have the rail? I currently am using a small TruGlo (Doctor style) sight mounted on the factory rail just forward of the ejection port. It does not interfere with ejection and has worked out great. I'...
