MORINI PISTOL FAULT
HI I AM A NEW MEMBER TO TARGET TALK. I OWN A MORINI A/P AIR POWERED. RECENTLY IT FAILED ON ME, I DID A STRIP - DOWN & FOUND THAT A SMALL STEEL ROD WITH A BLACK NYLON END PIECE HAD BECOME DAMAGED (THE NYLON HAD BECOME CRUSHED) AS IT APPEARED TO HAVE BEEN PUSHED INTO THE VALVE CHAMBER. I BOUGHT A NEW ONE FROM A SPARES AGENT & THIS DID THE SAME THING WITHIN 5 SHOTS. ANY BODY GOT ANY IDEAS OR CAN YOU OFFER A SOLUTION. THE PISTOL HAS NOT BEEN OVER CHARGED AT ANY TIME , AND WORKED FINE FOR A YEAR. I WAS NOT ITS FIRST OWNER BUT IT HAD BEEN SERVICED BY A BRITISH AGENT PRIOR TO MY NBUYING IT.

Morini Pistol Fault
I would have loved to read what David Levene had to say about the Morini problem mentioned....
And , why did'nt the new owner contact the Morini people with a view to sending them the gun for checkup and overhaul ??

It wasn't rocket science, merely giving him a couple of suggestions of who to contact in the UK with the expertise to fix his gun.Elmas wrote:I would have loved to read what David Levene had to say about the Morini problem mentioned....
I have a Morini 162EI and a Steyr LP5. The most work I have ever done on either is to change the batteries on the Morini and the cylinder mounting O-ring on the Steyr. I have never even taken the grip off the Morini.
I am a firm believer that guns should only be serviced by people who REALLY know what they are doing with them. This is gun specific. I would have no qualms about stripping a FAS 601/2/3/7 down to the last pin, spring and screw. I know those guns inside out, I haven't got the faintest idea on the 162EI or the LP5.
