.22 Air Pistol 6 Yard MPL Postal Competition.

[zooma]

In the way of a 'bump' for interest in the .22 MPL competition - but I do have a question for the kindly organisers:

I think I need to put my .22 Tempest on the substitute's bench.

I would stick with it, but during the Feb match cards it stopped deiseling, which you may think sounds 'good', but it is actually 'bad', because it now has very little power... not enough to put clean holes in the match cards. And it's become (even more of) a mare to shoot.

Am I right in thinking I can use a different pistol for March etc?

And is a Webley Nemesis (SSP) in .22 an eligible pistol for the comp?

I think it is, and I hope it is, as I've bought one (awaiting delivery).


TIA - Phil

No problem with Nemesis Phil.

All spring powered and SSP air pistols are legal for use in the MPL.

I was wondering when somebody would come up with a recoilless .22 and I thought the first one would be an Alecto but it is an older member of the Webley family that will be the first to take that honour!

Once the Nemesis is in action you may like to take a peek inside the Tempest to see if it needs new seals..or even a spring perhaps?

Then you will have a nice choice of .22 MPL pistols at your disposal.
