Nice one, thank you BobOriginally Posted by zooma
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 make 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.(I always seem to be thanking you for one reason or another!
)
I'm quite excited, waiting for the Nemesis to arrive! (well, two Nemesis to be precise - a boy & a girl - if the .22 goes wrong, I guess I can transplant the .22 barrel on to the .177).
I remember when the Nemesis came out, and I've pretty much ignored them until now. I did have the odd few shots with them 'back in the day', and I remember they felt quite weighty & solid...
Here's another option for a .22 'MPL friendly' recoilless pistol - Weihrauch HW40 PCA! A quick bit of research, and yes, they do make them in .22 ... not my favorite airpistol, as I find the grip 'slippy', and I don't like the fibre optic sights for match cards (although they're great for dark backgrounds).
One concern with these .22 SSPs is will they have the FPS to cut clean wads out of match cards... if not, I'll be wishing I bought a .22 Alectro
Finally - yes Bob, I will be hoping to take the Tempest to bits (and buy it some wood grips - if I get it shooting straight). But it will take me a while to get around to it, as there are at least 4 other guns that need fixing or fettling in time for summer, and I'm not getting on with them either at present!
ATB, and good shooting - Phil
