well i got my Marvel .22 conversion.... finally. im going to try some different ammo. i heard sometimes they are picky about what ammo runs in them. i picked up a few different brands. should i just load and burn them thru real fast to see how they feed and function? or should i shoot a few 5 shot groups and see what shoots the tightest group?
will be going today before work, local range is only 11 yards.
ill post some pics tonight of the targets and gun.
and if anyone is conserding a marvel conversion. be prepared to wait a long time. their customer service is really friggin slow. they dont check emails and you can call all week and may get them to answer once. they promissed id have it by Xmas. i ordered it early december. well i just got it on saturday. they redid the mags. instead of single stack metal they are double stack injection molded plastic. i ordered 2 mags and a buddy ordered 6 mags. $35 a piece, and none worked. tried in 7 different 1911's. when they were molded they either not square or when they cooled they cooled not square. it was a easy fix sanded the backstrap with 400 grit then 1200 grit for a bit and they work perfect. makes ya mad though you spent a bunch on a unit thats supposed to be the best. and it takes forever to get. along with the mags wont fall which involves sanding......
ill keep ya posted on the range report. check later. -chris
