I have never shouldered a P gun that didn't come up nice. Can't say that about CG, K or Kol guns. Nice guns but different. I've only shouldered one Blaser F3 and that was really nice.
I had an early 80s MX3 skeet with Kolar tubes that I loved and foolishly sold 35yr ago. Last year finally found the exact gun for sale except with old Briley tubes. Bought it and upgraded to new Ultralight tubes. Was like reuniting with an old friend.
On other matters, I contacted Don Rackley 2 weeks ago about what I thought was a needed lock bolt replacement o the MX3. He said he would be out of town last week but send gun for M/T delivery this week and he would turn it around within a day or two. I sent it to him with instructions to do whatever was needed. I was expecting $600+\-
Gun arrived yesterday, he called me today to say the bolt is fine the issue is someone replaced the lever Spring with one that was too weak and over the last year of heavy shooting the spring just got weaker and wasn't holding the lever in place. Also said the trigger was originally a release trigger that someone converted (incorrectly) to P/P. Fixed that and made a few other small fixes. He said the gun is as good as new.
He could have soaked me for $600+\- and I never would have known and instead it's likely under $200 with shipping and he is sending it back today.
For comparison, I called Giacommo before Don and the expected repair slot was mid September.
