Some in the market of pneumatic weaponslook for a powerful rifle, and someone is looking for the cheapest option with great opportunities for improvements. Of a worthy weapon is cheaper than a pneumatic rifle MP-512 "Baikal", nothing will be found. This is evidenced by hundreds of reviews not only of owners, but also of sellers - "mukka", that's what gunsmiths call each other, the best choice for any beginner who wants to save money and get a rifle with great potential for improvement.
Spring-piston air rifle IZHThe MP-512 was developed at the end of the 20th century by a Russian concern with one goal: to provide the market with an inexpensive weapon that can compete with more expensive foreign-made counterparts due to its low price. Thanks to the simplicity of the device and the possibility of improvement, the rifle quickly appeared fans. Since 1998, the manufacturer has introduced a number of modifications of the "mirka" on the market. Hoping to attract consumers of an expensive segment, manufacturers offered enhanced versions of the "magnum" class; trying to achieve attractiveness, not only updated weapons design and description to it. But judging by the opinions of many air gun vendors, consumers primarily attract the cheapest and original sample of the remarkable Russian rifle MP-512.
In the factory version, a pneumatic rifleMP-512 for hunting enthusiasts is unlikely to fit. Her tactical and technical characteristics leave much to be desired. This is no wonder, because its primary purpose is sport shooting. The speed of the pulley with a caliber of 4.5 mm in the light version of the MP-512C is only 105 m / s, the standard version is 150 m / s, and the reinforced version of the MP-512M is 190 m / s. The question arises as to why it is so popular among fans of pneumatic weapons.
To understand the markings, you need to know thatthe design of the rifle depends on their digital part, and the letters are responsible for the power. Let the buyer does not confuse a large number of modifications, in fact, there are not so many. The manufacturer often produces weapons with different markings, without making any changes to the design. On the official website, this is called "restyling", which is aimed at attracting a new buyer. In the market you can find 4 types of rifles, differing in appearance and description.
Since the rifle has a spring-pistonmechanism, then first of all this component is strengthened. Of course, if you have a reinforced air rifle MR-512 22 on your hands, then this paragraph should be skipped, for the rest there are two options. Or to install a more powerful spring (for example, Gamo Hinter 440), pre-filling the groove in the piston, where it is installed, with epoxy resin. The groove is made for a strong retention of the spring in the piston, but it is not entirely clear what the manufacturer was thinking about, boring it, because the spring is not going anywhere from the piston. Of course, there is a possibility that, due to long use, the edge of the spring may turn up and jam, but if the weapon is to be serviced in a timely manner, nothing of the kind will happen.
The air rifle MP-512 is often amplifiedinstallation of a gas spring. Along with high power, the weapon receives less return, which greatly affects the accuracy of the shooting. Such weapons can be installed without fear of installing the cheapest optics, not being afraid that strong feedback will damage the glass during operation.
In fact, there are several dozensmodernization of weapons, which improve the tactical and technical characteristics of the rifle. The pneumatic rifle MR-512 is subjected not only to changing the spring and filling the piston groove. Complex methods of refinement require additional knowledge in physics, processing of metals by cutting and sopromate. Below you can find a list of possible rework.
Like any expensive weapon of foreignproduction, the pneumatic rifle MR-512 has a dovetail attachment with a width of 11 mm. Accordingly, you can install any optics on the weapon. In general, optical sights are very popular. You can also install a collimator. The main thing - remember that when installing a reinforced spring there is a huge recoil, which quickly enough to destroy the glass mounts in the optical sight. When buying, you need to pay attention to devices equipped with special compensators, which hold the glass when giving in two directions.
Often, sellers in stores specify where will beused optics, and offer the right device. If the weapon will be used only as entertainment, you can install a laser sight. With him, shooting is quite interesting.
