Benellimelody Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 I bought an MX3c at the weekend. Seems a lovely gun for its age in terms of condition and handles very nicely. Can't wait to give it a proper go on the pigeons. I did think I had given it a good once over before buying but I have now noticed is if you shake it, there's a rattle as if the pins are loose. If I put 2 empty cartridges In the chambers and then dry fire and open the breach and then try shaking again the rattle is gone. It therefore must be the pins? And does this matter,,,,can it be resolved? Also it is a multichoke, and can anyone advise of where I can get aftermarket chokes or sh perazzi ones? It currently has a skeet and a 5? Which I was informed was a quarter? Many thanks for reading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingman Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 (edited) Hi mate welcome to the perazzi club! I bought an MT6 last year and it's quickly become my main clay gun absolutely love it. I can't comment on the rattle I had mine completely stripped and serviced pretty soon after I got it, and they did replace the firing pins and springs. I would take it back to where you bought it or get a gunsmith to look over it for you. As for chokes perazzi chokes are a bit confusing but i think yours may use the Gen 2 ones the same as mine with the thread at the bottom and a ridge machined in at the top of the threaded part. Either way teague sell after markets best bet is to call them and ask for advice. Mine uses the MX4C chokes available on teague website. Good luck with it let us know how you get on, and some pics would be good!! This may help Edited July 31, 2017 by Wingman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingman Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 Choke no 5 is nearer modified according to my info obviously relative to bore size... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 I can't enlighten you on the rattle either, although I doubt it is anything major. Call the dealer you bought it from and ask. I have the MX4C; it is my go to gun for everything; game, clays, decoying, bolting bunnies etc etc, to the extent I'm considering having a clear out. They just handle so well in my opinion. Enjoy.

Paul1440 Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 (edited) I suspect the rattle is the cocking rod that sits at the bottom of the reciever. (You will see it as a silver strip) If the hammers are cocked it is free to move. Once the hammer/s are dropped the slack is taKen up by the cocking cam in the forend and the bottom of the hammers. it's not a fault it's just how they work.

Benellimelody Posted August 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Thanks for all the replies. They are all very interesting and helpful. Wingman - they are the 2nd generation chokes, I will have a look at the Teague site. I took the gun out yesterday and managed to get a couple hours on a flight line. I put about 50 shells through it without any issues. It handles very nice and is very responsive and pointable. The skeet choke is obviously lacking a bit for flighting pigeons but the strong winds kept them down a touch and then I switched chokes to shoot the bottom barrel first and had the modified choke in. I shot about 20 pigeons so not brilliant but not a disaster. I did find my cheek took a bit ov a knocking mind and was a bit sore afterwards and have never experienced this before, even after firing a few hundred shells.... it was mainly with the 32 gram cartridges.

I have quite a few of them, might be able to sort you out with something tighter... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
