I just had joy on this topic in another forum (24hrcampfire) and apparently Merkel do recognise the problem and have replacement sears and interrupters (?), and there is a guy from the importers in the US who can make the replacement. Trouble is I'm in Australia but I'll go back to our importers now with the "extra ammo" and see if they can come to the party.

I'm suprised that the 9.3x74R would double, must be a really sentitive front trigger. The 500NE fortunately doesn't have the auto safety - not a good idea for an auto safety on a dangerous game cartridge.




The front set trigger on the 9.3x74R when “Set” probably has a pull weight of an ounce or less. It bas a decent hunting pull weight when not “Set”.... The rifle shoots fine so long as one fires right barrel then left barrel in that order, whether you elect to set the front trigger or not. I’ve gone and pulled it out of the safe and report back here with the build date proofs = “BAC”.... 1, 0, 2.... So, January, 2002.... Nice little rifle. Side clips, cocking indicators, tastefully engraved, stag game scene on left, wild boar scene on right.

I also had a 140AE in .470 that doubled at least twice on me during the two years I owned it, although the recoil was so impressive, I can’t recall the details of what exactly happened.
