Merkel issue
I picked up a Merkel 140 in 470 at the DSC show. I took it to the range for my first session and the right barrel would not fire. I can see the firing pin on left side but not on the right. anyone else experience this? Where is best place to have it looked at.

Sounds like the firing pin broke. I would send it to Aaron Little.

Contact Merkel, if it's new, they should warranty the firing pin.

Contact Einar Hoff, your Merkel representative, at Steyr Arms in Bessemer, Alabama. They'll take care of you.
