Merkel 500 ne

[Rare Breed]

The Krieghoff has a sharp edge to the rear trigger guard. I called Krieghoff in PA on the regulation ammo. And while talking to a gunsmith he recommended a rubber bumper they make. It’s being shipped.
But the recoil to the shoulder feels less than my browning 7 Rem mag. Weight and stock I would imagine

been there done that given your picture…make your grip an inch back with a “good” grip not killer grin and the finger torture goes away…i found you do not want a finger “bumper”. when hunting DG the less to think about the better…said from experience

Have you identified the issue?

Haha late reply but still relevant. No they haven’t. 18 months now a part arrived but apparently wrong one. Apparently it needs a interceptor for front trigger to block it wen firing back trigger first

Sounds like a dasign flaw. Sell it with full disclosure and buy a Heym.

Well just a boring update. Almost 3 years now waiting for 500 ne Merkel to be fixed under warranty. Do not by large cal Merkel doubles. Merkel says gun is fine just pull front trigger first. I pointed out if I have solid in one barrel and soft in other I may need to chose which trigger I’m pulling. Gun smith at the Australian importer is modifying by adding a Block to front trigger ghat is identical to the factory block they have on rear trigger. So this should be a fix. The most annoying thing is Merkel’s attitude, they just don’t care.

That's frustrating. That is MORE than enough time to address a trigger issue. Their solution is saying to treat it like a single trigger gun. That's not an adequate response.

I wish we could make a stickie of these threads. People buy doubles, suffer frustrations and conclude they are unsafe or unreliable, then they buy a Heym.

When the conventions were over a few years back Merkel dumped all their demo guns from the show for $5800-$6800. That’s about what they are worth allowing for the nonsense that accompanies them.
