Pardini Source

There is a dearth of information about Pardini guns ever since the death of Don Nygord. The current USA dealer is Larry's Guns and the Canadian dealer is North Silva Co. The former has no information (photos, prices, parts, support, etc.) about Pardini air pistols on his website and the latter does ...

A warning on the subject in plain English

I see mention of silencers, lead dust collectors, or whatever you wish to call them, on other airgun forums constantly. The articles vary from legal discussion (by non-legally trained individuals) to outright instructional missives. In the eyes of law enforcement the mere possession by an individual...

This attitude will not carry you very far

"idiots?"

With that attitude, I'd rather not be in line behind you at the airport. It could be a long - very long - wait. Or, perhaps only a very brief wait - as you are escorted from the line.

Looks that does sum it up

Yep - a pinwheel does do it for me also. The only thing better than a pinwheel is a whole bunch of pinwheels.

Not by the book, but..

I have a 6-meter target set against the wall on the other side of the office and shoot from my desk chair. It has proved useful for trigger control and for sight picture (focus on the front sight) work. It does allow me to do an extra 50-100 shots a day. It also keeps others from entering the office...

I have both

Both my K60 and my K2 are Co2 models. Differences: different cylinders - forget interchangability K2 has vented barrel. K2 comes with a compensator (I took it off and installed a Nygord Comp). My K2 is a short barrel version - recommended by Don Nygord. It uses both the short or standard cylinders (...

Pardini K2

I have a K2 and it is vented along the barrel. I also have a Nygord compensator on it. There is no movement when it is fired. Must be a good combination.

In a word - no

Each uses its own threading and diameters. Only the Anschutz and Steyr enjoy interchangeability. That is due to the fact they are basically the same guns. Even between some models of the same brand there are differences.

Standards would be great - but I doubt if we will see this happening.

I enjoy my Pardini K2

Although not sold by our host, I enjoy my Pardini K2 very much. I bought it from the late Don Nygord. It is a short barrel version, however can use either the long or shot cylinders (I have both). The Pardini has enjoyed many big match wins, however, the Morini seems to be more popular at this time....

standing on the top of this 10 foot tall step ladder, trying to balance and shoot at the same time. And, I am very afraid of heights - so I hollered for Arlene to come and grab the ladder to hold it still. Well, she came bounding down the hall and around the corner, grabbed the ladder to stop hersel...

Groups?

Shoot groups, then move them around with sight adjustments. All that locking the pistol down will prove is that it can shoot "one holers." You cannot set your sights that way, as the sight picture will change as soon as you pick the gun up to properly hold it. Am I missing something here o...

Not paint thinner

I am not famialier with the chemistry of this stuff, but I don't think paint thinner would do anything to it. You might try lacquer thinner or acetone - but be very careful, they are very combustable. Also, acetone will take the oils from your skin in a heartbeat. If they were mine, I think I would ...

Visit you dentist

See if you can get a few "worn out" dental picks from him. Certain picks work great for such chores. They are also very good for other small work around guns and electronics.

I even have a couple that I reshaped and use for o-ring removal and installation.

Go to a bicycle shop

Pin spanners are used to work on bicycles. Take the cylinder with you so you can be sure you get a spanner with pins that will fit well.

BE SURE THE CYLINDER IS EMPTY!!!!!!!! Before you try to open it.

Try this

Before you screw the cylinder on make sure you have cocked the gun. If that is not the problem then try this: Inside the cylinder there is a seal you can see when looking into same. See if it is damaged. If not, then apply a very small amount of silicon lubricant to that seal. Then screw the filled ...

lubricant is available from Pardini

I use a silicon based product from Pardini as my primary lubricant on airguns. It comes in small white tubes and is used very sparingly on the internals of the airgun (regardless of what type the gun is). The internals being any place involving air pressure and where smooth operation is required. It...
