Re: Why do the Olympic targets say "Omega"?

Advertising for Omega watches. They provide timing systems for any event that time is used.

Re: Sensive Trigger on Morini 162 E

It all depends on personal preference. What works for me, may tank your scores. I've shot in leagues where the best scores were shot by an athlete using a revolver and iron sights. You can buy only so many points, you have to shoot the rest.

Re: Pardini SP or SP1 Question?

I have one that must be a unicorn, because it works flawlessly. I think most of the problems encountered were either mis-adjustment of the trigger and/or dirt entering the microswitch. With that said, the biggest advantage in my opinion is that there is no difference in trigger weight after the sear...

Try musket cases if you need something long.

Re: What is this part called?

Looks to be functionally equivalent to a Centra Final-Kit. Maybe custom made.

Re: Aluminum pellets

I heard somewhere the 'low lead' has 5x the amount of lead even the highest auto gas ever had. Aviation gas (100Low Lead) has .56 grams per liter. In 1972 the regular gasoline for autos had 2 grams per gallon (or about 1 gram per Liter). Keep pellets out of your mouth, and wash up after shooting, a...

Re: Pardini SP Electronic Failure

Pardini offered for some years (maybe not any more?) a switch of frames: New mechanical-trigger-frames were offered to replace E-frames, by the importer to a given country. The same serial number was hammered onto the new frames by importer.The replaced E-frames were then destroyed by importer. Whe...

Re: Pardini SP Electronic Failure

Never had that particular problem. Change batteries, use only alkaline (Energizer, Duracell, etc.) Make sure all contacts are clean. (do not use abrasives) You can try cleaning the microswitch with QD Electronic parts cleaning spray. (Never use any lubricant in a Pardini SPE) If the above doesn't wo...

Re: Recommended Bullseye Pistol for intermediate pistol shooter?

Since you didn't include the usual request of "the cheapest" .22 - Pardini. More accurate than you'll ever be, great ergonomics, and super reliability. CF - Pardini HP. Same reasons and easier to shoot than .45 for the CF match .45 - If you want off the shelf...Accuracy X. Otherwise pick a...

Re: Benefits of dry fire

When you shoot with a pellet, there is movement in the sights, no matter how good your venting/absorber works. That movement masks the minor mistakes you make. When you can dry fire and you feel the click, with no sight movement, you are good to go. I dry fire every time I shoot, and don't load a p...
