Re: Hammerli 208 optic mount

I had Roddy Toyota drill and tap my Hammerli for a .22 tip-off rail. Worked great for an Ultradot, fixed to the barrel it was very consistent. Cost was lower much than the Larry’s mount as well.

Re: DIY tungsten weights for Pardini?

At one point I bought six tungsten rods on eBay, I think 3/8” - 1.5”. They were slightly too large diameter so @sakurama turned them down for me on his lathe. Machining tungsten is no picnic and the surface didn’t come out great (feed & speed wasn’t right I guess.) Anyway it mostly made the barr...

Re: freETarget

If you can’t find a 3D printer between friends, your library, etc there are also inexpensive online services like Shapeways. You just upload your file, specify what you’d like it made of and get it mailed. Many on target talk have printers too, I’m sure if you posted asking someone would help you ou...

Re: School me on scopes for BE

I’ve used various Ultradots over the years and still have a 1” on a backup gun.I had an Ultradot die during a match on me - not the battery, something fell apart inside. It was weird, just mounted on a .22 so it must’ve been a bad unit. Ultradot West fixed it but it was a bummer anyway. I’ll say the...

Re: Pardini SP-HP 3D printed accessories

I 3D printed a similar bracket for my Scatt Mx-02 but found that it wouldn’t reliably pick up the shot when dry-firing. Is that working for you?

I ended up just using the stock aluminum bracket with a long strap or the barrel insert mount.

Re: Pardini Questions and Answers

I just bought SPBE. They told me not to leave the chamber dry fire plug in the pistol or it will shorten the spring. If You take it out you will either have to leave it cocked or snap the trigger. Will it hurt it to snap the trigger after dry fire practice. I’ve kept mine with the dry fire plug in ...

Re: Shoulder Replacement

I had surgery for instability of my left shoulder two months ago. I had torn labrum and a bony Bankart lesion (fracture of scapula.) When moving my shoulder in certain ways it would dislocate and I had pain when extending the arm as if to shoot (though I shoot with my arm pretty flat to my shoulders...

Re: Solution For Tearing Target Holes / Tear Drops?

At my club we solved that problem by ditching the American targets & buying Kruger. Backers didn't help much and the Krugers are excellent quality & weren't more expensive.

Re: Pardini counterweight recoil reduction system

As I understand it the whole point is that you can run 0, 2, 4, or 6 weights. Just pull some out.

Re: 22LR Dryfire training

When I had a model 41 I got sick of messing with snap caps & drywall anchors. Looking online I found ideas for several other solutions, the best was a block that fits in the recess in the bottom of the slide. I don’t have one anymore, but I made several when I figured it out & handed them ou...

Re: Latest and greatest on targets?

I get targets for my club straight from Kruger US. They're the nice paper and have the approval seals from NRA & USA Shooting. Last I looked they aren't any more expensive than the garbage-paper targets printed in the US.
