Pardini K58 maintenance

I just bought a like new K58 sold by Nygord in '04. Included with some allen wrenches was an unopened white tube. I punctured the tip and it contains clear grease. There is nothing in the booklet that came with the pistol about lubrication or what to do with this grease which they saw fit to include...

I know it's a bit late to be replying to this, but since I shoot left handed (because of my bad right eye), isn't this offset a bad thing? Shouldn't I at least try to center the trigger for left hand use? I hadn't noticed the trigger offset because the stock grip forces me to shoot right handed. Whe...

Thanks, Fred. I'll try that.

I tried waiting a few seconds before the compression stroke, but couldn't tell any difference. It's hard to believe this could make a difference anyway; I wasn't trying to go fast.

No operator error. Read my post. If he responds he will say what I said he says, and that I'm crazy. Who cares. He doesn't tell the truth.

No more from me on this subject. People can believe me or not.

You guys must not be able to read, or comprehend what you read. The only reason I sent it back was because I was unwilling to lie to the guy, Tom, who was buying it from me. You are right that it's his word against mine. He lies. By your reasoning anyone who buys anything used that is not as adverti...

Come on, David. "As is" is as it's advertised "seems fine mechanically, shoots very well". The guy was lying. I had nothing to gain by sending it back, I lost money by not also being dishonest and selling it to the next guy "as is", even though I knew it wasn't right. W...

An FWB65 was advertised "This one seems fine mechanically, shoots very well, but has a few cosmetic issues." I bought it. When I received it my arthritis was especially bad and I was having trouble cocking it, so I contacted the next person in line to buy it and he agreed to pay what I pai...

How can I make sure it's fully charged? I haven't bought a chronograph yet. Should a gun only fired a couple of hundred times need to have the seals replaced?

This is why I asked, to get this kind of feedback. Thanks.

That's what I'm asking, if there is anything I can do. The BST forum is for that purpose. As I understand it, if I'm not buying, selling or trading, I shouldn't be posting there. I'm not out that much, $30 shipping, but the guy is dishonest. Of course, he denies it.

Bad Experience on Buy, Sell, Trade

If I feel that a seller, who regularly posts things for sale here, was unethical in his dealings with me, can I warn others? There seems to be no way to leave feedback.

IZH 46M sight problem

I just bought a slightly used (verifiable) 46 and am unable to adjust the rear sight high enough; it's at the end of its travel and needs more. Before I start filing the front sight blade down, has anyone else had this problem? I'm using RWS Hobby pellets, if it matters.

Thanks for the information. I didn't know how to search on google this way. I knew I must be doing something wrong on the site, although I did try the different search options.

search function

The search function seems useless. I type in "model and 41" and get 1590 items, most of which are totally irrelevant. I have no trouble using the search function on other sites. I can read and follow instructions. What am I doing wrong, or does the search function just not work here?

This is more evidence to not believe everything you read. It seems there was something wrong with the gun evaluated here http://www.pyramydair.com/blog/2006/03/izh-46-target-pistol.html It was a very positive review except for the part about dry firing.

From a Pyramyd Air Report: "But the dry-fire feature on the 46 requires you to cock the action by lifting up on the breech cover, then push it closed to the locked position for every shot. Other 10-meter pistols are very light and smooth in dry-fire. The 46 fights you every step of the way. On ...

Looking at specifications for cocking effort, the FWB 65 requires 12 lb., the IZH 18 lb.[/i]

I just ordered a set of left hand Herrett's Nationals for my model 41 for $56.50 delivered. They don't have a website. Their number is 309-289-2700. Great people to deal with for bullseye pistol.
