Pardini K60

I have a K60 in need of repair. Pilkington is, sadly, unable to do anything with it and I wondered if anyone on the forum knew of a specialist in K60s.

Isn't the new American Pardini distributor in Florida. I'm sure they could help you.

You are correct.

Vlad is a very nice man and is obviously very busy with his business. We have been unable to connect to find whether the gun can be rebuilt.

I am concerned that I bought a VERY expensive paper weight... :-(

That's not a good sign, especially if someone wants too sell more guns. They really need to take care of the existing ones. What's exactly wrong with it?

Vladimir and I spoke today and he is going to talk to the factory in Italy...

Issue is the seals are leaking in the gun and in the cylinders. The cylinders are way out of date for pressure testing and may not be eligible for testing. Big problem.

I wasn't aware that ANY testing was necessary for the CO2 cylinders. The seals are metric O-rings; they should be easily commercially available.

Pilk sold a bunch of K60s. I'm not sure why there would be a problem with repairs.

I bought the main o-ring that goes in the cylinder from Mac-1 in California quite reasonably. Tim McMurry is apparently well versed in CO2. A reseal kit is around 40.00 and gives you just one (1) of the large tank seals, which I think is the most common to go. I think I paid $10 for four of the seals including shipping to VT.
