Re: Old vs new Pardini

The older SP I had came with an adjustable grip just like my new SP. Comparing my old SP with my new SP that has tungsten weights we didn't see any benefit getting a new one. The only difference between my two. You can't adjust the 1st stage trigger pull on the older guns as they don't have an adjus...

Pardini dry fire plugs

I seem to have "misplaced" the black plug shortly after getting a new .22 SP, are they an improvement over using plastic drywall anchors in the SP ?

Re: Pardini SP: Trigger has stopped running smoothly

My almost new SP recently started also started "feeling rough" at the start of the 2nd stage.
Today I applied moly grease following Pardini's recommendation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aR1nD387EhA
Instantly feels normal again.

Re: Has anyone slugged the 32 barrel on a Sako Triace?

I always wondered if the triggers on a Triace were quickly adjustable for CF, SP and RF or were you using 1360g for everything?

Anyone had any experience using one of these on Olympic type pistols, good or bad?
A friend is in the process of fitting one on his Hammerli 280, more on that later, anyone else?

Re: Oiling Top Round in Semi-Auto Magazines?

My Pardini SP is more reliable when clean than when I oil the top round, usually I shoot CCI SV but I have had occasional bad boxes in some cases that just didn't function so I turfed them, then different boxes were fine.

Using Megalink target system?

I have been focusing on the front sight before raising my pistol to shoot in SP, CF & RF as recommended by Skanaker, works well for turning targets and audio set ups. I used the Megalink system in Calgary for the first time and found myself having to look at the target area to see the lights to ...

Re: Who shoots other disciplines?

One multidisciplined shooter that comes to mind shot in four Olympic games on Canada's pistol team and later became a match winner in IPSC events and rifle.
Not sure how he found time to do all this as well as being a doctor and author. Dr. Jules Sobrian. Google him, interesting.

Thanks for the pics Leon, confirms that, indeed, my 607 has a complete buffer and was already good to go. Tried a few different brands of ammunition, CCI std vel doesn't even fit in the mag, just too long, settled on S&B sv as its 1mm shorter than CCI. First time shooting, I am really impressed ...

Re: Material for an FAS 607 Pistol?

When I "stripped" the 607 I expected to see a buffer pad similar to the ones on Pardini SPs, visible, at the rear of the slide. At the rear of the 607s "aluminum" reciever I can see a rectangular steel (magnetic) piece with a hole in the middle that aligns with the back of the fi...
