Pardini SPE Ransom Rest Insers

Folks, Ebay has listed a set of Ransom Rest inserts for a Pardini SPE. They include the metal adapter to attach to the grip frame before inserting in the rubber adapters. Info states they are marked Don Nygord. Don't remember if Don ever had these made for sale. They look about new. No bids yet, st...

I'm in about the same position. I've got my 4 screw K-38 that I used for Center Fire, when I was shooting PTO's, before Fulton Co, GA closed down Wolf Creek. I've always lusted after a K-32, but thought I had gotten over it, since lately my shooting has been NRA Bullseye, and I've been using my 1911...

Robert, I did as you suggested, and e-mailed Deanna. I also asked her about the possibility of importing one myself, directly from the Czech Republic, using a Form 7(casual importation). I've done this in the past, to buy my TOZ, from a mail order house in Germany, back before the Euro replaced the ...

The best targets, in descending order, in my opinion, are Edelmann, Kruger, Cibles, National, and American. The first two are German, the last three are American, with the last two being U.S. made, (the Cibles are Canadian). The most cost-effective are the American Target Co.targets. I use them for ...

MSC Industrial has 14mID x2mCS O-rings in both Buna-N for $13.34, and Viton for $21.00. These prices are for a bag of 100pcs. I believe Buna-N, a type of Neoprene, is what you're looking for. The difference in cross section of .2mm is less than .008" hardly significant in an O-ring. Below is a ...

Oldcaster, I'm looking at the Benelli adapter. The critical dimension, as far as the gun fit goes, is to keep the radius where the frame is pulled down on the top, square with the block, with a close fit. I used a 1/8" wide blade on my bandsaw to accomplish this, checking with a square. The hol...

I've made adapters for all my int pistols. My first was for my first FP, a Drulov 75. I've also made them for my IZH 35, Benelli MP95, as well as for my TOZ. The Dulov and Benelli use the existing grip drawbolts which simply bolt to maple blocks shaped like a 1911 frame, and fit a 1911 adapter. The ...

A few mos. ago, I purchased on line, two alkaline 15v.batteries for my 162e. I've lost the site(vendor), but the batteries are marked GP220A.

If you'll Google this(GP220A), you'll find a list of vendors.

The front sight is held in by an obvious Allen screw at the front. The rear sight blade is held in by a grub screw in the hollow in the left side of the pin that carries the blade. You'll probably have to remove the grips to slide the blade out, this will maintain sight adjustment, or you can raise ...

When you bring the tank in to be filled, you can specify to what pressure. If they've filled it to max., just have them bleed it off to what you're comfortable with, before leaving the store. Safer than taking care not to overfill the pistol tank until the SCUBA tank pressure drops.
