    With a supply of the "hi-hat" shaped seals being available - my only (very small) concern has been addressed !

    I agree with your summary of the pistol completely, and if I happen to stumble across one on my travels at the right price it may well end up coming home with me!

    Thanks for leting me photograph it for bobsairguns and for letting me have a go with it........now how do I prise that Pardini out of you for a similar venture? - if you prefer it to the Baikel it must be some performer!

    Thanks Steve,

    The Pardini will make a nice addition to bobsairguns to add even more interest and a deeper depth of subject for everyone to see.

    It will make an interesting contrast with the Pardini PCP pistol I added recently.

    It has been very hard trying to find and buy excellent examples of each type of match air pistol to picture and review for bobsairguns and sometimes heart wrenching to have to sell them to fund the next subject (especially when I may not personally like the next purchase as much as the one I had to let go to pay for it) so help from you by generously trusting me with the safe-keeping of your "pride and joy" is very much appreciated and saves me having to part with some of my favourite pistols to fund similar examples.

    The success of the MPL and the far reaching interest it has generated in all matters concerning spring powered and SSP pistols has made it even harder for me to find nice examples to work with at a reasonable price as well as causing some owners to keep their springers and SSP pistols when previously they may have parted with them - making it even more difficult to find nice and unusual models to picture and test.

    Thanks again for your help!

    I know Tuesday night is your ballet dancing classes night but why dont you give that a miss one night and bring it over yourself ? They dont bite at RMTC (unlike Christine )
    Don't worry I will drain any puddles so that your Chelsea Tractor doesn't get splashed.

    Your Chelsa tractor would be safe enough - most of the water is INSIDE our cellar range acting as a drain to keep the outside nice and dry!

    Oh, it wasn't an invite. It was a veiled threat. Come on. Come over in your C. T. Dont worry they have seen cars before in Rawtenstall even though they still point at the moon.
    There a good bunch and even you may get a brew.

    I never mentioned the 50p/cup charge and sugar @ 10p per lump! I'd hate to frighten Steve away. Hes tighter than a submarines door.
