A few months back I was yakking to a range buddy about how he really lucked in to his Pedersoli Kuechenreuter target pistol - bought for a hundred bucks from a dealer who knew DS about BP, and had it lying in an old orange box with a few non-matching accessories.
He told me that he had just had it repaired for the third time - the sear having just broken in two - again. The local dealer charged him a total of £130 - at the time $190 to do the repair.
I told him that -
a. that was outrageous, and
b. I was certain that I could get the part and fit it for much less.
To cut a long story short, I contacted Balasz Németh in Hungary, known here and on his Youtube channel as capandball, and got one sent to me here in yUK for less than thirty bucks.
A BIG plaudit for the Brothers and their great service [Kapszli.hu]
Fitting it took almost ten minutes, but we had already noticed what may have been contributory to the short life-span of this vital component. The mainspring is HORRENDOUSLY strong, and almost defeated the otherwise mighty grip of both of us in an effort to compress it to remove it.
Pedersoli - if you are reading this - please make 'em weaker! Mike is gradually thinning the spring down by gently taking material off each side with a stone.
