That shop in Grossetto? is really great; I used to buy in bulk and sell back to friends in UK using my very bad Italian. Once when I visited the shop Marco Bardi was there and as I was with a UK team member he was very 'honoured' to have us there; I think someone in his family owns/runs shop. There used to be big guy with blonde hair who worked there and was very patient. Anyway if you decide to use this shop i'm sure you will be happy.

Yes that's it Spaniard. It's run by Marco Bardi's sister and two guys, and it's one of the best spearo shops in the country. I'm just not sure about them shipping items overseas.

They certainly used to ship to the UK but the only slight problem was I had to pay via bank transfer as they didn't do card transactions back then.

One funny thing about the shop: the story of the big wide crack on the ceiling. Many years ago two young guys who had previously bought an airgun came in protesting: "you are crooks, this gun doesn't work. We pull the trigger and nothing happens!". So they showed the "defected" gun: the shaft was in, and the safety was on. The shop owner said "safety..." and the young guys said "ah...".
BOOOM!
The hole is still on the ceiling.

You can try here which sells the whole handle and does international shipping and credit card payments; some of the guys on the forum have bought guns from here and have recommended it.

Hey sorry I didn't see this thread sooner. Since you're in NorCal, call Dolphin Scuba Center in Sacramento. They're number is: 1-800-4DOLPHIN. They can put you in touch with Zach O'Hara. He's the rep for Sporasub and I believe he doesn't live too far from you. I no longer have his number, but I've talked to him before and he's a good guy to deal with and can most likely help you out.
Ron.
