Would anyone happen to have one for a TAC98 or PM-5? If so, would it be possible to scan it and email me a copy? I purchased one and the manual's missing.

Thanks for looking...

i have tried contacting Valtro USA a couple times by phone and have not gotten a response back from them so good luck :)

if you do however lay hands on the owners manual could you please send me a copy?

i should really post a "tune up and tear down FAQ" on the PM-5.
 
Matter of fact, I just reached them. I had indeed found Valtro's site but they never answered the phone and there is no email addy.
Luckily, I kept at it and finally got ahold of someone. Lemme tell you, the guy was not in the best of moods. Muttered something about how most of the people selling the Valtro in canada weren't official distributors etc...
By the end of the conversation (and after some major sucking up by yours truly), he'd lightened up quite a bit & promised to send me a copy of the manual "as long as you don't ask me when" LOLOLOL.

Soon as I get it in the mail, I'll scan it and post it up here.

did he happen to mention "who" is a real distributor?
i would be interested in finding some accesories... i heard a rumor they have a slug choke... and we maybe able to arrange a group buy of mag's to cut down the cost.

John Jardine is probably who you spoke to. He is a talented gunsmith, especially for the 1911 platform. He was probably not in a good mood to speak about Valtro products in Canada due to a bad experience. He had a bunch of Valtro 1911 handguns diverted from coming from Italy to the USA, and ended up in Canada. the Valtro 1911s (and i am presuming the Valtro shotguns) are exclusively distributed in N. America by Mr. Jardine. the Valtro 1911s are suppose to get the final touch by Mr. Jardine before they are sold... kind of a 'mid-tech' 1911. the basic Valtro 1911 pistols that Came to Canada are VERY NICE 1911s... mine is fantastic. the US Valtro 1911s are superb from what i have heard.

If you get a copy of the Valtro PM5 shotgun manual, I would very much like a copy too!

Thanks for doing the leg work and dealing with Mr. Grumpy... hehehe
