Where can I find a NEF Pardner Pump?

[bootless]

I'm in the Inland Empire. I've heard great things about the NEF Padner Pump shotgun. I've called numerous dealers and all of them say they do not have any in but they can order me one. I would like to handle one of these things before I buy/order one. Has anyone seen/bought one of these at a local dealer lately? If so what store?

If you're interested in the HD/Tactical NEF Pardner it and and the Norinco/Interstate Arme/IAC/Hawk 982 12 ga pumps are all pretty much the same. The Pardner has a different receiver profile, slightly squared off towards the back as opposed to sloped, other than that they share all critical parts. The finish and furniture can also differ, but the internal design, the operation and performance, is identical.



The 982 can usually be found at Big 5 sports stores.

I went to Big 5 and looked at the Norinco. It looked like a NEF style gun (bead sight, sharp ridge on the back of the receiver), but it was still labeled Norinco. Too bad they wanted $300 for it. Everywhere else people are getting these between $150 and $200.

The $300 price tag for a Hawk 982 or Pardner Protector is too high, $225 or less is the going price. The 982 is hard to get right now but that will change soon when more are imported.

They are basically the same. Different style receiver, as stated, and the Protector has a sling swivel stud on the mag cap and stock.

I have one from Big 5 labeled H&R Pardner Pump. I think I paid about $200. You have to wait until they have them on sale.
