Looks for Target

Looks for Target (4/11)

  1. It might with some mounts but I think the center of the dovetail groove is deeper (farther down from the top of the rail surface than picatinny. So a proper "conversion" of the rail would mean removing material from the top surface to lower the mount so it clamps up better in the dovetail.
  2. Old thread but new info. I thought the same thing and wanted to do this too. Burris's fastfire mount will NOT fit this rail. Burris lists it as a "Weaver/Picatinny" mount but there is no way this will fit weaver. Burris customer service said "we've never made anything to fit weaver". The cross pin is to large for weaver slots .125 slot vs .147 pin And the weaver dovetail groove is deeper, meaning the picatinny dovetail clamping surfaces do not mate properly. I've looked into this and contacted many manufacturers even EGW but this 20 year old weaver rail just has no adapter or mount option to fit reflex sights.
  3. For the sake of others' I'll answer my own questions. A call to Browning answered everything. The browning Gold is basically the same beast with a modified shell lifter etc... Part # B11163341 The O-ring is called the Forearm spacer ring. Which customer service said is a very bad description of what It does. The gold ring around the mag tube was added for a couple of years and then removed. "that has come and gone" was how the CSR described it. And he said the flaking of the protective coating is nothing to be concerned about. Best source? Browning/Winchester parts department! Shipped the same day and were Way cheaper than brownells or Midwest Gun Works. FNH? Well I never got thru to a human in the parts dept. Always a recording with no returned call. Part # B111628311 Carrier Dog Spring. This gets interesting. The Carrier Dog Spring story... I removed the Glock spring hack that I used for a couple of years. They had collapsed to an OAL of 1.22" and had become unreliable. Works in a pinch but I won't do it again. A new Winchester spring is 1.35" and the wire gauge is .024" The new Browning spring measures 1.95" and is .020 gauge. So the Browning spring is 1/2 inch LONGER than the winchester spring which made installation on the carrier dog spring guide a chore. Used hemostats to clamp and slide and that worked well. Longer spring with smaller wire so It does not give any coil binding. Springs are still priced at 2013 prices, $1.25. I ordered 5 of them. In addition to the O-ring and carrier dog spring, I ultrasonic cleaned my piston. Tested a box of light handloads, buck and factory trap and ran fine with all the changes; but the Carrier dog spring was 90% of my reliability problems at my last 2 matches. The lifter just has more snap with fresh springs.
  4. I am in the process of rebuilding & tuning up my SX2. What is o-ring part called that is in the barrel gas housing? I cannot find anything called a seal or o-ring etc... on parts lists or diagrams. Mine is 20 years old and a bit chewed up. I think I have an early model before the gold colored ring was added to protect the mag tube from gases. And the temperature protective coating on my mag tube is flaking off in some places. Any solutions other than replace it? Also where is the best source of parts for SLP/SX2/Browning gold parts these days
  5. I need to replace one of their nylon universal double pistol mag pouches which I lost, and I found the same thing. It looks like they are out of business but still have a webpage listing other retailers who carry(ed) their products?! Probably had remaining inventory, paid for their domain for a couple years, and now they are sold out. And "3-gun gear" website cannot be found either. I thought they made a similar product back in the day. But any suggestions on another company that makes a similar pouch would be appreciated.
  6. UPDATE: Pleasantly Surprised! 100 yds 6X scope 18" White Oak 18" SPR 1:7 23.4 gr IMR-4895 Rem 7.5 Primer LC Cases 5 shot group .910" (4 hole cloverleaf of .410 with one dang flyer!) 5 rounds same load same day with Hornady 75's & Winchester primers gave me .610" Call me nuts but the hornady 75's work better for me with Winchester primers. For the price they are fine for my purposes. I would have been happy with 2moa Did not chrono. I usually load Varget but rising prices have pushed me to use up some 4895.
  7. Has anyone tried the Speer 75 grain TMJ for accuracy? I have seen only one test on youtube and it was just "ok" for practice but that was one guy with one video. I think this is Speer's 75gr practice version of their 75gr Gold Dot. I use hornady 75's for matches but the Speers were a little cheaper.
  8. So most competitive shooters using the M&P's know that the big "Duck Bill" factory magazine base pads catch on everything. Especially when grabbing them for reloads. So we replace the base pads, or do like I did and take them to the belt sander to slim down that 3/8" lip. I tried this for the M&P .22 which I use for practice and found that it really doesn't work because of the hollow/sunken in bottom of the .22 magazines. I filled in the hollowed out part with some rubber but it looks funny. So does anyone know if some company makes 3D printed replacements that don't have the huge duckbill lip on them?
  9. I do not have any 2.0 models, all my M&P's are 1.0 so I am asking a question based on observations at the LGS and from photos/videos. The question is: Could a 2.0 slide have the small "wedge" slide-lock-notch machined out to the larger "rectangle" type of the original 1.0 slides? It appears like this would be the only change needed to run a 2.0 slide on an old 1.0 frame and have the slide lock function normally. But again, I have no experience with 2.0 models.
  10. Update: They work fine. And let me say these mags have the slickest most polished finish of any brand of magazine I have ever used. Very good quality.
  11. I run the classic "bumber pads" on 7 round mags which are about 1/2 thick with an old King's magwell. The Ed Brown model 848 - 8 round mags have a lengthened tube and plastic base pad. Anyone know if they are they are long enough to use with magwells?
  12. I went back to .45 because I have lots of .45 components and my small pistol primer supply is getting a bit scanty.
  13. Hello I have several Wilson Combat 10rd "Bureaucrat" Magazines. I have rebuilt them at least once but what I find annoying is the springs are fine. It is the plastic follower that fails. The slide stop shelf gets chewed up and will not lock the slide open. I know the easiest answer is buy rebuild kits from Wilson but my other 1911 magazines with METAL FOLLOWERS have NEVER FAILED. Wilson gets premium prices for plastic parts. Trip Research has a "Hybrid" follower that has a metal insert exactly where the Wilson part fails. Has anyone used these followers? Or any metal followers which will work with Wilson mag bodies?
  14. Thank you for this info! S&W would not send me the part and requires the pistol be sent in since this is a "factory installed part"?! So I ordered one from MGW. Part #396470000 Midway also lists part #396470000 and reviewers comment this an original type without the tactile reset bumps. Other part numbers for the Slide Stop Assembly: Old 2012 S&W parts list shows 390460000 (OBS) and 393680000 no OBS in parentheses. I believe OBS indicates OBSOLETE. And I've found 424270000 And 440990000 on MGW's web site And the customer service rep told me the part which would be installed is 4232800000 So there surely have been several iterations of this part.
  15. On the one with the broken spring. What is that little welded on "pad" in the arm next to the mag follower tab? Are these both from GEN 1.0 guns? None of my 1.0's have this raised pad.
