  1. Jesse, did you do any experimenting with the Franchi? I am curious if this is an option that is worth the premium over the Stoeger and if it closes the gap between the M3000 and M2. Also curious if the trigger group parts interchange with an M2 for easy 922r compliance.

  2. I just smoothed the bottom of the mag tubes a little with a file. I read that some people were having issues with the spring possibly catching on the bottom of the mag tube as it crosses the transition between the extended base pad and tube. Not sure if it helped my problem or not, but the bottom of the tube was a little rough and sharp.

  3. I have a TS in 40 S&W that I have had for about a year. I was experiencing some infrequent jams, but during a match over this past weekend, it became a jam-o-matic. It jammed four times during the first stage. There were a few other guys in my squad shooting CZ's, and they thought that my jam problems were related to the hollowpoints I was shooting. I exchanged my hollowpoints for flat points with a buddy I was shooting with. The jams were not as frequent, but were still present throughout the day. I didn't spend a whole lot of time looking at the jams during the match, but it appeared they were all nosedives.

    I was running CZ Custom extensions with their springs and followers, as well as a CZ custom guide rod.

    After doing a little research, I filed the bottom of the mag tubes to smooth the transition between the tubes and basepads. I then thoroughly cleaned the tubes, and wiped them down with a silicone cloth. I also removed the CZ Custom guide rod and replaced it with the original polymer guide rod.

    I went to the range today to see if I could get it to jam up so I could try to see what the problem was. I did not clean the gun after the match, so it was still dirty. I ran 225 rounds of the same hollowpoints without a single jam. I ran every mag I own with not one problem. After the way the gun performed during the match, I was expecting it to jam up right away, but I don't think I could have made it jam if I tried...

    Is the jam issue solved? Are the CZ mags that sensitive to not being clean, or getting a little but of crud in them? was the guide rod the culprit?

  4. I have a TS that started to do this occasionally and got progressively worse. I have the extra power mag springs. I also shoot factory loads. I recently replaced the factory recoil spring with a 15 lb spring, and have not had any problems since. I think the original recoil spring may have worn out.

  5. I have an SLR 15 inch 3 gun hand guard. Very nice, very light. The barrel nut that it attaches is a very solid mount. The only negative is the small diameter limits your gas block selections. I have recently installed an SLR adjustable gas block, and it is a fairly tight fit.

  6. For those running a 9mm barrel in their Tactical Sport 40, how much fitting is required, and to what part of the barrel? Is this a DIY job or does it require the skills of a gunsmith. Does CZ custom fit barrels?

  8. Ammo is harder to get your hands on and is expensive if you don't reload for that round. The biggest benefit that I see for the 300 BLK round is the flexibility of having a quiet subsonic round and a fairly capable and hard hitting supersonic round in the same package. If your not going down the suppressed route, where is the benefit? Ballistics are similar to the 7.62 X 39 from what I have seen, and that round is certainly more available and a whole lot cheaper.
