Amazing guide. Just one in the many contributions from Professor Atlas (a well deserved title.)
It looks like there is an art to this as well. Since I am not that mechanically inclined, is there anyone in Northern California that does a good trigger job?

Sorry, it wasnt clear in my original post. I need dimensions of the magazine so that i can extrapolate the size of tje opening to the magwell.
-
Trying to jerry rig a magwell. Can someone give me the dimensions (not the length) of the magazine of a large frame CZ (like a czechmate or TS). Thanks.
-
I like the look of the magwell/grip of the GridLok (Lok Grips). They sell a grip that will fit my Elite gold custom but not the magwell. They have magwells forCZs (Shadow 2, Tactical sport, and Chechmate). Any chance me and my dremmel can get it to fit on a large frame Tanfo? Any thoughts appreciated.

Beven Gram. He does great work. http://gramsengineering.com (No disclaimers)
Correct. Mine does not have a FPB. But he may have a solution to retain it for carry optics division.

I had my slide milled. More of an investment but the red dot lines up exactly where the iron sights would be (if i had one).
-
I found that getting a quality choke wrench fixed my problem. Those cheesy flat ones never seem to work well.

The Baby Eagle with thin grips is as small as you can get in the CZ 75 platform.
Interesting. Going to have to look in to this. Is this new 941 or any of the older ones on the california approved list?

I vote mec. They are bulletproof (figuratively not literally.)

For small hands is the baby eagle, tanfoglio, or CZ better?

Propane = safe? wow.

Yes. keep us informed.

Oh, it's an Edgun. Yeah, you've probably ruined it. Better send it to me and let me rebuild it. I'll have it back within 24 months. Awful nice rifle! What are you using it for? I actually still use a Benjamin Nitro Piston for the majority of my eradication. My PCPs can't keep a consistent enough shot string over the course of a lot of shooting and I'm just not willing to invest more yet. My Nitro Piston probably has somewhere between 400-500 pests to its name at this point. Very different from "hunting" though.
Its a sweet gun but pricy. Lothar Walther barrel. It shoots 0.5 inches at 50 yards untuned, but falls off at 100 yards. Going on a ground squirrel hunting trip this summer.
You can get some PCP's around $500 that has comparable performance. Wish i could do some eradicating like you do, but its a no-no where I live.

Sunnyvale gun and rod club. Im sure you have gone since you are also in Sunnyvale. Half the week the range is limited to members only so its cool not having lots of public there. Completely different vibe. Trap, 5 stand, rimfire, 3 gun, cowboy, etc. . Action pistol is not as good as richmond. Overall, well run and people are friendly

One shot without a pellet shouldn't break your gun, but it's a very bad idea to name it a regular practice. I do pest eradication with air rifles and can't think of a great reason to not just put a pellet in and fire into the ground or whatever is safe if you need to clear the gun.
What kind of PCP are you using?
its an Edgun. You are right about just shooting one into the ground. I guess the other day, I was showing someone how to cock it in the house and then was thinking, what do I do now. Im sure the wife won't mind a few holes in the carpet.

I'm pretty good with commas, but where are you making that argument? From what you cited, the only time the ammo in the same case as the firearm counts as "loaded" is if you are in the commission of a felony. From what I've heard all my life, it is quite common for a handgun to be stored in a locked case in a car, and a loaded magazine in the same locked case, but not in the firearm, and that is perfectly legal for normal transportation.
The magazine is not attached to the firearm, even if in the same case. I have heard of someone making that argument that a having shells in the sidesaddle attached to a shotgun might meet some lawyer's definition, though. Are you saying having a loaded magazine at all, anywhere, counts as a loaded firearm? I think that's only in Washington, DC.
I will admit that I am a state-certified firearms lawyer, but only in two easy states: Nevada and Utah. I don't think it's possible to be an expert in California.
My sister and brother in law are lawyers in DC. I've learned never to argue with one. Just sharing what I have read in other posts. Whether it is truth or myth, none of the 400 members in our gun club are putting ammo in their guns.

Can you cite the CA law that forbids it? Last I heard, it was legal, as long as the firearms were not loaded, and handgun cases were locked, so if things are different, knowing would be good. If you don't know the law, please cite to where you heard it so we can get on the same page.
Mac,
That was a good question. I never really looked it up. Some of the answers are found in Calguns (the main gun forum for California.) Here is a sample thread. https://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/showthread.php?t=52485 There is no specific law. But here is the argument
- It is unlawful to carry a loaded firearm on one’s person or in a vehicle while in any public place, on any public street, or in any place where it is unlawful to discharge a firearm.(Penal Code § 12031(a)(1).)
- A firearm is deemed loaded when there is a live cartridge or shell in, or attached in any manner to, the firearm, including, but not limited to, the firing chamber, magazine, or clip thereof attached to the firearm. (Penal Code § 12031(g).)
- For the purposes of Penal Code section 12023 (commission or attempted commission of a felony while armed with a loaded firearm), a firearm is deemed loaded when both the firearm and the unexpended ammunition capable of being discharged from the firearm are in the immediate possession of the same person. (Penal Code § 12034.)
So the argument goes that the ammo does not have to actually be in the gun for it to be considered loaded. Note that the comma after the word "magazine" which imples that a loaded magazine is a loaded gun. While this may be an argument in semantics, some of the officers of the great nation of California have arrested people using similar logic. One example is Clark in which he arrested and charged with having a loaded firearm because he had shells in a case attached to the butt of the shotgun. Arrest first and ask questions later. http://www.hoffmang.com/firearms/People-v-Clark-(1996).pdf

Be careful of sporting clays. I was strictly pistol, now more shotgun than anything.
love to hit the clays
Agreed. Shooting stationary targets is boring once you get into action sports. The great thing is that clays are cheap and you don't have to wait around all the time. Also since you know your own score, you have something to work toward each time.

I fly to 3-gun matches about once a month. Having to open the case at the ticket counter is the norm.
Always impressive to the people in line behind you when you open a case like this....
I'm sure you won't do anything silly like fly to Cali with a gun but if you do, make sure your ammo and firearm is not in the same case.

I'd also recommend not doing any work with an open flame near a workbench that you previously reloaded. I once set off a primer with a blow torch by accident. I had taken all my relaoding stuff off the bench but didn't see the primer. I'm sure there was powder on the bench also. Luckily didnt get hurt. +1 on fire extinguisher

Recently tried for several months. I used to be able to do it, but not any more.

yeah living in California doesn't sound like much fun for a gun enthusiast
I didn't see any girls at the range. Must be going to the wrong one.

I know that that this isn't an air rifle forum but I am not a member of any of them. So i figured maybe someone here might know. Lets say that I have cocked my PCP air rifle but don't cant shoot a pellet through it, should i just dry fire it? Will it damage it?
Any chance a CZ magwell will fit a Tanfo?
in Tanfoglio (EAA / IFG)

Thanks for the info.
