  1. Go to the factory in UB and talk to the engineers about the shockbuffs, strangely they'll disagree with CGW. But of course they are just shilling those $1.50 shockbuffs that last like 10k rounds.
  2. S2's have always come with buffers, special edition Shadows also came with them, ones designed for competition shooting, the Shadowmates, Canadian, Australian Special etc.
  3. which is legal, unless Dino decides to interfere.
  4. Springer Precision sells a really nice aluminum retaining plate that works with the Henning pads, been using them for a year or so.
  5. yeah I just yank (remove) the front sight and put the roll pin back in, I then smack (hit it lightly with a hammer) the roll pin where the sight was, to distort (slightly alter the shape) it a bit so it can't easily move

  7. thank you Brian edited to add Snagged the image from your profile pic and used that. Image below if anyone else wants it, already in the right format for Chrome BEnos.ico
  8. anyone ever made an icon for the forum? All Chrome gives in my bookmarks bar is the stock Invision icon, a kind of black and white Globe or something, same that I have for a few other sites
  9. Excellent! Thank you, that makes things make sense lol. Good thing they are making those parts still!
  10. I'd love to know what crank arm they sent you. The RL1050 has an offset roller bearing setup, like the new 1100 has, not a crank arm like the Super has.
  11. I only get upside down cases, or cases under the plate (which is a whole other nightmare), if I overload the hopper. With my calibrated Kraft Peanut Butter Container (TM) I put about 600 cases in my older RL1050 hopper and it will run smooth. Anymore than that and I get upside down ones, as the slots can't clear and will hold upside down cases in place, not letting them tip out. I have also had to clean the plate, just like I do with the Dillons, to remove built up case lube grunge. Too much and the cases won't slide in the slots either, causing the same upside case issue. Both are avoidable with proper care and maintenance.
  12. Spray glue. Put on grips, and even on back of the tape, over existing glue. Follow instructions on can. done.
  13. finally got around to putting the Springer Precision magwell on my Shadow 2 Optics gun. It will swap around between my Optics gun and my Shadow 2 Orange as I play in Production, Standard and Open division in IPSC during the season. It is a much nicer setup than the CZUB magwell, and not just because of color. It allows you to keep your full length grips of choice, not needing short ones like the CZUB magwell does. You do need to use the appropriate basepads however, your factory +2 won't work without some grinding. I use the original Henning pads for the Tanfo small frame mags, you can see in the pic that the Shadow pads Henning makes have a thicker shoulder above the flange on the mag, so that you can't overseat the mag like the Tanfo pads would allow in a Shadow. Took a little bit of fiddling around to get the magwell on correctly and the small spacer screws adjusted right, but once done, it's rock solid and looks a ton better. Might do a slight blend of the pistol where you can just see a small lip of the frame. But, it shouldn't affect things. On my Orange that lip isn't present, different frames, different tolerances I guess.
  14. is it a CGW disco or CZUB or CZC disco?
  15. thank you thank you thank you! Love that it is back. having no info on if it was permanently down or what was scary.
  16. I wonder which style of locking plate they are selling?
  17. The old casefeeders can't be modified like the newer ones, they are only fast or slow, not variable speed. if you overload the hopper it won't keep up with the rollsizer.
  18. I've had mine for awhile now and love it. I have three old style 1050 case feeders, two really old ones and one that came with the my Super. I had installed the ImmortoBot Pro upgrade on the one on my Rollsizer, and then received the DAA plate after the fact. I wish I'd known about the plate before ordering the ImmortoBot upgrade, the DAA plate is fast enough for the Rollsizer, 6100rph and makes the ImmortoBot upgrade unnecessary.

    Sight Pusher Tool

    The MGW tool is awesome, super well built and will last forever. Do not forget to oil the threads on the pusher though, I've seen people that did and mangled the threading as a result, when pushing super stuck sights
  20. Yeah I have Henning Pads on all my mags, including for my Orange S2. My Orange pads are in the case with the other parts for the gun that I swapped out. (and no I won't sell em)
  21. Dillon Precision database was hacked. Be very careful if you get an email from them concerning an order and it asks you to click a link. The email could contain the complete chain of emails you previously had with a Dillon rep and appear legit. I contacted the actual person at Dillon, not using the return email address for the new email, and he confirmed the data breach. Original email had @dillonprecision in it, new email was mehran@badieoptics.com So be careful
  22. I run a Revo and I'm a first gen Revo owner at that. I also have an Mk7 automated RL1050. I had growing pains with the Revo as a first gen owner, the priming system worked at the start, but stopped being reliable pretty quick. Mk7 replaced the entire priming system for me with the newer style with the index pin on the toolhead that engages the priming disc. They also sent me the new toolhead. Since then I've had very few issues, less than I've had with my 3 different 1050s (and I mean less than any one of the 3, not all of the 3). I load at 2500 to 3000RPH on the Revo and process at 3500 on the 1050. I think the 1050 is fine for processing, but the Revo is miles ahead for loading. Parts availability can be an issue, but I don't fault Mk7 on that, that seems to be the current state of affairs for most companies right now, and during their big growth and whey Lyman took over, it was to be expected. Things are definitely better now. Also willing to help with questions on the Revo, best place to ask is the FB group for Mk7 owners
  23. Robin Sebo used to have the Orange baseplates for sale.

    S2 thin slide stops

    if you have a high grip the regular slidestops get stuck on your hand and your slide won't lock back. As well, I'd guess 90% of people that actually hit slide lock (something you don't want to do in competition anyhow) make use of the autoforward when changing mags. Should the slide not go forward the slim one can still be hit with your right thumb if you have large enough hands or with your left hand thumb as you reestablish your grip. If CZ was smart they'd redesign the slim one to be as long as the regular one, but with the slim profile. My experience with the Rami slidestops is that they are hit and miss on the Shadow 2 for proper fit and function. Maybe they've updated the Rami one to be the same as the 2, but previously the Rami one only worked 100 percent in the Shadow. That 2mm difference in frame width between the 2 and the regular Shadow makes a difference in function of the slidestop
