Thank you for the response gentlemen. Inner diameter of the slide is between 0.700 and .701 Outer diameter of the factory rock island barrel is between 0.697 and 0.698 Outer diameter of the KKM barrel is between 0.695 and 0.696, but closer to 0.696 It's a surprise to me that the factory rock island barrel is slightly thicker than the KKM barrel. Looks like everything is within spec. I've learned some valuable information. Your input is much appreciated.

How tightly should a bull barrel muzzle fit into the front of the slide? My gun is Rock Island Tactical 40. I purchased a KKM bull barrel as a replacement. I acknowledge the barrel has to be fit. To see how tightly the barrel fits into the front of the slide I took the barrel muzzle end and stuck it into the front of the slide. I expected it to be oversized and would have to be lathed to fit. Surprisingly it slid right in and had a little play. Isn't the bull barrel muzzle end supposed to be oversized so the gunsmith can turn it down to get a tight fit just like a barrel bushing gun? It's not a lot of play at all but I was expecting for it to not fit at all. How much play if any is allowable? Thank you in advance.

Thank you for the insight. I'll keep that in mind. Reading a lot of experiences with the CZC spring and follower on the board, in hindsight I'm thinking I should have gone with the grams kit. I read somewhere they might be the same kit?

Thanks all, I just ordered the CZC spring and follower kits. I'll play with the factory followers and the CZC base pads in the mean time. Much appreciated!

Hi all. I'm running brand new TS 40 mags with new CZC basepads. When loading them all up to test capacity 3 of five mags the factory follower will get stuck at the very bottom of the mag body. Even broke a new follower when tapping mag to get the follower unstuck. Shot through the top of the mag destroying the follower. Tried oiling the inside of the mag body to help to no avail. What's going on here?

Guys quick question. running a TF fattie magwell. My Greg Cote mag/dawsons combination fits fine. I have a set of megars mags that are a little shorter than my greg cote mags. wont go into the taylor freelance magwell with the dawson pads on them. if i get the TF pads and put them on the megars, will they insert fine?

Thank you I was deciding between the two. I kinda like the orange but in all reality the color doesn't matter as long as they perfom.

Hello, I have a TS 40 with large CZC magwel (not IPSC). Will springer basepads fit with no trimming? I couldn't find the info anywhere so I apologize if this has already been discussed.

Taylor freelance make them, including magwells.

Just got word my slide is ready and it will be shipping out in the morning! 5 weeks on the money. Can't wait!

I bought the para specifically for my para. I was told the trigger guard is slightly skinny. For the rock island I bought the 1911 insert and hand to remove a little material. The guns still shift so I ended up buying the rod o keep the muzzle in place.

Awesome, good to know guys thank you. I was quoted 8 weeks so I'll keep my fingers crossed for half the time. Did you guys have to pay for serviced before or after it was done? Do they call you to go over everything? My slide should arrive there tomorrow. I didn't write my CC info on the work order, I was afraid of someone other than them getting a hold of it.

Anyone experiencing this with springer precision base pads?

Wanting to get the slide on my SP01 cut for their RDS mounting system. Just wondering what type of turn around time have you guys experienced with CZ Custom?

I had the same over insertion problem with my Rock Island and STI gen 1 magazines. To correct it I got the dawson posi-lock mag release for STI, which fit in my Rock Island. Also did you get MBX STI or MBX Para magazines? The OEM STI mags fit and work perfect for my frame, same as the Pro Match, which was designed to be able to use the STI magazines.
