build the absolute lightest PCC on earth
andyglidewell replied to nickbfishn's topic in Pistol Caliber Carbine
Sure can. This is a protoype I created for what I'm hoping will be a business for me. The barrel nut I got from someone on ar15.com, it's aluminum and very similar to an NSR nut in how it attaches. The handguard and mandrel were designed using Catia and Fibersim. I then cut the mandrel from aluminum bar stock, sanded and polished until it was a mirror, laid my composite over it, vacuum bagged and cured it in an oven. After that I trimmed it and drilled the mounting holes. The handguard itself weighs 2.5 oz and is 15 inches long. -

I thought getting under 5 lbs was relatively easy. However I did make my own handguard to get there.... Getting much lower than that weight range is probably a challenge since recoil systems for pcc are all heavy. Then again the recoil system weight is all toward the back and I wouldn't think it would be all that bad. -

This one's mine. It weighs 4 lbs 15 oz without the overly heavy red dot on it. Taccom Barrel Handguard (Homemade) Anderson Sport Upper QC10 lower Spinta Bolt (with slug removed) Taccom Recoil system Looking at your list you should be about half a pound lighter than my build. -
3D printing pistol grip panels (plastic)
andyglidewell replied to JusticeOfToren's topic in General Gunsmithing
Y'all should check out the Facebook group diy 3 gun gear. There's a decent amount of 3d printing stuff on there and some pretty knowledgeable people in regards to 3d printing. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk -

I use the monoprice mini select for a printer. It's cheap but does a decent job. I mostly use solidworks for modeling software but also use catia and unigraphics. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk -

I don't know about density off the top of my head but you can play with the infill and make it quite a bit less dense. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk -

I would think 3d printed grips would be perfectly fine especially if you finish it with something like xtc-3d. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk -

I don't see why it wouldn't work. I might give it a try myself. I'd probably go with something like this for material. http://www.3dxtech.com/carbonx-carbon-fiber-petg-3d-printing-filament/ Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk -
Can you link to the thread? I'm an aerospace engineer that can do cad stuff. I'm curious what y'all are coming up with. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

I went ahead and ordered the cz +2 base pads. I figure for $5 I'm not going to go too wrong. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

I wonder if these would work. https://shop.cz-usa.com/ProductDetail/545900000078_Plastic-Magazine-2-Base-Pad Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

Has anyone installed the mecgar +2 basepads(the ones that come on a mecgar 19 Rd magazine) on an sp-01 magazine? I'm curious if they'll clear a czc magwell and function properly.

I've been using cajun gun works parts exclusively and could not be happier. I find that they have better prices and are more suitable for the person that likes to modify their own pistol. I just wish they'd hurry up with their magwell. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

Hey there's a Facebook group that is for diy 3 gun gear you should check out. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

Never used a 16 rd mag in mine but the 17's work really well. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

Do you have any pictures of the +4 basepad on an 18 round mag inserted into an SP-01 without a magwell? The reason I ask is because the tube for an 18 rd factory magazine is longer than the mecgar's and the 16 round magazines. I'm just curious how much gap there will be between the magazine and the pistol.

Do you have a budget in mind? I bought the best gun I could afford at the moment and that was the stock sp-01 shadow. I now upgrade it as I have money with cajun gun works parts. The 10x bushing is next on my list. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

The post on facebook said he was working on them...

Can anyone that bought them take a picture of them on their sp-01? I'm curious if there's any gap when using an sp-01 mag.

I just saw them post on facebook about doing +4 basepads as well. I kind of doubt the factory springs would work with these. I'm curious what the capacity would be for +4 with cz custom springs and followers installed. They stated the +4 basepads installed on a mecgar mag would clear a cz custom magwell.

I put a limbsaver and a +7 nordic components tube on mine. I have a welded lifter on the way back from C-rums that I'll be adding soon and I'll probably open the loading port. The 1301 is just a joy to shoot.

Any of you CZ TS Limited shooters come from a glock?

I think the transition will be difficult on your wallet when your ts starts having babies. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk -
I tested mine with both the 8.5 and 11.5 and only got a 1 lb improvement on the da pull and none on the sa. I could barely tell the difference dry firing it so I just went with the 11.5 and it's ignited everything. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
