Not to my knowledge... I'm sure if you someone interested at this point in time orders some up, and offers extras for sale you would find buyers.Thanks for sharing that link. I've been looking for where to purchase a right side safety pin. Did that group buy ever go thru?
There was some discussion on the linked thread about the difference between the slotted and coiled pins. For the safety I would think either would be ok, but some though the coiled ones are more resilient for higher loaded areas in the gun.
Are you aware if the coiled pin for the right side safety is available for purchase anywhere online? Or is my only option calling EAA and asking if they can get me one?

Just to confirm; this is the size for the ambi safety pin? If that is the case I will be ordering a pack of 100 if anybody needs one!
Did you find a 1.5mm x 12mm coil pin on the site? I looked around and could only find slotted pins in the 1.5x12 size required for the right side safety.

mrd - thanks for sharing. The pics look good. I'm going to give it a shot with wood grips.

I would. I got mine 115 shipped when he ran a special 2 weeks ago.
So you would recommend the Henning contour grips? I've been looking at those but the $135 price tag has kept me from pulling the trigger. No pun intended.I had a thumb groove in mine. Bought a Henning when it was on sale and have never looked back. Easier reloads.
What's your opinion of the EG grips vs the Henning contour grips? I've got small hands so I'd like the thinnest grips possible.

I saw his post too late to take advantage of the Thanksgiving discount. Hopefully, he will offer a Christmas discount soon.

I've used neoprene tape before - some refer to it as foam rubber tape. It's a quick and cheap solution. Rubber base pads are probably the way to go for a long-term solution.

Aggie - thanks for posting your question. I've been trying to decide whether to attempt this or not with some of my wood grips or to spend a lot of money on a pair of the aluminum Henning or EG grips. Let me know how it goes, what tools you used, lessons learned and post a few pics of the finished product. If it goes well, I'm going to give a shot.

don't take to a private pac&mail storefront, you will just get into an argument with the clerk...
having an account with FedEx or UPS helps a lot. last upper I shipped I did with a UPS account, and the driver showed up at my door looking for the package I had to ship. He signed the hi value paper work that printed out when I did the shipping form online, ripped off his copy and handed mine to me, grabbed the package and headed back to his truck...easy peasy.
I believe the same can happen at a fedex shipping store like the fedex/kinkos. just do all the paperwork online, and drop it off at the store. the driver that stops at the store will take it along with the pile of other packages going out.

About a year ago I had a terrible experience shipping an upper from the local UPS store. I had packaged the upper and labeled it at home. All I was doing was dropping it off at the UPS store to be picked up by a driver. The clerk noticed the box was shaped like a rifle box so she lit into me with a million questions and accusations. I explained multiple times that it wasn't a firearm, but she didn't believe me. She was even threatening to open the box to check the contents. She even raised her voice and made some anti 2nd amendment comments. Luckily, there was an older gentlemen in the back that came out to investigate the commotion. He asked me what it was and then told her to settle down. He accepted the upper. That UPS store permanently lost my business after that negative experience, though.

Technically, I THINK you can even ship the serialized part to the manufacturer or a gunsmith, and receive it back from the same, even without you having an FFL...somebody correct me if I am wrong plz...
jj
Yes, that is correct. A few weeks ago I purchased an Armalite M-15 3GN rifle. Something was wrong with the lower. Armalite sent a label and it was picked up at my house and shipped using UPS Ground. In addition, it was returned to me using UPS Ground. No FFL involved. No questions asked. Signature was required though for delivery.

Yes, you can change them to bullets out
Thanks for the info. Do the racers work with bullets forward or bullets out similar to the ghost pouches?
no problem. The adjustable retention on the DAA is great compared to the plastic arms used on the ghost. the 2 white plastic screws they use to adjust for width are just lame IMHO. they could have at least designed real spacers,
If you don't mind me asking, why do you prefer the daa pouches over the ghost 360 pouches?I have both the ghost and DAA pouches. Go DAA. if your order at dawson has not processed call them up and add them to save shipping. The adapter should be free for glocks from DAA for the asking
Thanks. I looked them up but DAA's website did not have any pictures showing the racers configured with bullets out. All of the pics and description showed the traditional bullets forward configuration. Is it a simple process to change the configuration?

I own the SA range officer 9 and it's a great gun. I put grip tape on the front strap which is more aggressive than checkering or stippling. After 300 rds the stock trigger feels good. I installed a Dawson FO front sight & VZ grips. Overall I'm pleased with it.

Stoeger sells a blade tech holster combo with his BOSS hanger that's a great setup. If it's in stock they will ship quickly. They also sell the ghost 360 pouches in various colors.

Check out the ghost 360 pouches. They are affordable & versatile. Blade tech for the holster & belt.

"Trust but verify" is a principle my dad imparted on me as a teen that has served me well so far. It's hard going through life expecting the worst from our fellow man. There really are a lot of decent, good people in this great country. Take this forum as an example. People taking time to pass on their knowledge & help their fellow shooters.

I use the Vortex Switchview. Works like a champ. It is pretty expensive compared to the zip tie models.
But something about putting a zip tie on a $1300 scope on top of a rifle that costs considerably more just strikes me wrong.
But, that is just me.
are vortex and mgm levers the same?
+1I've got the MGM lever. It works great.
The aluminum levers are made by MGM and then branded by Vortex.

I purchased the boss hanger kit with blade tech holster from Stoeger. First go round the holster would not retain my sp-01. Called cs and they exchanged it for a holster that works great. Figured I just got a dud. Either way stoeger's pro shop will stand behind the holsters they sell and send you a new blade-tech if need be.
-
Before upgrading to the vortex razor I had a PA 1-6 with the 3 gun stuff lever. It was sturdy and always worked. I'm sure their lever for the vortex would work just as well.

My first foray into the CZ world was a sp-01 accu from CZC. Man, that pistol is one sweet piece of steel. I installed a thinner FO front sight from Dawson, a pair of aggressive VZ grips and now the gun is perfect. They're not joking about CZ's multiplying in your safe. Not long after I bought my accu I picked up a second CZ.
Roll pin for Ambi-Safety
in Tanfoglio (EAA / IFG)
Posted · Edited by cakedog02
From what I read on this site, the appropriate pin would be he coiled version. I suspect, as others have opined, that a slotted pin would probably be sufficiently strong for the safety, but there is an element of uncertainty. If you decide to order some of the slotted pins, I would buy a few from you.
