I have the original reduced power spring in mine. I wonder if the new style will reduce it even more.
-
Idescribe, I agree with you that i over stepped when i said minor pf won't hurt anything as it was a bad analogy. I mainly was trying to say that with minor loads the window for minor flexibility is better than if loading major. i've read a few reloading manuals and understand how things work, and thorough experience ive also learned that there is always room for minor variances in most cases. I would never post something in a public forum that was unsafe and i wouldnt be doing it as well.

My federals are pretty much flattened from seating with my 650.

Xtreme FP 124s are very short fat bullets. Hornady recommends 1.050 for their 124 fp fmj so the fact that I reduced powder makes up for the little bit shorter of ocl. It doesn't matter if I load a rn to 1.140 or a fp to 1.040 the primers always seem to be flattened which is only a characteristic of federal primers, cci's never flattened. They already start our flat due to my 650 and how well I seat them. So if you want to tell me that the 15k rounds I shot last year were really bad and I should have been blown up then go ahead. I wouldn't be shooting something that seems to be suspect and on the verge of blowing my hand up.
Reloading manuals are recommendations and starting points anyways.

no need for extra power mag springs, the megars already have a strong spring over the factory one.

I always thought faster powders were better for loading short. I use 3.7 TG and load my 124's at 1.040. Federal primers are flat but ive shot thousands like this with no issues. I've even shot thousands of the 165s loaded at 1.145 and 2.8TG. I just don't think a minor load can hurt anything. Now once you step up to major open loads then its time to worry about loading long.

Does the enos discount code no longer work?
-
it also comes with the straighter trigger which for those of us with small hands makes it harder to reach the controls. I prefer my curved trigger which is one of the reasons I like my tanfo over my cz.
-
it still has the FPB
-
IPSC has no issues counting to 15.
-
The trigger still needs work. A friend of mine had me do a full polish on his. Also after about 20 rounds out of the box the trigger wouldn't reset. It had to be pulled forward, pretty dissapointing for a gun of that price. Also the basepads require a hex to take off which sucks during matches.
Overall it's better to just buy the regular model and set it up with parts and paint for probably less or the same.
Basically the 4 basepads and the egd grips will be scrapped, plunger spring replaced, hammer spring clipped, and fp spring clipped to run federals.

Yes black bullets 124s and also blue bullets 135

Is this for real
-
Xtreme 124rn I believe
-
Uspsa legal not ipsc

I have to load extreme 124fp at 1.035 to function in my stock 2. Even though they are really short they run just fine in both of my cz's. I load 3.7tg for a 130 pf

stickboy,
The factory grips are the thickest you can get and work great once you sand the top ends down to allow access to the controls. I just took some dark walnut stain and touched them up after sanding and they turned out pretty good.
-
Nope shot 2k aND never had a issue. Black bullets
-
Can you confirm I am looking at the right part Vixty?^same here
That's the one
-
I've only shot My stock 2 but would like to try a limited pro
-
Just like he said I can remove the right side slide release on my 85 combat to help with weight reduction for CO.
-
I Didn't measure the SA before I changed out the spring. I just read about it somewhere and did it when I first got the gun. The CZ spring is for sure lighter because I could tell a difference when I was pushing on the sear.
-
i havent measured the two but some say the tanfo spring is softer than the CGW one.
I found no appreciable difference. So I thermally relieved a trs and took nearly a pound off the trigger! Yea!
Except....
The sear spring was able to hold the trigger from returning. So about every 2nd or 3rd round the trigger needed to be manually pushed forward. Whoops
. Factory spring back in. Reliability near 100.000% is more important (to me) than the ultimate light trigger.Do you have a fitted T3 Disco in it? I put a cz sear spring in my stock 2.
-
I just sanded down the tops of my wood grips to make them thin for reaching the controls. Then I applied grip tap on one set and just used dark walnut stain on the other an they almost look factory

Stock II Extreme Trigger - Improvements

your right duke. I just worked over an xtreme model for a friend and I had to go through and polish everything as if it were all black parts. I changed out the plunger spring to a cz RPFP spring and installed a wolf hammer spring with coils clipped so it would only fire off federal and Winchester primers. From what I noticed they put in the chromed parts but the finish still needs polished. also the side of the trigger, hammer and frame wall that the trigger bar rubs on need polished. I also polished the plunger guide rod.
At the end of the day it took just as work to set my friends extreme up as it did for me to set my regular stock 2 up. Kinda sad IMHO but hey they paint is sweet.
Also after about 20 rounds out of the box the trigger stopped resetting and had to be pulled forward. I sent an email to EGPS but never got a response back. I was very disappointed to see that. If I wasn't a stock 2 guru I would have been left out to dry
