    TS2 side mount for a red dot

    in CZ

    Posted · Edited by RCFL
    Correction

    Will it work? Sorta. Is it ideal? Not really. Without the recess, you will have your optic left of center, as you said. Now you will have two offsets. Elevation is always offset because the optic sits above the bore. On the near side of the zero distance, you hit below your point of aim and on the far side you hit above, at least until gravity pulls the bullet back towards earth and you pass through the point of aim again.  With the optic sitting left of center, you will have a windage offset as well. Yes, you will be able to zero it with the windage adjustment, but on the near side of the zero distance you will hit right of your point of aim and on the far side, you will obviously hit left with that distance growing as you reach out further beyond the zero point. Granted, the windage offset will be far less than the elevation and it may not be enough that it matters to you, but that is for you to decide. 

    Czechmate Parrot

    I went back & forth between the 9 and 10 pound springs from Wolff and finally decided I liked the 9 better with S&B 115. Their 124s are good too, but I prefer the 115s in the Czechmate with the comp if I’m shooting minor ammo in a match without power factors. I have found the gun will cycle pretty much any factory ammo with the 9 pound spring and the comp installed, but the hotter S&B rounds get a little bit of benefit from the comp. I imagine you’ll have similar results with the 10.

    Nice, that’s exactly what I wanted to know. I like to do falling steel or steel challenge and cheap 9mm is easy to find these days. Can you tell a difference comp performance with 9mm minor and major ? 


    The dot returns very quickly with both rounds. I don’t reload so I’m using Everglades Ammo for 9 major. I used to put in a ten pound spring for major but I decided I like the nine pound better, so now I just leave it in there for both.

    Have you shot any factory 9mm minor ammo through it with the comp? 


    If I’m shooting a non-USPSA match and there is no Major Power Factor advantage, I shoot factory Sellier & Bellot 115 grain with the comp and a nine pound recoil spring. I’ve put thousands of them through the gun. They’re cheap and I’ve been really happy with them in the Czechmate.

    Over on Facebook at CZ Open Gun Shooters page.  Post has the dimensions and where to squeeze on the body and then what to adjust feed lips to.


    I’ve seen this page referenced a few times but can never seem to find it on Facebook. Is it a hidden or secret group?

    Czechmate - Major Ammo ?

    in Open Pistols

    Posted

    Got a Czechmate about six months ago and I don’t reload either. Been using Everglades 9 Major with no issues at all. That being said, I DID lengthen the leade in both barrels because the rounds were clearly not fully seated and definitely wouldn’t spin when I tried the plunk/spin test. This is a known and common issue you’re probably already familiar with if you’ve been looking into a Czechmate.  Pretty simple solution and the ammo has functioned flawlessly. I’ve been using a 10 lb. recoil spring but just starting to play with a 9 lb. to see if I like it any better.

    I’m looking at a Ruger 10/22 Target Lite.  

     

    I’m shooting a Target Lite and found the CMore with the Allchin mount to be just right for me. Tried the rail mount first but the optic was sitting higher than I wanted. Allchin put the dot right where I wanted it coming up from low ready. 

    Why is Action Steel so popular?

    Volusia action steel is crazy popular. 

     

    Number one one reason is no resetting and no working. 

     

    Number 2 is newbies like being able to hear a shot but predominantly is not having to work.

     

    Action steel takes 2 hours for 6-7 stages with 10-12 man squads. 

     

    Uspsa with 7-8 people and 6-7 stages takes 4-6 hours. Same round count

     

    I think it’s this right here. ^^^ Match moves along faster, less work and people love to hear that sound of the steel being hit.

    Compare the lugs on the barrels. I had a black and a SS also. The SS I got has the newer, beefier lug and the black one has the older style. You might have the same situation. Clearly, I chose to use the new-style SS barrel.

    Got a reply confirming they are working on one! He said end of summer at the earliest. 

     

    Good to hear!  You’re the second person I’ve heard that from. Talked to someone recently who said he spoke with them and was told no. Hoping he just reached someone who wasn’t in the know.  

    Shadow 2 style mag release for CZ TS TSO and Czechmate

    in CZ

    Posted

    Mine took about ten days to arrive to Florida. Didn’t install it right away because I then learned I should probably have a spare screw for the mag catch spring on hand in case the one staked in the gun doesn’t come out nicely. Ordered a screw along with some other things I needed from CZ-USA. Original screw came out intact, new release is in and I’m much happier with it over the factory release. The paddle that Sebo ships does seem to be the Lok paddle as opposed to the colored S2 paddles that CZ makes. I was a little bummed by this as I already have several of the CZ colored parts on the gun,  it I suppose if it bothers me that much I can just get a colored S2 aluminum paddle and my OCD will be satisfied. 

    CZ 75 170mm base pad options?

    in CZ

    Posted

    Here is a CZ 75 26 round mag on the left and a Czechmate 26 round on the right with a CZC basepad to get it to 170mm and 29 rounds. I haven’t removed the rubber piece from the 75 mag (it’s on pretty good), but my understanding is there is a weld under there where the tubes were joined together.

    Czechmate ---rounds nose diving?

    in CZ

    Posted

    My 20 rounders were fine until I put on CZC basepads, springs and followers. They immediately began nose diving. I sent him all my Czechmate mags, 20s and 26s. Now they’re 23s and 29s and I’ve not had one issue since.

    I sent him my Czechmate mags a couple months ago.   $20 per tube to reshape them, $18.90 per spring/follower and he was very quick. Including shipping time each way, they were back in about a week. Feeding perfectly ever since with 23 and 29 rounds with CZC basepads.
