    Overtravel screw size

    in Tanfoglio (EAA / IFG)

    Posted

    I have a flat trigger that came with my gun, assuming it's a Henning. The overtravel screw isn't quite long enough after I put in the solid trigger pin and lost some slop in the trigger, anyone know the size/threads so I can track down a longer one?

    My Tapatalk app isn't working right, but I'm trying to respond to Mr. Postman... You're right, I experienced it at the classifier match 2 weekends back, table stage, Got on the gun very fast, all head shots, Got second overall, just under Master. Gives me high hopes for the gun. Thanks man.

    Yes Sir, but duracoat. I'm kinda addicted to the thumb rest now. Not sure I can go as fast without it. It's nicer than the factory ones, good job on it.

    Thanks! I'm sure you know why it is angled instead of square? Next time you do a table start pay attention to where the rest touches the table. The square ones will touch on the forward upper part of the thumb pad which can cause the gun to go grip side down which doesn't help at all. By angling the pad it allows you to get the pivot point closer to the grip which keeps the grip raised instead for a quick grab from the table. Duracote is good stuff!

    Test FPB

    I got a Henning gen 4 firing pin and a brand new fpb from eaa, it isn't even close to fitting, seems like lots of material needs to come off the fpb to let the pin pass through. Not looking forward to filing and fitting that sucker. Not even sure where to file yet, can't see what's bumping. The pin won't even go in. Sheesh.

    Firing pin block

    My $.02, I don't feel comfortable without a firing pin block. Worst case scenario would be dropping the gun or it falling from the holster and it firing with serious consequences. The way I understand it, the fpb stops the firing pin from moving forward and striking the primer without the trigger being pulled. I like that safety feature.

    I know this is a total Newb question, but how do I test the FPB? I want to make sure this is working as designed.

    Thanks!

    Use a small punch and press the back of the firing pin with the gun in battery and hammer cocked . It shouldn't move more than a 1/8" or less I'm guessing. Hold the hammer back and press the trigger to the rear, push on it again, should pass through much farther.

    Hey all, does anyone know of a reputable gunsmith that can cut a bunch of weight off of my hunter slide? I shot my first match with it and found the cycling rate too slow, lots of dip on lockup no matter what spring I use. Thanks in advance.
