    The OD of the bushing in slides made for 14mm OD barrels is significantly larger that that of this comp.

     

    You could leave the busing in place, cut off the cone and use this comp as a bull-barrel style on a TS barrel cut to length.

    What would the barrel oal need to be?

    And the thread engagement length and pitch?

    What all would i need to / have done to utilize this comp with a 75b 40 cal slide that's had the fpb removed ?

     

    Remove barrel bushing

    taper ream slide to comp bushing angle

    fit barrel of correct length and threading to slide

    Install and alignment ream comp

    install on tac sport/sp01/or 75b frame

    Enjoy!

    did I miss something?

    Perceived value?

     

    The bigger brass weight on the dropped i can understand,  should help keep the output spring from pulling up which is mostly imo an alignment issue not a product fault, and get the Dropper to "home" a little quicker

    Taller tube section also give more weight of stack to seat the bullet into the flared case

     

    Dropper body changed to steel? Seen the original alum dropper bodies destroyed by monkeys with channel locks cause they wouldn't loosen a lock ring And seen grooving from the steel ball bearings as well in high volume usage  big enough issue MBF sells dropper bodies as a catolog item

    Delrin balls prevents the grooving btw

    those changes worth the price difference in droppers?  Maybe

     

    The adjustable stand ?

    Ok that's a nice touch gets the weight off the case feeder

    Not sure it's worth the coin but nice touch and maybe needed if going heavy on bullets

    125    230gr 45s and you start out with 4lbs hanging  there

     

    The bigger collator ?

    Commercial loader market and mine is bigger than yours snob appeal ?,

     

    You need to refill primers every 100ish and top up the powder measure anyway

    What's it take to dump a yogurt cup of two of bullets in at that time?

     

    Rick developed a good concept

    Saul had the funding to comercialize it

    and factory produce it 

    Then tweak it and upsize it for the comercialized And conspicuous consumption crowd

     

    he's charging what the market will bear

    Mbf Feed assembly, upperparts caliber specific?

    Correction

    Final answer is YES

    the switch tube assembly's for MBF  feeder dies are caliber specific 

     

    BUT I've not had issues loading 44s using 45cal colator plate/switch tube/feed die/ plus a third party 44 powder/ expander

     

    AND loading 40sw with 45 colator plate and 45 switch tube with 40 feed die and powder thru expanded works 

     

    9 mm  works with a 45 colator plate 9no feed die and expander

      but the 45 switch tube is too big, it don't get a clean stack up with 147 r n but will work with the occasional tap 

    But 95s are just an ugly jam up which I expected since they don't do well in the larger output spring either

    So that combo is a fail

     

    I don't have a 40 switch tube to try with 9mm but I'd expect that to work since 40 works in 45 and the size differences are the same between 40 and 9

     

    So if you want to set up a multi pistol caliber MBF you don't have to have a full conversion set just the feed die and an expander in the smaller caliber if you have the full setup in the next size up

     

    Just a fyi for folks like me that want to move up from a one caliber mini MBF

    to a full motorized multi caliber  MBF setup

    I welded up the front sight dovetail on a full length TS slide, removed the bushing and modified it to get the barrel out the front, the barrel is a 6" 75 barrel, trimmed to 5.5".

    Saw the lug clearance cut in slide

    Any ball park idea on what the comp and slide machining ran?

    I've got a spare 9mm ts slide and I'm getting ideas my wife won't like?

     

    This too me is your nicest build!

    And the others weren't bad!

    This is just ,...........BETTER!?

    Your open tacsport use a lightened regular ts 9mm slide modified for reverse plug and cone comp?

    Standard length ts barrel threaded for the cone comp or needed to be shortened?

     Beautiful setup BTW!.

    No, the TSO slide is taller than the Czechmate slide, Matt Cheely is thinking about making one for the TSO, so if you want one send him an email and let him know.

    Would a cheely 2011 90 mount work for that?

    Mocking up a non set back 90 cheely (#118) for a 2011 on  my regular tacsport 

    It looks like enough clearance to the slide, maybe too much?

    Or are the tso,s taller than a standard?

     

     

    Mbf Feed assembly, upperparts caliber specific?

    Addition

    I want to get a full mbf in 9mm and use it load 40 also

     

    I have the 40 alum feed die only, not the upper half 

    and the expander powder funnel from a mini kit

    I know I'll  need a 40 collator disc to  use in a full mbf

     

    Question is since the mini mbf uses the same magazine tubes for 9 and 40,  but 45 is different

    are the      brass  /poly tube/switch assemblys for pistol calibers for the full mbf all the same item?

    Or caliber specific?

    The feed die has enough funnel at the die that they could be the same switch piece for all pistol calibers to save tooling costs In manufacture

    And I know all the pistol cal mbf use the same large spring between collator and switch tube

    All the rifle use the small spring, for same reason it cuts production and inventory costs 

     

    I emailed rick @  mrbulletmrbulletbiz but didn't get a response

     

    If somebody who has a 9mm mbf would see if a 40. Bullet will drop through the switch tube that will tell me exactly what I need to order to make that combo work without unneeded leftovers

     

    If a 40 drops through a 9mm switch tube all I need is the collator plate for  40

     

    I don't load both 40 and 10mm so didn't want a full 40. Conversion kit wen I've already got half of one

    I'm using a Cheely for an STI.  Had to drill/tap the frame myself so I figured I'd go with the more available hole pattern.  Cut off front hole and sanded.image.jpeg.d7013370ac4681d9736dc81feace1419.jpeg

    That's what I hoped to do as I have a cheely in hand it the standand 118 not the setback you used tho

    Compensator length of threads??

    K

    I've read and reread all the posts on home building an open cz I could find back to 2012 especially kneeling atlas ones

    , unfortunately a lot of older images are gone.

     

    I'm getting buffer over run error messages on my brain?

    Didn't make enough notes and can't remember where I saw what any more.

     

    Best I can tell .550-600 of female threads in comp is standard requirement?

     

    So factory suppressor barrels with .450 of threads are out?

    If so then the only viable options seem to be;

    Use a ts barrel in an sp-01 slide.

    Suggested comp for that without turning down barrel?

    Or

    Use a 75b slide and 75b 6" barrel cut,crowned,and threaded 

    With a lonewolf or sjc 1/2-28 glock comp

     

    Did I miss anything pertinent?

    Any other options out there?

    Anybody know the threading on the tanfo  unica comp on the domina?

    That looks like a sexy candidate for a ts frame, ts barrel, sp-01 slide combo if threads are workable?

    Cz open build suggestions wanted

    in Open Pistols

    Posted · Edited by jbinpa59

    OK thinking about drinking the open koolaid

    Primary intended purpose is 2-3 local club level outlaw steel matches per year to see how bad the bug bites

    so not wanting the investment of a chechmate.

     

    I prefer cz style frames

    I've got kimber/para /auto ordanace so I know the difference in feel of cz compared to 1911/2011's

    I know I can load longer in large frames giving more powder choices for 9major

    I've read all the cz open threads I could find.

     

    CZ's I currently have in hand are;

    TacSport in 40s&w for Limited major plus a complete 9mm upper for minor/plinking

    SP-01 9mm set up for production

    SP-01 9mm with vortex viper on a dovetail mount for CO which is mainly what I shoot now ( I plan to get the slide milled )

    75B 9mm loaner,plinker, $350 project base,  gun bought used excellent other than a slightly pimpy color scheme stock internals

     

    Prefer to make as few permanent mods as possible at this time to SP-01,s

    Willing to mod the 75B

     

    My proposal:

    Buy

    CZ USA threaded barrel in 9mm (I know the 1/2-28 threads limit comp choices)

    Glock compensator or ??? Open to suggestions not sure I want to cone comp slides tho

    Steel extended guide rod as locator/lock for comp?

    Should total $350-400ish?? 

     

    For steel my existing mags collection is gtg

    If I go to open I'd need 3-4 140mm and 1-2 170mm basepad /spring setups to add to current mags ~$250ish

     

    Slide?

    Use the SP-01 CO slide /vortex combo? Already has clearance hole for guide rod 

    Or the 75B slide with a dovetail mount for now? Adds $230 vortex plus needs drilled for guide rod

     

     

    Frame choice?

    If I use an SP-01 frame may be heavier.   but already has some cgw parts/polishing

    75B frame should be lighter, but totally stock internally so would need some parts and polish work

     

     

    Or just go for it and drill the 75 frame for the guide rod and a frame mount and jump in the deep end

    Which I can do on a Buddy's Bridgeport

    Add about $100 for mount and I'd need the second vortex anyway using the 75B slide

    $50 for another data racer block

    $300-350 in tune up parts and kneeling atlas's tuning guide 

     

    Might manage to do a 75B based full build for $1350-1400 plus the 75b in hand? Which is what I'm leaning towards doing

    Or a steel oriented poor boy open cz for a $400-500 outlay by Lego blocking a frame/co slide/barrel-comp setup??
