    BOLO Tuning for a longer DA pull

    in Tanfoglio (EAA / IFG)

    Posted

     
    Can I use, or better said, would it be recommended to run PD's FP spring with any other hammer spring?
    wondering if this is what I need to ignite SB primers reliably. I am experimenting at this point but I do not want to go to the extent where I am mismatching parts for no reason. I don't want to waste money or time...
     
     
    I have shot about 30k s&b primers out my stock 2 with no issues.
    I run 14pound PD hammer spring and the Extreme firing pin with the light firing pin spring. No issues anymore. I think the firing pin also makes a difference.

    Alpha X holster ?

    I was using the Alpha X for my Tanfoglio stock 2. I kept having issues with the firearm catching on my holster. Personally i think it was just me.

     

    Other than that the holsters are great.

    Alpha X only has one mounting point and can be adjusted in basically any angle.

    BOLO Tuning for a longer DA pull

    My gun is slightly different since. I am based in another part of the world.
    In order for me to get the DA to work I had to get the Bolo to sit lower or further forward slightly over the ramp like the stock interuptor.
    So we cut the slight 45 degree angle on the top which allowed the tip to sit just over or past the ramp.

    Now DA works perfectly with it bringing the hammer far enough back to light all primers that I have tried. S&B and cci.

    I am using 14pd main spring

    Thank you for sharing your resolution. Once all the facts were in - it was popping those primers before, only the bolo was changed, etc - it was pretty obvious I had you chasing up the wrong (primer) tree for a full page of this thread.
     
    Sorry about that and I'm glad your gun is 100%


    No worries man

    I need to discuss with Joe first as my Stock 2 small frame is different. So I don't want to advise people wrong here.

    We took off material as normal on the bow part for the SA. We also took off material on the "tip" but also created an angle so that the edge of the Bolo actually sits over the ramp towards the magwell which allows the Bolo to get lower down on to the trigger bar and get DA but also long enough to touch the ramp when the trigger is pulled.

    Update for you guys:

    After spending 5hours with my Gunsmith and loads of measurements and one bolo later we have managed to find a solution. We had disassembled and reassembled the gun atleast 50times lol

    I have now installed PD 14lb hammer spring with the second BOLO.
    DA is 6lb
    SA is just over 2lb.

    I have made no adjustments to my primers at all. I shot about 120 DA pulls today with Zero light strikes on S&B Primers.

    Thanks to all for the advice and Thanks to Patriot Defence to an awesome product.

    what I did notice is the old interuptor does push the hammer further back than the PD Bolo

    When I fitted this bolo it would not work on SA. I followed the Instructions from PD website and got SA Working.
    DA would not even push the hammer back.. it seems we have a thicker trigger bar here in ZA.
    So I spoke to PD and Joe told me what to do and Now the DA does push hammer back and breaks as well fine.

    I think I just need the hammer to go further back on DA.

    I did read the thread. I have been following it from the first day.
    However I was unsure so I asked. Thanks for the response.

    I still don't understand the part about the primers but I will investigate more tomorrow.

    The same rounds work in CZ Shadow and CZ Shadow2 and those are also Hammer Fired.

    The other thing is that I may have did something wrong with the Bolo as prior to the Bolo installation I did not suffer with any light strikes.
