    You shouldn't need anything moerw

     

    There's all the information you need OP. Remember, the OAL's listed in data/manuals (or provided by other members) is useless, always determine your own max OAL. Also, playing with OAL to achieve accuracy in pistol is a waste of time unless you're trying to shoot the wings off a fly.

     

    P.S. I don't find 0.1gr increments very effective, use .02gr-.03gr if you actually want to see a noticeable difference.

    Do you mean to say, 0.2-0.3 Gr because .02-.03 Gr is way less than .1 or .2-.3 Gr increments.

  3. Welcome.
     

    I had been at your museum multiple times and it’s a great place to visit every time I go see my folks in Rochester hills.

     

    Just check your profile and saw your name as Jeremy so if my memory serves me right, you’re the son of Mr. Marvin (founder of the museum.

    They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
    But I am still around

    But I do find it ridiculous that the springs are not labeled in anyway and the info on what they actually are is so hard to get. It's nice they include them, but it is of dubious value when you don't know what they are rated at. 

    I’m with you . I’d like to. Up a spring tester and test them myself just to be sure.

  6. @rowdyb congrats on your new S2O. My authentic Japanese ramen offer still stands when you come over to Florida 😀.
     

    With regards to springs, CZ USA needs to get there act together and be consistent on what they tell their customers asking for info. When I called them a few years back asking for info about the spare springs that came with my TSO and shadow 2, CZ USA told me that the three recoil springs are 11 lb, 13 lb and 16 lb.

     

     The 16 lb spring is tapered at one end and the gun ships with this spring (TSO) while the shadow 2 has the 13# installed. The other two springs are 11 lb and 13 lb.  HOWEVER, the longer spring is the 11 lb.  The 11 and 13 have the same number of coils but the 11 lb spring is longer. Additionally, guns shipped with a 20# main spring according to CZ USA.
     

    I have since installed an 11.5# main spring and 11# recoil spring on my the shadow 2 while the TSO still has the stock 20# main spring but I replaced the stock 16# recoil spring with an 11#.

    Hi, I'm new to the forum, but not to shooting. I've been shooting handguns since 1983 and more recently have been getting into Steel Challenge. I've been shooting matches for a few years and enjoy the game more than USPSA. I like the consistency Steel Challenge and the throw away sting is awesome. Glad to be here officially, I've lurked around on and off for years and decided it was time to join.

    Welcome. Are you the same guy with the same username on sigtalk forum? Great to see you here.

    Nice! I got along with the CTs on my ship and that's awesome you did shore duty your time in. I just got off sea duty last year and enjoying shore duty now. Thanks for your service and hope you didn't drink too many Chu-Hi s in Japan hahaha. 

    Great to see fellow squids stationed in Japan. Those Chu-Hi’s were the best drink you can get from the Lawson, 7-11 stores and vending machines. You guys probably spent too much time in Blue street.

     

    Did two tours in Yoko and retired off of the George Washington in 2011. My kids miss the yakitori at the end of blue stree close to the train station.

    I am trying to get started in uspsa in Open division, I would settle for any in stock 124 jhp to feed my honcho but checking PD, Montana Gold, etc daily has not been fruitful. Any recommendations? 

    Check out Precision Delta every Friday. I was able to order and receive the bullets (124 Gr JHP) within six days.

    Demand is off the charts; with the spike in prices driving 'cheap' 9mm up over $800/case in some markets, I suspect many have crossed over to reloading their own ammo. Look at the lead times Dillon posted for some of their products. 6 months to get a press in some cases?!? 

     

    ...and with tens of millions of new gun owners all demanding ammo and surely millions of new reloaders all needing components, well, clearly there was a shock to the market...with no end in sight yet.

    So COVID is not their excuse anymore? Last time I talked to one of the reps, he said COVID was preventing timely delivery of products they source out to other manufacturers. Case in point is the availability of carbide .223 dies. Apparently, the manufacturer is based in Northern California which has been impacted by COVID.

    I wonder if the S2 Orange part would fit? Looks very similar. 

    It’s similar and will most likely fit since he’s indeed looking for the Shadow 2 (S2) Orange part 😆. It’s the same gun model, S2 Orange and Shadow 2 Orange. 

  12. My 1999 4Runner with manual transmission, 4wheel drive, locking front and rear differentials. Bought it new when I was stationed as an instructor at the Naval Training Center, Great Lakes IL in 1999. It’s one year older than my son and wants to have it now.

     

    Used to off-road a lot in SoCal, Moab and Arizona when I was stationed in San Diego. I installed an ARB locking differential in the front to compliment the E-locker in the rear diff plus a 2” lift. I installed a bull bar, had the tube sliders welded to the frame for protection against rocks and a set of black steeel wheels and BFG TA/KO for wheeling along with a Warn winch. I removed and sold lift kit, Warn winch and set of steel wheels after retiring from the service since there are no places to go off-road here in Florida (unless it’s mud which is a pain in the ass to clean).

    Still running like a top after 21 years. Replaced the valve cover gaskets, camshaft plugs, spark plugs, spark plug wires, PCV valve and hose in the garage last week.

    I don't think the 21 round mag it's comes with will pass the mag gauge just a heads up.

    It won’t with the stock base pad but will pass the gauge if you use a TTI mag extension. You can also shave a little bit off of the stock base pad. Because of the slight variances on the magazine tubes, some mags with the stock base pads pass the gauge and some don’t.

     

    The 21 round mags that comes with the Max Michel 320 are the same mags that came with the original X5.
