Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. I did order the correct ones, the mags bodies are tuned, I should preface that two of the big sticks are 170 extensions and only one is the factory 26rd mag. There just doesn’t seem to be enough spring pressure.
  2. I’m sure this has been talked about plenty I just can’t seem to find the topic. I recently replaced all of my czechmate magazine springs (4-24s and 3-29s) with grams springs and followers, and they do not work for me. The will barely feed rounds and only if they’re hand loaded. If I use a speed loader of any kind it’ll jam the springs up. That being said, I’m looking for insight on what people have been having luck with besides grams. I will be getting some mbx mags for match mags but I would like the others to function for practice mags. I’m not worried about slide lock or losing a round of capacity for reliability. Thanks for the help.
  3. Yes you could have, however with the cone on the sight block you’d have to keep that dimension intact and then you’d have to ream the original barrel bushing that much further. I thought about doing that as well but I didn’t want to deal with keeping the material around the cone intact
  4. So a few months ago I started researching how to make a shadow 2 into a sight tracker. And I stumbled across the open build theory thread by mr atlas, paired with some heavy google research and here we are. My shadow 2 project has a czechmate barrel and sight block. The slide from the shadow 2 has to be shortened about an eight inch for the sight block to be threaded completely on the barrel. However, there is enough material left on the recoil spring housing that you do not need to use a reverse plug. So you can keep your shadow 2 guide rod. I did end up putting a reverse plug in mine and stroked it 2 mm, but there’s no felt difference to me. The cone bushing on the sight block needed to be fit in the shadow 2 barrel bushing, so I used a step drill bit and a carbide cutter on a dremel to hand fit it. Definitely the hard way to do it, but it fits tighter than my original barrel and bushing. After that’s the front of the frame needed to be milled into accommodate the sight block sliding back. The frame itself doesn’t have to be shortened, jut opened up. The top of the sight block lines up perfectly with the slide and I popped in a 7.5 mm fiber front and let it eat. I know the machining isn’t the prettiest but I figured I’d share my experience with anyone who might want to try and do the same, or possibly run a comp and make a bad ass shadow 2 open gun. Big shout out to Kneeling Atlas for the help allocating parts.
  5. Where can a guy find a stand alone Czechmate guide rod in the US? I can’t seem to come up with any sources. Or do I need to look for a machinist to make some for me?
  6. I was wondering if you shipped the magwell out yet. An update would be appreciated, thank you.
