After about 1000 rounds I am loving mine. Most of my early problems were self inflicted. The videos on U-Tube helped with the case feeding issue and just getting familiar with the machine solved the rest.
Hope you get it figured out.

I got my USPSA style competition A-01 holster at Red Hill Tactical.

Lighter Mainspring, lighter trigger return spring and lighter sear spring. Remember, your scale and somebody's on the internet may not agree.

Without seeing your pistol I am loath to give out advice. Have you checked and polished the rest of the usual areas as shown by kneeling atlas? I would make doubly certain that the problem is in the disconnector. Phone CGW Monday.

I've done this on three CZ's and never had a problem BUT there are always the chance of stacking tolerances so usually there is a disclaimer that some fitting may be required. I have had to fit some "drop-in" parts.

Good reason to pick up one of the used LabRadar's being sold relatively cheap in the classified section as people buy the new hotness or buy the Garmin. My LabRadar has worked well for me and it doesn't care what type of bullets I'm using, or the orientation of the sun, wind, or phase of the moon.

Also a fan of the Lee U-die. Fewer rounds not passing case gauge.

Older and I like green, especially if low sun, first stages of the day. I use green fiber in my iron sights and green in my "red" dot.
Thank you Holosun

Did anyone use double ended double ended wad cutters? Some of the research I’ve done points toward the hollow base ones would break the skirt off and the next shot would bulge the barrel.
I have used double ended but went back to hollow base because of slightly better accuracy. Never heard of the skirt/barrel bulge problem. Maybe a squib not a bullet problem???

What game ? If its USPSA unless rule has changed. Hit steel that doesnt fall is a Range failure and reshoot.
Only if it fails calibration and only poppers are subject to calibration 4.3.1.5. I'm not a M or GM shooter and just enjoy the competition.so happy to shoot a clean stage.

Good advice...IMHO

Looks like the rear part of the henning extension hits the magwell.
That is where mine hit, I used a small needle file to remove some material from the magwell.
Made a groove for the plunger that releases the base for cleaning.
-
Can the magwell or bases be filed to fit? I had an issue with my Henning and a small bit of filing on the magwell easily fixed it.

FYI mainspring has little to do with SA trigger pull as the hammer is already cocked.

I have a Lyman 12# digital scale and my S2O came in at just over 9#, changed to a lighter spring and now it's about 6.5#.
-
Also scraping the coating when seating the bullets can produce smoke, double check the expansion die setting to make sure. You usually need more than with plated or jacketed.

Yes but part of it was just the learning curve using a different system. I had a similar learning curve with the LnL.
-
I went from a LnL to an X-10 and it's nice....not a game changer. I will say Hornady's CS is heads and shoulders above Frankfort's
-
Sorry for your problems, they sound MUCH worse than mine.
The lack of a comprehensive parts diagram is crippling IMHO. With my Hornady LnL I can give a description from the parts diagram AND the part number, then they know exactly what I need.

Did you measure the ball
Of course not...LOL...if I was that smart I wouldn't have lost it in the first place.
I thought about that AFTER I reassembled everything.
-
Hopefully they will change their attitude and be more like Hornady. I have never had Hornady refuse to send me a part for free, but I gladly would have paid $2 for the part and shipping. At 74 crawling around the floor was not fun, just glad I was able to find it or my new press would have been useless.

I had to dismantle the priming system on my Frankfort X-10 press to remove a mangled primer. The tiny ball which helps index the gear which picks up the primers from the tube and rotates under the brass slipped away from me and last seen bouncing across the garage. OH SH#T! After unsuccessfully looking for it I emailed Frankfort expecting them to send me a new one. BUT NO! First they asked for pictures....of a lost part, then when I offered to pay for the ball I got this response...
"We do not have these parts available for purchase.
Thank you,

DTC Customer Support"Hornady sent me a new e-clip for the priming system in my LnL hours after I sent them an e-mail asking for a new one.
Faced with an unusable press I spent a great deal of time searching the garage floor and four days latter I found it That is not customer service in my option.
And I can hear the remarks about being able to find my etc,etc....

None of my CZ's are reamed. I load Bear Creek 135 gr. RN coated to 1.09 and no problems.
