Completely agree. Leave it be and see what happens. Just throwing out ideas for future changes if the idea of 2011s and SAO in carry optics gains enough traction.
-
yes, I do. I meant to say that Carry Optics would follow the new / smaller box I talked about changing for production. I didn’t word it well. The idea is that carry optics will be striker fire or da/sa guns around the size of Glock 19 or 17 with a smaller than the current CO magazine size to keep it around 17 rd / mag. Then modified optics will be the current Carry Optics rules plus 2011s / SAO guns.
-
Yes, you are right. Base it off the production list which would be updated to the new rules / box.

Seems like the divisions have slowly lost their initial intent, which may be a good thing or a bad thing depending on your point of view. If people want 2011s / SAO in carry optics, then why not add a modified optics division which is the current carry optics division + 2011s/SAO and modify the current carry optics rules. Make carry optics a division with actual "carry" guns by limiting the use of long slide guns with a new smaller box and mag size limit to maybe 15rds??? Baseline could be the size of a glock 19 or 17. not sure. Just spit-balling ideas here. Maybe even create a modified iron sights division and update the production rules to align with the *new* carry optics rules above.

Pretty sure Dawson Precision has suppressor height sights for the 34 Gen 5 Mos

Sorry for the long hiatus. The weird feeding and cycling issue is resolved! Thank you for your help. It seems polishing out the small step across from the extractor solved the issue. What is everyone’s thoughts on weak ejection? I am running an 11lb recoil spring currently and experience a weird stovepipe once every 150-200 rounds. The brass is half ejected and caught by slide parallel to the round below it. Is that an extractor issue? I have the stock extractor spring in it currently. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I checked the breechface again and found a small "step" opposite of the extractor like you said above. I polished it down until it was smooth. Hopefully, this will fix the issue.

I feel it with all springs--8,9,10,14. Obviously it less pronounced with the factory spring, but it is still there. I will take another look at the breech face and see if anything stands out. How many coils did you clip? It being a magazine issue seems more and more likely.

I picked up some 115 RN FMJ OAL ~ 1.105 and 115 RN Blue Bullets OAL ~ 1.130 to try. Each round was plunk tested twice as suggested. They all passed, but the "ca-chunk" issue still persisted with all magazines at random. Any thoughts?

Yes, this is my first Tanfo coming from a Glock 34. The learning curve has been steep to say the least. I have been testing with factory ammo. 115 RN FMJ OAL ~1.160" and 150gr Syntech FN ~1.109" After looking around at everyone's reloading suggestions, it appears these may be too long for their bullet profile. Is there any factory ammo that will run without issue? I did not plan to reload anytime in the near future due to living constraints. I have rn blue bullet dummy rounds with OAL ~ 1.115 that cycle well by hand.
-
No, I've only used the regular power extractor spring with the old extractor. I will try the regular spring with the new extractor and see if it helps.

Hello, Recently, I sent a brand new Tanfo Stock II over to Patriot Defense for their patented tuneup and barrel reaming. They also installed the extended firing pin, titan hammer, bolo, one piece sear, and Xtreme trigger. Out of the box the trigger was PHENOMENAL, both in DA and SA. Unfortunately, the first range trip was plagued with failure to feeds, and a weird "ca chunk" whenever the slide cycled. After perusing the forums here, it seemed I needed to chamfer off the breechface edge and polish the breechface. I got in contact with PD and they confirmed it was probably the breechface edge issue and gave the go ahead to chamfer the edge while also telling me Tanfo's need a 1000 rounds to break in. They even stated there were no issues when it was test fired at their facility? I chamfered off the edge and breechface little by little like everyone suggested until the failure to feed issue stopped, but the "ca chunk" continued. Thinking this issue stemmed from the wolff 8lb standard recoil spring, I tossed in a wollf 10lb standard spring to no avail and a factory 14lb spring which yielded the same result. After noticing weak ejection with softer ammo and sometimes rounds getting stuck with the slide out of battery, I bought a new extractor with the (9) stamp and an XP extractor spring to cross this off the list (the original had a bunch of machining marks and no (9) stamp). Next range trip, the "ca chunk" continues and within 100 rounds two were somehow stuck in the chamber while the slide was 1/8"- 1/4" out of battery. I had to take the gun apart to get the rounds out since the slide was stuck. This makes me think there is something wrong with the barrel after it was reamed, maybe. The mags I am using are brand new K9s. The issue happens with all mags (12) and all ammo. Everyone that has seen it in slow mo and shot it agrees it's not cycling right. Any thoughts??
