george76904 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) Does anyone know where to find either 13 coil grams spring kits, or just the followers for large frame tango? I can get 11 coil spring kits but I need to re-spribg some big sticks. Yeah! 300th response Edited February 5, 2014 by george76904 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) George - As long as you don't want it mailed to an address in the Ukraine, it's yours! Do you want me to email you a picture before you decide? If so, pm me your email address. Yeah, Beven is the best source for tanfo/caspian mag followers.

kneelingatlas Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 Rich of Canyon Creek Custom or Jim Bodkin of JD Sales are good, but I'd be happy to help you do it yourself I just took 60 something pictures while tuning up an SP01 with the intention of making a how to thread, the Tanfo is pretty similar.

I have a G34 thats been done over by Johhny Glocks that I use & love but curiosity has gotten the better of me .... I also have a sp01.... wasnt sure which one I wanted to soup up .... I'd be using it strictly for 3 gun, so I figured the SA Tang would be better .... I guess in reality all I need done is 1) new sights 2) better trigger 3) reliable feeding 4) Magwell 5) mag extensions is that all "doable" for the everyday Joe ? edit for #4 & #5 Edited February 8, 2014 by fireman489 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanniek71 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) Yes it's all easily doable. I did all that to my Tanfo on my own very easily and I'm new to them. I will say this though, I've tricked out many plastic guns and rifles in the past, but the info and resources are out there if you get stuck.

Nealio Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 "Reliable feeding" is a given. You just need to make sure your ammo is loaded correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireman489 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 well my ammo has never NOT fed in either of my Glocks.... over 10k rounds of this specific load....I had 14 FTfeeds in 50 rounds in my Tang..... so please define "correctly"....maybe the Tang likes different COAL's ??? Im running 3.2 of TG @ 1.135, FC brass & CCI primers some load data for 147g with Titegroup would be super cool... I have 6.5 & 8# recoil springs as of now....

Nealio Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 (edited) Is the gun brand new? Like most all steel guns you may need to break the gun in. I usually shoot about 500 rounds, use oil not grease, and clean the rails and re-oil every few hundred rounds. After that break in it should run 100% Also your mags aren't shiny black are they?

Tony S45 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Nealio, e-mishka: Can you explain more on your comments about shiny black mags and black followers? (My 9mm Match runs 100% with the six new semi-shiny black mags with black followers that I purchased new from EAA late last fall of 2013. On one side the mags are marked K9, and on the other side FT-Made In Italy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nealio Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Those aren't the shiny ones. The bad ones are gloss black with red followers, but they were replaced a couple years ago with the K-series mags. However last year when there was a run on mags some people reported they got the old ones from EAA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kneelingatlas Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) Since it's so hard to find .40 Limited pistols right now, is anyone interested in trading for my .40 Match upper? It has an EAA FO front sight (with green, red or yellow rods), adjustable rear and glossy blued finish, Depending what you have to offer I'd be willing to add/subtract mags or cash to even up the trade; I'd be interested in 9mm uppers (compact, standard, long slide or 6" (I can dream right?!?)), 10mm Hunter upper or perhaps others Edited February 11, 2014 by kneelingatlas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are u using newer mags with black followers? yes the black mags & black followers, gun prob has 300-400 rounds through it . I have a 38S barrel & a 9mm set up. Currently have a 6.0 & 8.5 spring. Maybe my G34 load is too short for the Tang ?? My G34 load PF is 130-132 just a FYI Edited February 11, 2014 by fireman489 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
