ogiebb Posted December 11, 2013 Author Share Posted December 11, 2013 (edited) i think the spring is fine its just that we need a longer pin either someone has to weld extra meat on the back or make/fabricate a longer pin.. if we do we dont even have to trim the spring anymore.

bronson630 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) I fabricated with some help an extended baby eagle firing pin that is .050" longer than stock. Pics and a range report hopefully tomorrow. Edited December 13, 2013 by bronson630 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pics and a range report hopefully tomorrow.[/quotRange report- extended pin worked but not any better than stock. I added .015 to the back and .035 to the front. I am going to try again but not sure what to change. A cz extended pin adds .020 to each end. Not sure what to try yet, any suggestions are welcome.

bronson630 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 The Baby Eagle II has been added to the USPSA approved production gun list. I just looked it up on the USPSA website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 here is a pic of extended pin vs stock. I did not cut decocker notch wanted to confirm length first. With the extended FP there's not a lot of room for error; the first time I did it everything looked good but when I applied the decocker on a loaded chamber BOOM!!! It's hard to get the rear of the pin tucked all the way inside the retainer plate without any pin sticking out the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ogiebb Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 worst case scenario.. the factory or stock FP is still ok to use we just have to use an uncut 13 and 15lb hammer spring we will just have to wait for someone to make us an extended one.. i sent my Baby eagle for black mnitride and should be getting it this week. one thing i did notice once you have dialed in your loads and have zeroed the sights make sure you drop some (blue or red) loctite on the rear sight. because nothing is holding it except the dovetail...i see a set screw in mine in the future.

bronson630 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I discovered a problem, the decocker had a small burr on it and was dragging on the firing pin. It was random on how much it would drag each time I used the decocker. I fixed that issue, so I am going to make another extended firing pin possibly today and see if it works better.

You could also try reducing the weight of the firing pin and the hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogiebb Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 Update.. i found a Jericho 941 Competition hammer from a buddy overseas (he has a frame safetied jericho 941 w/ a skeleton hammer) i will install on my baby eagle when i get the time, it looks like a stock 2 hammer but a LOT narrower.. stock 2 hammer is a LOT wider and wont fit the frame without getting a good shaving , a good friend gave me a spare one and although it works it is very tight and needs some material shaved.

Xander Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I will be getting a two-toned 941F 9mm with a frame mounted safety, luckily for us here in the Philippines we have an IWI distributor here. I plan to shoot it in IPSC PD next year, I want to run it stock as possible with the exception of a 15lb hammer spring and a RP-TRS from CGW. Any recommendation where I could get a lighter recoil spring and what poundage if I'll be using a 135gr minor load? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xander Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Nice one kabayan! Looks great with the delta hammer and G10 grips I just ordered the two tone version, and I'll put a delta hammer too from Tanfoglio and a FO front sight with a LPA adj rear sight. Merry Christmas to all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogiebb Posted December 24, 2013 Author Share Posted December 24, 2013 Merry Xmas kabayan.. before you buy the LPA sight check it out first , it seemed to sit very high on the slide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Xander, the EAA Match adjustable rear will work and I'm pretty sure it sits lower than the LPA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John did you try it out?, i did not have good luck when i did. dovetail was a tad tight and i did not want to cut the slide more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 No, I measured it, but ended up selling my Poly Jericho before I got the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogiebb Posted December 24, 2013 Author Share Posted December 24, 2013 No, I measured it, but ended up selling my Poly Jericho before I got the chance. im not sure but if you have a part # for the rear sight that you measured ill try it out again on mine.. the one i got the rear sight base was HUGE and would require me to make the dovetail on the slide bigger. on top of that under the rear sight is a cut and a hole for the decocker plunger, cutting it deeper or wider might cause a problem with the FPB and decocker plunger.
