Steve Moneypenny Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I looked sights are there no springs it is a k100 x trim not an x calibur so I have cut down a mother spring I have for now it was a 13 pound spring shortened a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phucheneh Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Odd that those are coming with the red spring now. I wonder if Eagle would mail you the stock X-Cal spring, or one of the blue flat-wounds (if they have them)? I think a CZ or Tanfoglio spring, clipped as necessary, would do the job just fine, of course. Anyhoo, I got my X-Cal out again yesterday and got some more rounds down it. Academy had Monarch ammo back in stock, so I tried using some of it. It was brass-cased; I don't know if the primers are the same as their steel-cased (hardest primers I've ever seen in commercial 9mm; hard than Tula, even), but they are still quite hard. As a point of comparison, my SD gun is a Sig P290, which is totally fine with any quality ammo...all SD JHP's work fine, Winchester White Box, Federal/American Eagle, ect all work fine. I've had like one or two light strikes with Blazer. Monarch ALWAYS, without fail, takes two hits to go bang. My X-Cal (with the shortened hammer spring) had one light strike out of a 50rnd box of Monarch. Then switched to Blazer, which was flawless. Was surprised and impressed...my hammer is SO easy to manipulate, yet it still has enough inertia for 100% reliability with all but the worst of ammo.

Steve Moneypenny Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I have spoke with Eagle, they will call when they get some in stock. Until then i have a cut down CZ 11 pound spring in the gun. I'm going to guess I'll end up at 8 or 9 pounds with this gun and my competition loads. It's pretty amazing I can't wait to tear into the internals and get it slicked up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicVerAZ Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 Does anyone know what the width of the optic fiber used on the front sight? Mine is lost, so no means to measure. I have a feeling it is .060 but I need confirmation. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhunter Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 .060 is freaking narrow Typically a "narrow" front sight is .090" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck223 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 .060 is freaking narrow Typically a "narrow" front sight is .090" He's refering to the diameter of the pipe, not the width of the sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NicVerAZ Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 No worry The FO seems to be pretty standard. I just hate seeing it fly at the very beginning of a match and realize I have no replacement. Good thing that we are a good bunch and usually I can find someone who has FO but I hate being the beggar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyler2you Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Just got my basepads in from Springer Precision and thought I'd post a pic as I hadn't seen one yet. Fit and finish on them is excellent and I really like the additional weight and the color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to mount it on a BOSS Hanger when it gets here on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicVerAZ Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 Mine are in the mail. I ordered red. Because I live in a red state But I will still use strips of 3m tread tape. I have a huge roll to go through. Has Blade Tech even made a holster at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck223 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 You can get 10 round mags from the importer. They are the dimpled but uncut variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've talked about that a few times but right now with 15-round mags at $20 a pop it's not exactly talked about any longer. You need to call Eagle Imports at 732-493-0333, ask for Matthew.
