scottrallye Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I did the thumb rest thing last week. Took a drill press to my TS (scary) but it came out GREAT. I'll post in a thread soon the entire process, as I documented it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdave24 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Looking forward to the process thread. Do you like the thumb rest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzt Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 GL, according to Saul, the SP-01 block is the correct one for the TS. He says the trigger shape is the same and you have to remove little material to get it to fit. I had no problem trimming mine to fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balmo Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Did a frame reduction on my CZ TS over the weekend. Just knocked out the 'waffle' checkering and flatten the hump on the lower rear back strap. The magwell flare on the front back strap is the part I had a hard time the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peplow530 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) Congrats on the TS, I recently just picked one up myself. Here's a couple pics of the progress, right now it's off to the paint shop for a cerskote finish. Edited July 14, 2015 by Peplow530 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosiershooter Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 That is super clean work! I really like the scallop on the dust cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peplow530 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) Thanks, started with a dremel, then to 5 different grits of sand paper, finished it off with two different buffing wheels. Edited July 14, 2015 by Peplow530 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toolguy Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 (edited) Can you tell us the hole positions and spacing for the thumbrest? How far down from top of frame to center? How far forward from center of slide stop hole to center of first tapped hole? Size of tapped holes? Presumably that is the same hole pattern as on the Limited (maybe). Really nice work BTW!

vixty Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I tried 4.6 TG at 1.13 180 BBI and it was 184 PF. I backed it out to 4.4 and will test it this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
