scubadds Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) I want a 10mm stock II. But can't find one. I like the idea of converting calibers Is there any difference once a gun is converted? Do they lack any factory fitting? Is there a source of stock 2s or any coming? Or just buy what u see? Edited June 6, 2015 by scubadds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 The tolerance of slide to frame fit is a crap shoot, plus chances of getting a 10mm Stock II conversation are slim. If I wanted that setup I would buy a Stock I in 10mm, then a Stock II in whatever, then swat top ends. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=487082084 Are you stuck on the Stock II? Here's a great deal on a Stock III 10mm: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=487138249 Or a Limited Pro 10mm if you like the chrome: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=487344321 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubadds Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 Thanks!! Well I just wanted a great 10mm, and maybe a conversion slide or two.... I am not normally a chrome guy....is there preferred finish? I was leaning to full length dust cover......,but not stuck on it Dealer has match in, but not digging the 2 tone So stock 3 is same as stock 2, except the chrome? I am open to suggestions, I have learned to get exactly what you want the first time.....but not seeing all the guns in hand makes it tough to know what I like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 If you're not crazy about chrome, the Stock III is a perfect choice, it's a 1/4" longer than the Stock II and has the heft to make shooting 10mm loads much more comfortable. It has the competition frame with awesome checkering as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubadds Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) which conversion kits fit the stock 3? Standard conversion? I am getting confused Edited June 6, 2015 by scubadds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 which conversion kits fit the stock 3? Standard conversion? I am getting confused The Stock III is a longslide (4.75"), this will help with the terms: http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=178651 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubadds Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 Thanks! i am off to do my homework.... So, I can get the used 10mm stock, and hope to source a 9mm slide... Or new 9mm stock 3 and find a 10mm long slide.... Wonder which makes sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scubadds Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 Get a Match! Awesome bang for the buck and beefy. I started with the match, but seems the stocks were more desirable? I am all over the place ...lol Just want to get the right one.... Thanks all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) I guess it all depends what you want it for? Range toy? Hunting? Home defense? Zombies on PCP?!? DA/SA or SAO? Edited June 6, 2015 by kneelingatlas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubadds Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 For starters, just wanted to try a 10mm... Looked at delta elite; but got swayed away from them ... Saw the tanfoglio 10mm match at lgs, got me searching.... Seems the 9mm stock 2/3 were the favored so I figured I would shot more 9mm than 10mm realistically....

kneelingatlas Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 If it's just a range toy and a way to get your feet wet in the platform I would get a Match, it's a lot of bang for the buck, then if you end up with a high end Tanfo later you can swap the 10mm slide onto it. You pay a premium for the Stock IIs and IIIs in 9mm because that's the hot ticket for Production division and conversion kits aren't legal in Production.

aceinyerface Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 A Stock 1 has the barrel of the Stock 2 with the cone shape lockup. the frame is like a CZ. In stock at Tombstone The Limited Pro has the frame of the Stock 2 but with a normal barrel, also in stock. The Limited is the single action version of the Stock 2, also in stock. You have a lot of options without having to order a conversion kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kneelingatlas Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 God choice Freudian slip? An apt one for the 10mm such a righteous round that if archangel Michael were walking the Earth today he'd be vanquishing souls with a steel 10mm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, don't think so although I think a lot of the 10MM too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
