thermobollocks Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 (edited) What'd you do for a basepad on the chopped Promag? Edited November 6, 2015 by thermobollocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 The first one I cut off at an angle and used, a CZC aluminum pad, but that was way too much work so the next one I'll just cut it off square and use a flat steel pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBaron Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Either try the CZ 25 round mag or use a CZ custom long extension on a SP01 mag.Long extension on an SP01 tube gets 25 with a Grams spring/follower.Good to know. Same grams parts for small and large frame mags? No. Lf and sf mags are totally different. Basically nothing interchanges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBaron Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 For large frame a k38 mag with grams spring and follower and henning base gets you 23-24 of 9mm or 38 super. For a big stick a weld up is probably best way to go. As kneelingatlas mentioned for small frame look to cz 75 stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBaron Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 It's one advantage the lf tanfos have over 2011s, cheap and super reliable mags at least for 140s. 170s are a bit more $$. But the basic k mags are so reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garmil Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Got czc springs and followers in the mail today and they aren't working well with my small frame mags at all. Don't sit close enough to the lips and every round nose dives pretty bad. Bent the follower nose high and same story. I think the follower is dragging in the mag. Just start filing? Not much material on these to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayougump Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 It's one advantage the lf tanfos have over 2011s, cheap and super reliable mags at least for 140s. 170s are a bit more $$. But the basic k mags are so reliable. Yep, the big sticks from EAA are expensive. I got 2 of the 38 super and wish I'd gone with something different. Using a modified shock bottle base pad and grams springs I can get 27+1 and can cram 28 in there but it's not as reliable as I'd like. Course I don't shoot open enough to really devote time in really testing and getting it tuned to run, something I need to do one day. I got too many Tanfos I think, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBaron Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 The stock tanfo 38 k mags with a Henning pad and grams spring and follower should hold 24 rounds of 38 and be reliable. Also not exactly cheap but super cheap next to a 2011 140. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogtired Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 The final piece are assembled. Hopefully my friend will be able to mount the Cmore next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogtired Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 Atlas is costing me money again, I found a slide/upper to whittle for the next project... I kind of like the two tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogtired Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share Posted December 17, 2015 Once I finish the first Ghetto Blaster, I was going to use the blue slide for milling practice. See what I can do with lightening, then do the other. If I like the platform, I may make a second open gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogtired Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 Its been a long cold winter but finally made it into the garage today and drilled the pistol for the Cmore mount. It still needs it all glued together but here is the starter blaster. I want to shoot it a little before I decide to drop the money on a SA trigger and magwell. Currently the SA mode is pretty nice.

dogtired Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 (edited) I took it to the range today. Worked up a load of 8.2 HS-6 and a 115's and made speed. The pistol shot pretty flat but being new to dot shooting I will have an experienced shooter give me an evaluation. Shot a plate rack or two without a timer and it handled pretty well. Working on mag capacity, only getting 21 in a 140 TF mag base, Mec Gar 17 and stock spring and follower. Interestingly, an 18 round CZ mag had a salt shaker incident in testing and popped out on its own a few times. It was unmodified. I assume that the extra recoil generated the malfunction. As an "Atlas Inspired" thread, I must included video. Visited the range again with the 11 y/0 in tow to video in slow motion (as I don't know how). Let me know what you think... http://vid101.photobucket.com/albums/m70/supercrewd/Witness%20test_zpsjdgk2x7t.mp4 Edited April 7, 2016 by dogtired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogtired Posted May 14, 2016 Author Share Posted May 14, 2016 I have still been in the testing mode. One of the problems I have had is the comp is rotating when I shoot it. I have once already dissassembled, cleaned and reinstalled the comp with red loctite, added set screws and still rotating. I will tear it down again and try another time. After that considering milling the comp down a little and seeing if that decreases the rotational forces. I installed a Henning flat trigger and while nice, it does not really reset in a snappy fashion. I need to tune this a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 That's looking pretty good! I may need to try one of those big comps myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeerBaron Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 I found the reset with the henning trigger too weak too. Buy the next step up in plunger spring and/or trigger spring from henning. I think I ended going up 2 steps on the plunger and up 1 on the trigger spring vs what is supplied in the kit. The kit comes with basically the lightest springs he offers for both plunger and trigger return. Even with those springs my trigger is still sub 2lb.

Dr Mitch Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Why not just cross-drill and pin the comp to the barrel? It would stop the rotation, and there looks to be plenty of meat for a small pin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogtired Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 The meat is a little thin on these comps due to the scalloping. The set screws I put in are on 45* for more meat. I have hit it with a generous amount of 272 loctite and it held up to a practice run today. I may shoot my first match with it on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogtired Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 I ran the poor mans open gun today in a match. The gun performed well with the exception of one poor ejection. Took a moment to clear. I had a few misses, not all A's but shot 75% of the M class open shooter who won the match. The new Henning straight trigger still needs a stronger return spring. I was riding it a bit and hesitated a few times. I dont really want to spend $27 on a spring (19 plus shipping) so I am waiting until I can bundle it with another order. I also installed the long reach trigger as I have big mitts, and had a few muscle memory problems. The old trigger was so short a reach that when I contacted the long trigger I hesitated a few times as I processed that info. The comp stayed put with a generous application of lock tite. I have some 140mm mags that hold 22. No issues with capacity though. Of course 170mm extensions would be great. Always fun to fling lead...
