sheepdog69 Posted July 14, 2017 Author Share Posted July 14, 2017 is this the right one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 On a Stock 2 or 3, that leg lifts the firing pin block. That's it's only real function, as far as I know. Does this gun have a firing pin block? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MemphisMechanic Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Well... then you'll have to wait for someone else to come along to help with this one. @kneelingatlas perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kneelingatlas Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Like Evan said, the horn is for the firing pin block, if you run the EGW sear, the block won't work as designed. Most people just take it out, once you start tuning the trigger for shorter travel it doesn't work right anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepdog69 Posted July 14, 2017 Author Share Posted July 14, 2017 so in your opinion, ill get a shorter reset and better trigger without the FBG and using the EGW sear? if im assuming correctly is there anything else i need to do? and thanks for the wisdom, both of you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 The firing pin block doesn't effect the reset like on a CZ, shallow hammer hooks have a lot to do with a short reset as well as tuning the sear surfaces. I have some sear tuning instructions I've been meaning to re upload since I dropped Photobucket, stay tuned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalShooter69 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 (edited) You can get close with sear and hammer hook tuning, but here's the thing - a matched sear and SA hammer hook is going to be impossible without a mill and some kind of fabrication to hold it in place. A trained human professional can't get close to what a machine can do. That being said, you'll induce an unbalanced wear on the sear face and hammer hooks. I'm not saying it won't last... but might as well wait for Patriot Defense to drop the hammer & sear set... it's matched.

SoCalShooter69 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Also, if ypure looking for reset, you'll need to drop a titan hammer and bolo in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
