Stupid Question - Shadow 2 Barrel Compatibilty

[Hennig]

Real quick one fellas.

 

Buddy of mine has a S2 with a cooked barrel. Apart from the length difference, is there any mechanical reason a CZ75 barrel wouldn't work in the interim (I have TS barrels etc here).

 

I haven't had his barrel here, but from the pics I can see there were some changes to the geometry of the peanut - dealbreaker?

 

Thanks guys.

OH man, when I had them out side by side I was just looking at external dimensions. I didn't look at that particular area. A regular shadow barrel will be too short to work in a shadow two is the first big issue.

and yeah, the shadow 2 peanut looks even to the naked eye to be enlongated compared to the shadow barrel. couple that with the shorter length and it wouldn't be a swap i'd do.

Doesn't the S2 use an Aussie length barrel?

[eerw]

S2 is AUZ barrel length. like 4.925.

TS barrel is longer.

i dry fit my aus barrel in my shadow 2 and it fit. but i did not shoot the gun with it in.

[eerw]

TS length match barrel in Shadow 2.

about .5 inch.

Hmm, Im tempted to do it for science.

 

But also don't want to ruin anything so it probably wont happen.

 

Thanks for the help guys!

I just ordered a new barrel for mine after a similar mishap.  The CZC extended barrel they use for the accu shadow fits.  I believe it’s part number 30139.  It’s just a touch longer than the AUS barrel (which should also work, but I can’t confirm.)

The only issues I had was that it didn’t require fitting, depending on the tolerances  of your slide that may be an issue, for mine it just magically came out to the right size.  They also remove some material where the guide rod comes in contact with the barrel, such that the little nub on the end becomes useless.  This makes it tricky to get the guide rod into the hole on the slide, but once the slide is installed it seats properly on the frame.
