arkadi Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I want to do a reverse plug for my CZ SP-01 Shadow Open gun. Do you think there is enough meat left - to stop the slide, after it is machined for the plug to hold standard diameter recoil spring?The barrel is machined near lower lug to clear the front of the slide? Any concerns or observations about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manolis Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 1.Did you stroke the slide? 2.The cut of the under side of slide is for weight reduction or for opening the pass of the barrel? 3.Is it possible to have dimensions of compensator? 4.Does it work without popple holes? Thank you. Manolis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 I have installed the Czechmate reverse plug on an SP01 slide without issues although you do need to trim the sides as the recoil spring tunnel is narrower than that of the Czechmate, and I did have to fit it a little so the barrel could make the full stroke.

Thank you. Manolis 1. Yes, the factory stroke of the TS is 2" (same as the Czechmate), I increased the stroke to 2.44", then installed a buffer which gave back 0.14". The stock stroke of a 2011 is 2.1". 2. The I cut the recoil spring tunnel to shed weight from the front end, the idea was for a long gun to transition like a shorty. 3. The comp is based off Jared Drinkwater's CFD comp, the ports starting at the muzzle are: 0.330", 0.490", 0.730" 4. Yes, I still plan to do some slow motion analysis, but I think whatever it gained in flatness was lost in increased blastiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my VS987 using Tapatalk 44.6oz, compared to the Czechmate at 49.3oz with the same grips/optic. I have a set of plastic grips I've been meaning to stipple, they're much lighter than the rubber ones which have steel cores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old558 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Awesome, is that sight mount available for a TSO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the TSO slide is taller than the Czechmate slide, Matt Cheely is thinking about making one for the TSO, so if you want one send him an email and let him know.

Would a cheely 2011 90 mount work for that? Mocking up a non set back 90 cheely (#118) for a 2011 on my regular tacsport It looks like enough clearance to the slide, maybe too much? Or are the tso,s taller than a standard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbinpa59 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Kneelingatlas Your open tacsport use a lightened regular ts 9mm slide modified for reverse plug and cone comp? Standard length ts barrel threaded for the cone comp or needed to be shortened? Beautiful setup BTW!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't use a 2011 mount, the geometry is all wrong. I think Matt is really close on the TSO mount, he just needs a little motivation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I welded up the front sight dovetail on a full length TS slide, removed the bushing and modified it to get the barrel out the front, the barrel is a 6" 75 barrel, trimmed to 5.5".

Saw the lug clearance cut in slide Any ball park idea on what the comp and slide machining ran? I've got a spare 9mm ts slide and I'm getting ideas my wife won't like?

I didn't pay directly for the work, so I don't know what it would cost, maybe $300 for the slide and another $300 for a custom comp. If you can find someone to do it. This was a unique, one-off project, I'm working on some easier CZ Open solutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sigsauerfan Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 wow. integral black looks mean. very special. i like the slide lightening work. you ripped quite some weight off that slide ; must be quite faster now. from the pic it looks like you removed the material on the front and rear to keep the weight distribution equally spread ?. after 10 years on this forum witnessing your addiction to TS's, i now get it since i've catched the illness too hahaha....i'm at my third TS build . it's a gun meant to be customized.
