tdp88 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Who are you guys sending your guns to for trigger work? I’ve been looking at practically perfect performance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haiedras Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 I think Memphis Mechanic or Johnbu posted a pretty detailed explanation on what gets done. It's not nearly as complicated as a CZ, mostly because the safety and sear cage assembly are WAY easier to deal with. I'll have to look at my gun in a sec so I can remember what I do though.

CZ's are easier for me. The sear cage requires a close fitting slave pin (an extra sear pin is perfect) and a bit of patience but you only touch that once in the life of the gun. The safeties I think you just get used to messing with. With Tanfo's I run into weird dimension tolerance problems on some guns which can make you crazy, not usually but often enough.

MemphisMechanic Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Start here: Watch videos 1 through 4. Install a front sight, guide rod, single piece sear, and $20 worth of springs. Done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tampa-XD45 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 If you don't want to do it yourself, Henning recommends Jim Jones @ https://jandlgunsmithing.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 And your initial idea - practically perfect - is a good choice also. He does all of Ben Stoeger’s guns and they’re still racking up match wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLDave Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I'm pretty sure that Henning (or Henning's guy) did Ben's new Limited guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdp88 Posted October 25, 2018 Author Share Posted October 25, 2018 Of you guys who have a match and practice gun, do you send off both guns and get the same package? Or, do you run the practice gun a little heavier?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy a few different weight hammer springs (about $8.00 each I believe) and watch the excellent MemphisMechanic videos on assembly & disassembly.

drivingit Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I have two guns set up identical. Use one of them just for matches. Derek Guthrie at Practically Perfect Performance did my triggers and he does a fantastic job and is good to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbu Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Set the guns up the same, or as close as possible. (But i have only parts cost and my time invested.) Now, with that said, i DO change them with stronger springs in the off season. Trigger control is often my reason for C/D/M vs A/C and the higher trigger force requires better technique.

MikieM Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Several guns ago I did a trigger job on a new Stock II and with a little help from Memphis's videos, as well as John Bu's suggestions, I came up with one of the best triggers I've ever had on any gun. A very rewarding experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polished & tuned from the get go you should not notice change except from the hammer spring eventually getting weaker, which means you need to change it regardless. An off the shelf unmodified gun, yes, shooting it is effectively doing what is done by polishing & tuning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drivingit Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I agree with IHAVEGAS. I have not noticed any difference yet. I purchased them both through the Stoeger Pro Shop and had them worked on prior to them being shipped to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motherFNbrandon Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 if you have a spare bit of time and would like to get to know your gun better, i'd recommend using MM's tutorials to do the work yourself like others have said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdp88 Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 Thanks for all the insight everyone. I’ve decided to get two guns, I’m sending one to Derek at Practically Perfect and I’m going to try my hand at the other. I figure if I don’t like my own handy work I can always send in the practice gun too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
