RoJo3430 Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 1 hour ago, Superkaratemonkeyfighter said: first i would just knock out your bushing and see if the sebo cone comp fits into the slide without boring it out. does anybody have a picture of a checkmate slide without a barrel in it ? ideally you would want that cone to match up to a taper in the inside of the slide rather than a 90DEG corner. I plan on removing the barrel bushing in the next day or two, and seeing if my extra Sebo comp will fit inside or not. I located a new guide rod designed for the TSO but its longer than the factory 95.5mm, and its 112mm. Using my calipers, it will just barely extend past the end of the slide. If it works, you would leave the plastic sleeve for the guide rod in the frame, and just use the longer 112mm guide rod and spring just like the TSO uses already. I outsourced a barrel from Bar-Sto and they will fit the barrel, comp, and slide, plus ream the barrel using my dummy round for $400. Considering all that, $400 isnt a bad price since I had to pay a gunsmith to have my titanium Sebo comp fit to my Czechmate, so that cost me over $400 between the work and the comp itself.

The OD of the bushing (17.3mm) is larger than the OD of the cone on the comp (16.5mm). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuayThaiJJ Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 I just got news that the clamp-on compensator for CZ platform will be produced in the next 2 weeks FYI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just get an extended barrel. CZC and CZ-USA sell 6" barrels, and you can custom order them from Bar-Sto as well. If you're using them in 0.55" bushing slides (SP-01, TS, S2, etc.) you could use a 0.50" bushing for the CZC and CZ-USA 6" barrels, or have Bar-Sto make you any OD you need. You could also use them in ACCU bushing slides with the correct OD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoJo3430 Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 New update. I removed the barrel bushing from my TSO, and used my Czechmate’s barrel and Sebo comp to get an idea if its going to work. It appears it will work fine once Bar-Sto makes me a barrel with longer threads which they can. As far as the guide rod system, its going to be easiest to utilize the insert the gun already uses. I will need a new guide rod that is approximately 118mm in length. This will allow the guide rod to sit just inside the edge of the Sebo comp, and the sleeve insert will keep it lined up when functioning. I tested the functionality of this using my Czechmate barrel and Sebo comp, and everything fits nicely. I contacted a local gun machinist shop about making a custom guide rod. I will try and meet with them next week to see if they can make me one out of stainless steel. If he can, I told him others would be interested as well. I’ll keep everyone posted.

sandflea316 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 I'm pulling for you for it to work. I'm going a different route and using the czc threaded barrel and 1/2 x 28 Comp. Had a carver glock comp that I mounted but could not get it to stay on. Ordered a sjc comp and shim kit to really torque it down with rocksett. Also will add some popple holes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This definitely isn’t the cheapest option. However, I believe it will look the best, and function closest to a Czechmate and save some money to build a legit CZ Open gun that will handle 9mm major loads. I would prefer to use the same titanium Sebo comp I use on my Czechmate, but I already have their steel comp on hand. That will cut my cost down a bit.

That makes perfect sense… you Franken the TSO with Czech scrap there’s nothing like taking a quality product and changing it and making it your own…you should call it the “TCO” (Tactical Czech Orange) I can just hear the purists! “ well it’s nice but it’s a TSO! Why would you mess with that beauty?” All kidding aside I think it’s gonna look awesome when it’s done. I can’t wait to see it completed. Thanks for the pics and Keep posting..

Doesn’t your czechmate come with two barrels? Have you tried cutting additional threads on the second barrel and try using that instead? Your TSO looks good with that Sebo comp on it. I might play around with my TSO and Czechmate since I got a second barrel that came with my czechmate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might play around with my TSO and Czechmate since I got a second barrel that came with my czechmate. It did come with a second barrel, but unfortunately the comp got crossed threaded on the backup barrel, and both got damaged. The Czechmate barrel isnt long enough to get enough threads on so the Sebo comp will be flush. That comp screws on a long ways, and the barrel needs to extend past the end of the slide about 1/2”. Using the Czechmate barrel, the end of the barrel sits just inside the the TSO slide. Cutting additional threads wont help because the Sebo comp is already flush against the end of the slide.

Yes, you definitely need a 6” barrel then since the stock czechmate and TSO barrels are only 5.4”. The additional 1/2” negates the cutting of the slide if us8ng the stock barrel.

As far as I know, its not going to be a normal item on their website. I didn’t see any barrels on their website for the TSO, so I had to email them and see if its something they would do. Im sure of it drew enough interest, they may make it a regular items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George16 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 I would definitely be interested 8n buying one along with the new guide rod so I can convert my TSO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
