Bravo_Victor Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 So ive been shooting a Czechmate for some time now and have my set of spare parts and pieces i bring to all matches but I have an Akai 2011 Open gun thats almost ready and i was wonder what you guys recommend for must have spare parts or even tools. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMike Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 An extra recoil spring & a couple extra magazine springs/followers. An extra battery for your red dot. And if you can afford it, an extra pistol. Also make sure your grip screws are tight before each match. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echotango Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 (edited) Aside from a 2nd gun, grip screw and nut, safety, slide stop, battery and Allen wrenches for all screws on gun(and your rig). That is all I carry but would most likely go to 2nd gun if something happened. Edited March 30, 2019 by echotango Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bravo_Victor Posted March 30, 2019 Author Share Posted March 30, 2019 A second identical gun wont come anytime soon considering it has every bell and whistle he can do the gun. My wallet simply wont allow it right now lol. I’ll def look into the other suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt1911 Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 I would keep the CZ as a backup gun. It may not be the same platform, but it'll get you through the rest of the match without having to buy another gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posvar Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 I carry a new firing pin, all springs, Dawson screw kit, extra fiber rods, batteries, tools etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theblacklabel18 Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Extractor, firing pin stop, firing pin, grip screws, slide stop, recoil spring, batteries, lens wipes, lube and brush, mag brush, slide racker. Should cover most potential issues. Best of luck!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traingq Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Like other said, I always have a backup gun. Also carry an extra firing pin, batteries, grip screws, recoil and main springs, aftec springs. Also a small tools kit and a cleaning kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had the original ones in there for the past few years and so many rounds its not possible to keep track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep new ones on hand and just compare them when I clean. If they are really short I change them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replaced it and back on track. I know change them more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewbeck Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 The cups are most prone to breaking and then the extractor itself. i have this onhand and a backup gun if the frame, barrel, or slide cracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewbeck Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 And it’s all fit, or at least has been run in the gun enough to know it will run 95% ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furrly Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 2nd gun.. Always need a back up.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimF38sup Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Extra batteries for the red dot. I carry my (old) backup. Needed it once in 3 years average 3 matches a month. It's hardly worth the trouble but I probably will still bring it as all the matches are a 125 mile drive each way. I wouldn't work on it at a local match, just take it home and fix it. Factory STi GM Major match probably a different story, but there (used to be) supplies and gunsmiths there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drewbeck Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I like this. A lil much for some but great to have. Mine is close to this.I agree, this is more of a box of parts that wear and eventually need replacing vs an emergency repair kit but it’s a small enough box that it really doesn’t matter to me that I’m carrying the extra stuffSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigboy69 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 My emergency kit is: Full ignition kit Grip screws Springs: main, firing pin and recoil Plunger complete Batteries Trigger guard bushing and screws Various screws Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewbeck Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 It’s also good to carry spares of things that you’re likely to lose if disassembly in a windy, rocky, safety area when in a hurry.Pin sets, springs, etc may not be a part that breaks all the time but finding a plunger spring in a weed patch makes it worth carrying an extra whenever I’m shooting.
