CarlB86 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 https://www.facebook.com/Impact-Machine-287801658513376/ They just got done cutting my Stock III slide for the SRO. Impact Machine aka Cajun Gun Works was wiling to give the RMR/SRO footprint a shot for me. Can't wait to go run this. My first slide was a Vortex Venom, so this has a much larger window.

Dazhi Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Nice! How wide is the screw spacing? I thought the holes are going to be on the edge of the Tanfo slide for the SRO/RMR footprint. Does the SRO housing cover the extractor pin? E.g. do you have to take the SRO off the slide if you need to clean the extractor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlB86 Posted August 25, 2019 Author Share Posted August 25, 2019 Wide, but it fits. Yes you need to remove the optic if you want to remove the extractor pin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, can you post a photo of it to see how much they needed to cut off it?Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tirppa Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 The optic covering the extractor pin is a bit annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazhi Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 How many rounds can the extractor work correctly without detail strip cleaning (assuming you put on an extra power extractor spring)? It can still be cleaned somewhat from the FP channel. I have had close to 5k without taking the extractor out to clean. If it can last 20k, I'd say the trouble is worth it.

Yondering Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Serious question: Am I the only one bothered by the burrs in the front slide cuts? As a machinist, those stand out like a sore thumb to me, and I'd notice/feel them every time I used the gun. To me they indicate the person who did the work skipped the deburring step to save time, but deburring should always be part of the job. But maybe it's not noticeable to the rest of you guys?

I didn't notice anything myself, but if I look for it after you pointed it out I can see it. Doesn't bother me enough to clean-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk Ok, so the firing pin did need to be cut, also the depth of the hole for the spring deepened, since it was too shallow after removing material. Causing the spring to bind. I'm traveling, but will post some pictures ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

af_tt Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Pretty cool set up, are they going to offer this from here out? I just found a Stock 2 on my local armslist and this would be a fun project.Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlB86 Posted October 8, 2019 Author Share Posted October 8, 2019 I believe Scott at Impact Machine will be offering these for Tanfoglio. I'm the test subject and will be putting more rounds through it, but so far no issues. Just send him a message or call. I'm not sure if a Stock II needs lightening cuts to make weight.

If it can last 20k, I'd say the trouble is worth it. 5K is about the point where I have a ftf and then pull the extractor and clean it. Maybe there is a way to stretch the interval. I was surprised that changing from a dirty powder (titegroup) to a clean powder (sport pistol) did not seem to change the interval. Is there any reason to choose a trijicon over a Leopold ? My assumption is the latter wouldn't hang so far forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlB86 Posted October 20, 2019 Author Share Posted October 20, 2019 (edited) Less prone to break, better dot options, nice round window, most common optic mounting footprint. Someone might prefer the DPP which is a valid option. Removing the optic once a year to clean and rezero is my current plan. I generally can make it without a detail strip of the extractor in that 10k-12k range. I do use a small pin sized scraper to get build up off it and surrounding area after 2-3k.

Do you know if there is any data that says they are less prone to break or is this a perception? Would like to find most reliable if there is such a thing, seems like what I find is threads saying all of them break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlB86 Posted October 20, 2019 Author Share Posted October 20, 2019 First batch of SRO's died early on due to defects. They seem to be the longest lasting along with the RMR Type 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
