Dan4147 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 I need to get someone to machine (stroke) my Tanfo Gold Team slide. Trying to improve the pistol, and a few very experienced Tanfo guys have recommended this. Very simple and should only need to send the slide as there is no work to be done on the frame; this is not like a 1911/2011. I will contact Patriot Defense, and probably post this in the Tanfo thread here. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Isn't it as simple as machining the recoil spring tunnel? Any machinist can do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toolguy Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 What is the benefit of doing that, and what do you machine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benefit is supposed to be to soften the pistol by increasing the length of the slide movement. What you do is take some off the dust cover to allow the slide to travel father to the rear while it's reciprocating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBertolet Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Be careful of making your recoil spring coilbound, if you take off too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
