jmleenz Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 hello all - this is my first post here... I have a new EAA Gold Team that I am currently running with a C-more and a Hennings frame mount. I want to go with something with a lower sight picture so a nice low slide-mounted Docter seems to be the best bet. A couple problems though...the rear of the slide is already milled out and there is also a small pin/spring (firing pin block?) that resides there. Also, the slide racker sits in the dovetail where the rear side would normally be. My question is; Has anyone seen a slide mounted Docter type red dot mounted on this gun or a similar kind? If so, does anyone have any pics? Any projected issues with the firing pin/springs and or the dimensions with the rear of the slide? I have attached a few photos so you can get an idea of what I'm talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jostein jensen Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 have you concidered the "upside down" on the side mount for the C-more? can't remember what it was called, someone please spit it out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 it looks like the cut on the back of your slide is for their version of a bomar. Call docter and I bet they have a mount that will go right into that slot. You can slide the mount in and then bolt the docter in place. Quite an easy job.

JoshF Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 (edited) The pin sitting in the rear sight hole is the firing pin block. It can be removed without issue as we did it on my dad's Gold Team. Keep in mind you ARE DISABLING A SAFETY. If you are ok with that then pull the firing pin (similar to a 1911) and the block comes out with it's spring. You'll notice the trigger might be smoother after reassembling as well. I believe there is quite a bit of metal there to melt in your Jpoint/doctor. The two men who could best answer if it's been/can be done would be Henning who you can find in the dealer section or Rich at Canyon Creek Custom who has done some extensive Tanfoglio mods. The mount that goes on the side is a "Barry Mount" named after the creator (forgot his full name). My dad has one of these as well and it's kinda slick on his STI. Not sure how the geometry would match up with a Gold team as the scope mount holes to slide top are different I believe. The Barry on a STI puts the c-more lens RIGHT on top of the slide so that may make clearences close on the Gold Team You'll love the Gold Team, I've shot a few and love them. Have one on order myself Edited January 23, 2008 by KSmoker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeoHallak Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I asked Barry about his mounts on a Tanfoglio and he says he hasn't tested one yet to make sure its all good. Leo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinUSA Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Beven Grams mounted mine for me. You can't use the slide racker when the scope is mounted. Picture of Tanfoglio with Docter scope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeoHallak Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I knew I had seen someone who had that done. Great looking gun with that doctor on it. Leo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neomet Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Perhaps a Barry without the holes drilled in it would work? I think the dustcovers are the same with as S_Is so it should line up on center alright and you could adjust the heigt by where you drill the holes in the mount. Just thinkin' out loud here.....

jmleenz Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 Beven Grams mounted mine for me. You can't use the slide racker when the scope is mounted. Picture of Tanfoglio with Docter scope YES! That is EXACTLY what I am going for! I am currently running the C-more on a Hennings mount and I just cant get used to the super high sight picture. I zero'd it in @15yards, which puts me about 8" high @25yrds! Thats just too much adjustment for me. Your Gold Team looks amazing. I have been searching everywhere for some one with that exact set up. What did Grams charge you for that set-up/machine work? Is that the Gen. 4 Docter? Any problems with the sight so far? Would you mind sharing more detailed pics of the Docter set-up? Mine is .40S&W. Have only put about 100 rounds of factory speer through it but had zero failures. Here is some pics of the pistol as it sits: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you mind sharing more detailed pics of the Docter set-up? I honestly can't remember what the cost of milling the slide was, it was a while ago so perhaps prices have changed anyway. Best bet is to give Beven a call and ask him, he used to do special pricing if you bought the Docter scope from him at the same time. Mine is 4th generation but the latest scopes are even better. I've had this one for several years (it was on my SVI before this gun) and I've not had a problem with it. I don't have any other pictures at the moment. If I can find some time I'll try to take some more and post them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxshooter Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Brownells carries a mount for the J Point that fits a Bomar cut. You might contact them and find out who manufactures the mount. You may be able to order one for the Doctor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
