slavex Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I absolutely hate the reset in my Stock II. I know we are limited to polishing and removing burs etc in PD, but I am curious if anyone has any suggestions on ways to improve the reset in the Stock II. having 3/4 of an inch of travel for the reset is a bit brutal. I've got the overtravel adjusted to the minimum possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OR,....maybe a new hammer may do the trick. I actually found the stock2 reset better than my cz shadow, and I doubt mine is more than 1/3 " reset. This is with OEM parts.

slavex Posted November 24, 2009 Author Share Posted November 24, 2009 This needs to be a picture thread so we can compare sears and sear legs etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maks_H Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 My reset is quite good wiht both sears and same hammer. But is still a bit longer than on Shadow. I am looking how to reduce DA trigger pull with OFM parts, any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am looking how to reduce DA trigger pull with OFM parts, any ideas? dryfire,...LOL. Light deburring,.....I have polished/ smoothed out the top ofthe trigger plunger. Underside ofthe sear cage, and hammer spring channel and strut could use some TLC. I am thinking the inside of the trigger plunger channel, but that is a tight spot. I use Slide Glide lite on the hammer spring /hammer strut/ plunger and the area under the sear cage and around the disconnector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Hepworth Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 also I noticed that a newer Stock2 in Canada had a stainless (ie: non-blued) hammer....? Mine has the blue one (circa early 2007), and I was wondering if it would make a difference? I would think it would as this hammer looks similiar to the LImited Custom hammer. What hammer do you have Slavex? I think the new Gun kote model has the stainless hammer as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slavex Posted November 27, 2009 Author Share Posted November 27, 2009 both my hammers have been blue. I had a stainless one, but that's because Sean sent me a SA one. It no worky in the Stock II. which was a shame, it was pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mo Hepworth Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 and? I bought a new stock 2 in Gun kote, Sean made sure it had the stainless hammer, slide stop, single sided safety and mag release. I will start to break this gun in after I pick it up tomorrow at the level 2 in Halifax, NS. I have always liked the look of 1911's blued,..but with white Ivory grips. I plan on getting either Henning thin aluminum grips in white, or maybe paint a set of factory aluminums white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bianchi Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 and? I bought a new stock 2 in Gun kote, Congrats - photos please.... I thought that the finish can't be changed in PD though. Bianchi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary1911A1 Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 I haven't seen any in the USA for sale yet. Maybe EAA is waiting for SHOT to introduce it. I'd like to see and handle one, but I think I'll just keep my regular Stocks for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mo Hepworth Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 (edited) got it. It came with a blue hammer,.but it was changed with a stainless hammer and left side only big safety. imho,...the trigger press is better than my stainless out of the box ( IE: no polishing or dryfire)..also the frame feels smoother internally ====maybe because of the gunkote finish??? Needs new grips....going to work on a white grip with punisher skull. BTW,..It says stock 2 on the slide...

slavex Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 I would prefer a right side only safety, if such a thing could exist. Maybe a flush plate on the left or slightly contoured or something. I'm going to order the stainless hammer from Sean. Also see if he's got stainless sears. Pics dude pics!

I'll have pics within 1.5hrs. I am painting my aluminum OEM grips ivory white. Just for fun for now. I cut a piece of grip tape in white and drew a punisher skull on it. I am right handed and like the leftside (big) safety only. It came with a blued mag release, but that is easily changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Hepworth Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 (edited) **Better pics uploaded! The gun is a dark blue /black. NOT with the red tint like in some ofthe photos....I am partial to the grip tape with punisher pic. the painted grips pics with blue frame are kinda off color,..the gun is actually a darker color likethe grip tape picture.

slavex Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 where does it say Stock II? I wish they'd toss the scroll script and go with a better text. I must say the blue/black is nice looking. I wonder how that frame would look with the stainless top end on it? I'm right handed too, but I hate having safeties on my handguns, moving it to the left side would keep it from interfering with my grip, but still usable if need be.

Mo Hepworth Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 TWO tone,...hmmm. I love the big safety,....helps me establish my grip consistant,...and make the transition to my standard gun with safety easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Hepworth Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 (edited) just something to note about the stainless hammer that came on the new stock 2,.....the DA ledge on the hammer is different than the blue hammer. ON the new stainless hammer, the roll off from the DA ledge goes from the normal flat area, to a small (ie: 1mm) angled section. This "roll off" area then goes to the SA ledge. Think of 3 angles instead of 2. Not sure if this is better or not. The trigger is not bad at all in SA compared to my older stock 2,..considering the amount of polishing, rounds, and dryfire thru my old stock 2. The DA is not bad either. I did some minor polishing of the bottom of the sear cage and top rear of the trigger bar (where they meet), and also the hammer, hammer spring, hammer strut. I did polish the plunger but found that channel on the trigger bar needs some more work as it had a crappy looking rut in it. I need to examine the angle of the trigger bar as it rides up on the plunger, as it also looks to start off really low (ie: near the tip of the front of the plunger, kinda too low IMO) I did some minor polishing of the outside of trigger plunger shaft, but I think the whole unit should be taken apart to polish the inside of that shaft, as you can really feel some roughness when you press it down with your fingers. I will likely polish some other items, the usual suspects; Guide rod, recoil spring, mag release, feed ramp etc.....not really necessary, but a nice touch.

Tanfogliofan Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 When I got my Stock 2 i was somewhat disapointed with the trigger quality. I had a CZ SP01 shadow with all the bells and whistles that I competed with for over a year. I took the CZ apart and studied what made the thing a custom gun and aplied it to the stock 2. Now the trigger is incredible! I smoothed out the double action tremendousely and the single action at a steady 2lbs makes this peace just right. I shoot a 124gr. bullet at a 130 power factor and the thing hardly moves. Now that I have the new mags that leaves the only thing wrong to be my shooting.
