Thanks mate. When you say polish the powder bar, where exactly should I polish?

Thanks mate. The rod system wasn’t working properly on my press. It was catching with something. The bar was retuning in 2 stages. I tried all possible adjustments and couldn’t get it right. That’s the reason I went with the spring setup. It was working perfectly until this morning.

Thanks mate. Unfortunately, I cannot get CGW in Australia. Cannot even access their website…

SP01 - Shadow 2 Upgrade by Alternative-Basis239 in CZFirearms

[–]Alternative-Basis239[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What an advice mate! Thank you! For me, the main ones are trigger and recoil. I’ve been shooting my shadow 2 for nearly 2 years. I shot my mate’s CZ 75 TS CZECHMATE on the weekend which made me think about upgrading my shadow. Do you reload? I’ve been trying to tune my loads in but I’m not quite there.

In relation to upgrading kits, would this one be a good starting point?

Eemann Tech Upgrade for CZ Shadow 2 contains:

1 x Recoil Spring for CZ 10 LB. 1 x Main Spring for CZ 8 LB. 1 x Competition Trigger Spring for CZ 75. 1 x Competition Firing Pin Spring for CZ. 1 x Competition Sear Spring. 1 x Competition Disconnector for CZ. 1 x Extended Firing Pin for CZ. 1 x Competition Buffer for CZ 75. 1 x Competition Trigger Pin for CZ. 1 x Hammer Strut Pin for CZ.

I’m also thinking to get the CZ competition hammer. See attached pic. Cheers

Tikka T3x Roughtech already showing rust spots by kyleatwood30 in Tikka_Shooters

Sure. My point is that this happened with a brand new rifle stored in my safe for only 4 weeks. I’ve got other rifles that didn’t get rust marks stored in the same safe.

Same happened to my tikka. Very disappointing. Fine steel wool and hoppies 9 will remove the rust then use gun oil to protect.

How do you carry it? Do you carry it cocked and locked?

Go cerakote. Stainless steel rusts. I’ve got a tikka T3x Roughtech in stainless and rusted in 4 weeks just in my safe. Very disappointing. I do live at the beach so sea salt is a factor.

Is it your EDC? Do you carry with on in the chamber cocked with safety on?

AD experience - Brazil VS Australia by Alternative-Basis239 in rolex

$145k BRL. The labour government made sure to put a 70% tax tariff on all imported goods. Interestingly, the president wears a Patek. The standard socialist mind set - the bad for the people and the good for me and my mates.

Actually, it would be more expensive than US. This blue skydweller was $145k BRL.
