Removing staked pins from CZ Shadow 2 - the easy way
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- I’ve watched a few CZ gunsmithing channels now where the content creator complains about removing the staked pins and for good reason. They’re a challenge to remove if you’re hammering on anything with some give to it. By hammering on a concrete surface you’ll make things a lot easier for yourself. Use a dead blow brass mallet, something with some heft to it, not a plastic gunsmithing hammer, you’re not going to move anything with that. And use a starter punch with a tapered tip to prevent your skinny 3/16th punches from being deformed. The pointy tip of the starter punch fits in the divet of the staked pin, giving you more purchase on the pin.
Oh I've just now 9/24/22 seen your post here, I really hope your feeling better.
Please do take very good care always !
@Steve 24 Golden Thank you! Trying to live my best life everyday.
Wish this was posted a year ago. I went through a couple of punches. Great (very comprehensive) video. Again.
@Andrew Chang Sorry about that! I’ve had plenty of opportunities to demonstrate this in the past too and not sure why I never set things up to take a video of it. Glad you found it helpful and will minimize damaged punches.
Thank you🍁🇨🇦✌️
Enjoy living, be CZ passionate, among other things. Cheers from rural New Hampshire
💥🎯🏆👍🇺🇲
@Creighton Demarest Thank you! Cheers to you as well!
All my best. I knew once your videos stopped there was an issue. You stay strong and keep doing the best you can!!!
@Jim Davis Thank you! Trying to do as much as I can.
Awesomeness! Thank you very much for showing your talent, skills and knowledge. Praying for your good health and wellbeing.
@Myron Noland Thank you! I appreciate your appreciation and well wishes.
Hope you get well soon
@SNOW GORILLA Thank you! But no chance of that unless they come up with a way to regenerate lost myelin in the brain which isn’t happening in my lifetime, it’s all downhill; but I’m going to continue doing what I can and how ever long I can.
@@CZFanGrrl not to make light of your situation, I am sure on your journey you have seen others who are worse off, soldier on, I also have issues and will never make Grand Poobah but still have fun doin it. Best Wishes Snow
Thanks for the tips. Glad to see your back
I'm so sorry your not well. Be praying for you.
@Bill Shadrick Thank you Bill. Nice to hear from you again. How have you been doing?
@@CZFanGrrl I am well. Just turned 69 so my skills and stuff are not so good. Still enjoy competition but it's really hard on my body. Maybe I can squeeze another year or two out of it.
@Bill Shadrick You just go as long as you can. So important not to lose that social network and engagement. It’s good to hear from you and so glad to see a lot of my people are still around here.
Glad to see you back, and I hope that you get to feeling better!
@Jason Carpenter Thank you! Good to be putting out a video at least.
CZ FanGrrl! Glad you are back. I’m sorry to hear that you have had health problems. I will keep you in my prayers.
@John Frizzell Thank you!
My pleasure. I finally ran across a CZ Shadow 2 Carry Optics gun here locally and thought of you. I know that you would tell me to grab it. Stay strong my friend.
@John Frizell Yay! Grab it!! I’m already imagining how happy you are with your purchase. LOL! Thank you again John!
Hello my friend. Do you still recommend the Double Alpha PDR PRO-II Holster for your CZ Shadow 2 Optic Ready? I’m waiting on availability for the new Double Alpha Max Holster. Would love your feedback as always. Thank you.
@John Frizzell Hello and greetings! The Double Alpha PDR Pro II is a very solid and secure holster, I’ve never lost a gun out of it. Can’t say the same for the Double Alpha Alpha X holster. But I like them both. When I drop the gun into the PDR Pro I know it’s not going anywhere. I find I have to fiddle sometimes with the Alpha X.
Nice easy walk through Sister
As usual...Great tutorial. Hope you feel better soon !
@French Mastiff Thank you. Good to be putting a video out at least!
I hope you are well.
What is your preferred method for installing new hammer pins, and what kind of punch do you use (tapered starter, flat tip starter)?
@thatpointinlife Hi Ben, great question thank you for asking. If the pin has a divet in it, use a starter punch, which has a slight tip (to fit in the divet, often the pins are roll pins and not solid pins. If there is no divet you can use a punch to push them out. On the hammer the only pin that is staked is the disconnector pin. You can replace it with a solid pin. Contact with the frame prevents the pin from falling out. I think they stake it at the factory to aid production.
Useful.
@InSight Freedom Thank you! The concrete is the star in all of this, the other things just assist.
can you make a video on how to remove / replace the trigger bar spring? Im legit TERRIFIED that im gonna strip that screw. I was told I may have to heat it up? and I apparently need a very particular screw driver?
@R41D A video is probably not going to help much for loosening the screw. I’ve done 4 of them now and after heating the screw with either a small butane torch with a pin point flame, the kind they sell at cigar shops or a heat gun or a lighter (that’s my order of effectiveness and speed of loosening the wicked industrial Loc-Tite. The best recommendation I can give you on the flathead screwdriver, is don’t use the one from your drawer or even your garage toolbox. You need it to fit snuggly, no wiggle room for this. A Wheeler Gunsmithing driver set is what you need. I tried using a tool box flathead and that didn’t work out, even with the Lot-Tite loosened. When you remove it and you go to install it again, you’ll hear some indexing noises, like click click click click. Keep an eye on your trigger bar spring. As you tighten the screw, the trigger bar spring will start to spread apart. If it spreads too far apart, the humps on the spring won’t sit in the grooves cut into the underside of the trigger bar. I made you a short video. Removing the screw is not a big deal if you use the right driver. I’ve got that info on the right one that fits exactly in the video as well. I’ll @ you when I post the video shortly.
Are those staked or just roll pins?
@AZVIDS The video is on how to remove staked pins. The gun as mentioned is brand new so the trigger and disco are staked, the hammer/strut are push through.
First you have been missed, second very good to see you and hear you again.
Third always with some interesting video and sharing your knowledge and experience.
Finally, I have faith that you will recover because your personality will allow it and from here Toronto I send you a strong and respectful hug.
👍🇺🇾🤝🇨🇦🧉🔫
@JoLuFePi Hello! Good to see your comment and thank you. I hope you are doing well!
Are you still allowed to have guns in Canada😏
@AZVIDS Absolutely! If you presently own them you still get to keep them. I think by October they will no longer be able to be sold, traded or inherited. I personally believe that handguns will never be at risk for being stolen from us by the Trudeau or any other Liberal government…the reason? If he removes all lawfully registered and owned handguns he’s going to have a hell of a time explaining to voters why people (gangs/criminals) are still being killed by handguns. It will be an awakening for the dummies that believe his lies. AR-15’s and similar are another matter because no one is getting killed by these firearms on the scale that is happening in the US, we don’t have those types of mass shootings with those types of firearms, so to his voters, it looks like a win when they are taken away, the idiots believe they will be safe.
