CZ school

I am completely innocent.

Is the barrel that difficult to fit up. I thought 1911 barrels were tough but I have done several with good results. Well, so far anyway.

It doesn't make sense to me. On a production gun they have a tub of barrels and a tub of slides and they slap them together right? Why would slapping a different barrel in there cause such a problem?

It could be the timing that might need tweaking. On the CZ gunsmithing video I have, it talks about altering the shape of the cutout where the slide stop passes through to correct issues in timing IIRC. It's been a while though. Other than that, you would think it would be pretty straight forward.

I am no gunsmith. I have a good friend that does all the work on my CZs and in turn I buy him parts. Best I can do is a field strip and clean.

I don't think I like you. You may not join the CZickness club, because you bought the same gun that I wanted, and now I'm jealous.

So as unto the time that I myself am bequeathed an SP01 Tactical you shall not join us!





Kidding, fine you can join. On one condition...

Post lots of pics!

Good points on the worn out barrels. I was not considering that in the cost. In the past, I had very good luck with ex-police CZs and was assuming these would be no different but there's a big difference in ex-mil and ex-police. Police guns get carried a lot but shot little and military guns tend to get carried little but shot a lot. I just ran the numbers and to do what I had in mind, it is actually north of $1000. That would be for the full CGW treatment, VZ grips, HD sights and sending it out for NibX. It got expensive quickly and it would be a waste to do that to a gun with a marginal barrel.

On the bright side, it looks like CZ is turning out a better Retro CZ 75 now: CZ-USA CZ75B RETRO 9mm 16RD *LTD $556.00 SHIPS FREE This one does not look like it's using a standard CZ 75B slide.

Cancel that. It's the same slide as the last 'almost' retro.

Just handled one of the Retro"s really nice stock triggers!

You know I am a dyed in the wool 1911 nut job and after a few range trips with Typhoid Mary (BA) I am succumbing to the
It is a CZickness. There is no known cure at this time.

I will have to attend CZ's Anonomouse that is in the same basement of the church that has the 1911 Anonomouse meetings.

You will like it. You will like it a lot.

Steel, leather and wood make for a great combination.

I no longer have one of those in steel.

I can't argue with that. Very nice looking grips, sir.

 

[Birds Away]

Although both of your hammers seem somehow wrong.

USPSA production gun, I think the hammer would put me in a different class?

Oh, probably so. Although they have race hammers that look like ring hammers I think.

In the pictures I've seen they look slightly different but, believe me, that's not what's holding me back!

 

[Birds Away]

You have a beautiful gun, sir. I am envious. I don't have one of those anymore. I may need to make a new list.

And I am sure you will.

Christmas credit card debt has been paid in full!

Time to start a new gun fund!


That is if I can keep from buying any new knives. Those ZT/Emerson collaborations have got my sweating.
