THE CZickness L....Celebrating 50 threads with CZs, gunsmoke and serious discussion....

How about milling mammoth tusk .... become an ultimate custom grip maker ?
The material is hard, like bone, as it's been stabilized with high-pressure resins.
Something like this ?

I was thinking something more in line with my current skill level. Think Kindergarten with safety scissors and large pencil type stuff.

In

That's what she said.

You could work up to it !

Are you looking at the 50?

No time for the drive. :-(

I stopped by Marksman’s and Tim’s in Westfield today.

Marksman’s has a P07, threaded barrel with suppressor height night sights for $499.

Tim’s has a newer Colt Python 6” stainless on consignment for $1249

I’ve been looking at those new production 4” Pythons but stop there.

That's what she said.

Did she preface that with "is it"

 

[mcapo]

But you call everything work.
"This can of beer is not going to drink itself" LOL

If it’s worth doing it’s worth doing with commitment.

....not to (hopefully) belabor a point, Spicy ... but folks are getting big bucks for these grips. They might not be much harder to mill than wood, or metal .

Case in point.($800)

heridan has had a surprising number of CZ’s in for a while, I believe there is a threaded barrel something or other there now.

It's a P07 and it tempted me but I was there to get the 97B.

I thought she said "in?"

Not sure, was already out.

I really like the Pythons. And they were one of my Father in Laws dream guns. He was excited about Colt starting production again but never got to see the new ones. We had many conversations about Pythons, old and new. When I think of Pythons I think of him so it would be a sentimental addition to my collection if I got one. Ironically, the new Python is not as smooth and refined as the S&W 29-2 I inherited from him and I probably won’t get one just because I know I would hardly shoot it compared to his S&W 29. Idk if that’s a fair comparison though. I have a feeling his S&W 29 was worked over by a gunsmith. The SA trigger is ridiculous!

Posted in the SA-35 thread but not here. Got my gun back from Allen today well before I expected it. New C&S trigger installed. Took it for a quick range trip. Definitely helped with the amount of let out and inconsistency of the reset quite a bit.

Deciding on any next steps. Thinking barrel crown and maybe some color though, need to determine if anything else needs done before color.

Meanwhile Allen about has me talked into a 2011 ;-) but my wallet has other ideas as I went after that to Sullivan's hardware on keystone to pay for a deck furniture order. (Hadn't been there until last week. That is the most bougie hardware store I've ever been in, but they know their stuff and seem to be great to deal with and they are a dealer of the poly deck furniture I was looking for and even had manufacturer rep there last week that I spoke to)

Meanwhile I still need to pay for the deck rebuild (doing Trex) once the materials come in (probably about 6 weeks out for the color my wife picked). Also got a pretty big tree that's going to be taken down and some other stuff.

We just celebrated our 30 year wedding anniversary so I guess it's better than buying jewelry (neither of us has ever been in that much) or something like that.

Bought some 300 BO ammo today, some hunting rounds, some subs, and some plinking. Still need to connect with TT and grab the defense rounds.

Now I just need to find time to get down south and have a conjugal visit with the upper while it's still in jail.

Good to hear on the HP.

Congrats on 30 years.

I'd like a Staccato, but I'm not paying the admission to play.

Also got some apple scented deer corn for the feeder I'm going to try out. Got all the supplies for (4) of these for free. Gonna put (1) up and see how it goes first.

When we built our current house in 2005 I built the deck using dark brown textured Trex. Needs a good spring power wash but still looks great! At out previous house had built a treated deck that only made it 10 years before it looked like and needed rebuilding. Replaced that decking with a light colored Trex and it still looks pretty good 25 years later.

Trex is heavy as heck and expensive but I feel very worth it.

Wife won. Turns out she's pretty good at bluffing. And I don't make great decisions while drinking.
