The CZickness X

[88E30M50]

Morning all!

A pre-B CZ 75 is typically one that does not have the firing pin block. You can break the common CZ 75 family into three blocks. There are early 75s, transitional 75s and then the 75Bs. The early pistols had the rounded trigger guard, pinned front sight, a different rear sight and no firing pin block. The transitionals started to incorporate features of the later pistols one feature at a time until the FPB was introduced and the name 75B began. First, the rear sight was modified to today's stock sight dovetail. Then the trigger guard got an edge on the front corner. Next was the introduction of the current front sight style. The pistols with the rounded trigger guards are often called A models to differentiate them from the other non-FBP pistols.

This is an early '88 pre-B, sometimes called an A:


This is a transitional that has all of the later features of the B, yet does not have the FPB:


This is a 75B as evidenced by both the roll marks and the roll pin in the slide that retains the firing pin now:

So how do you rate PSA stuff compared to other brands? I have one AR which is a premium kit. How much better are the BCM, Larue, Noveske, etc? For the basic occasional shooter can you really tell the difference?

Fit and finish.
I have had/built so many PSA pieces in the last 4 or so years and did have issues with a few.
Easy fixes just aggravating as hell.

I play around with the mid level parts/pieces now and scratch build all of the ones I have.

Leave the fire extinguisher alone. It will be fine as built. Maybe put some color on it.

I can't do it, mouse. I've completely sworn them off. Some of the parts, handgaurd I will pull off as that's an Aero piece. Just cannot represent them in any respect whatsoever. That includes the mags I have with their name on the baseplate. I will have to figure out a way to rebuild the fire extinguisher using other parts....

When passing off the mags let me know. There is a need.

Canter has his name in for those first. I will offer them up at a later date when I am ready.

No worries they are his.

Rusty will be INGOing at home on an iPad now. Woke up this morning and started searching the web for AR stuff, quickly got irritated because I only have my phone for my Internet uses. Decided I needed a bigger screen, have needed/wanted to do this for a few years. Got paid from the BOSS 302 Mustang project yesterday, so I now have an iPad. Just waiting for it to charge and begin that process.

I went with the Wifi only version, I figure if I need to use it while away from Wifi my phone will always be with me and I can create a mobile hotspot.

Mine has its own access just not the phone function.

88, you did a great job telling the differance of the three models!

And the picture are very nice.

Thanks. I didn't get into the differences between the 85 Combat or the other newer CZs that don't have the FPB. Those are not an area I'm familiar with.

Got my 20" rifle planned out. That's gonna be a sweetheart, BCM upper, carry handle, A2 stock kit, RRA A2 handguards, DD lower parts kit. All on my INGO lower. Essentially the same setup as I currently have but much better quality.

Sometimes you just need a little shooting session with an iron sighted 22 rifle. Everytime I shoot my 10/22 I walk away feeling completely satisfied. Stepped out back and put some rounds through it just to get the blood flowing a little bit because I've been couching it all day so far. That rifle is never leaving me.

About 98% of the shooters I know have a 10/22, and they are all loved.

My eyes are just not suited for irons these days. I can use them well enough but optics are cool.....
