The Czickness XI: Fulcrum Trigger Blues.

[churchmouse]

I got the chance to go to the range today. Had a good time shooting the SP-01 along with the Rami trying out my new holster. I believe both are more accurate than I am. I may need to take a few courses to get my form and technique down. Or at least more range time. Nice mild evening and had a blast.

Stay behind the guns. Run them. What are you experiencing as to groups/issues.

I know I anticipate the shot too much so I am probably flinching. The SP-01 groups were much better. They were fairly decent around the bullseye. DA shots are horrible. I was a little further than 10 yards and the all shots were within about 15" radius. My first magazine was my best (target below) and got worse from there. Sorry photo is on it's side.

So you are out past 30 ft. and grouping like that with a box stock CZ...???
Really not that bad. Trigger discipline.

The DA is rough on the unmodified ones.

This was my afternoon project. Floating shelf for the wifey.

Thanks CM. It is glued and screwed. Some of the screws were able to be hidden. I know the glue is strong enough on it's own but for some reason I just can't get over the old habit of a mechanical fastener. I made it out of pine. Kinda wish I would have done oak but it would have been crazy expensive for what it is.

My woodworking skills have come a long way in the last couple of years. I'd like to get a bit better and be able to make some actual nice stuff. I think my next project might be some grips for the new RAMI.

Morning all...

This is absolutely beautiful. I never had the patience for woodworking but I admire good work.

That grouping was my best and they declined from there. I know I don't shoot enough to be proficient so that is the first thing I need to work on. Thanks for the kind words.

Grip/trigger discipline looks like what you need to work on.
Not seen you at the line so just a guess.
Solid stance is another area we all need to concentrate on.
There is a great Video on stance back a page or so. Post #2151 and well worth the watch.

Morning all, only 5 more days till the weekend!

I'll take that. The rain will disappear and Sunday will be a glorious day to shoot

Picking up two projects after work today. One is for me and one is SOR (don't ask).
For those considering getting into a project gun allow me to throw some cold water on that thought.
The project for me, a pre-B, will have roughly $370 in it at the start including shipping and transfer.
SOR is a 75B that was a bit pricier and will have about $440 in it at transfer.
The preebie, upon completion, is estimated to cost about $1270.
SOR will come in about $1150.
This will probably take me a good part of the summer to bring these to completion but I expect both to well worth the effort.
But, the prices should give you pause if you're looking to get into one of these. I've had a lot of people talk about getting into a surplus CZ thinking this will be on the cheap. It can be if you do nothing to it. But, if you want to do all of the upgrades there is nothing cheap about it.

There is no free lunch. Just ain't none.

Sitting in the Ingo booth yesterday we had a slow afternoon so I put pen to paper for 2 of the project costs on current pieces I have done and still own.
Holy crap. No wonder I will not sell these. Besides I love them and they run as well as guns in much higher price ranges.
