CZ-75 Gunsmith

[spengo]

Looking for a gunsmith that can do stuff for CZ-75's. I have an old pre-B, but all I have for it are the newer 16rd magazines and they are a liiiittle sticky coming out. I'd like to have the mag well widened very slightly so they go in smooth and drop free. Also, every 400rds or so I get a failure to extract and this is no good for a gun I use for IPSC and carry, so I'd like to have the extractor looked at. Finally, I'd like a set of tritium night sights, but they don't make the old stake-on kind anymore so I'd like whatever modification is necessary to be done to get some nice night sights on it. I may not have the $ to do all this at once, but I definitely want to get the extracting issue resolved asap. SO, if anyone knows a good CZ smith somewhere near tigard or an hour's drive radius or so I'd be much obliged if they post here. Thanks!

You're best bet is to send it to angus in arizona, I know its not local, but he is arguably the best CZ smith in the country.

I dunno, these seem like relatively simple things so I'd really prefer someone local. I know another guy in CO that's a pretty good CZ smith too. Thanks for the info though, I'll definitely consider it if I can't find something around here.

Had Angus rework the trigger on my 75, was kind of spendy, but made a better shooter out of it. Would do it again.

I think I'd like to take apart the extractor myself. If all it needs is a good thorough cleaning, then great. Otherwise I bet I could install a new extractor spring on my own. Does anyone know where to buy punches near Tigard? The Gun Broker on 99W doesn't have stuff like that.

Is there a Sears in Tigard?

you would be better off to sell your gun and buy a new one with the sights you want. Reworking sights, purchasing the doner set and the other work you want done; it is going to cost you pretty penny.

For what you would spend on the work and the price you would get for your gun, you could just about buy a SP-01 and there is not much better for competition.

There is, in fact. I didn't think of that.

Oh probably, but then it wouldn't be a pre-B. I'm kinda silly about some things. The sights are not terribly important, it will probably be something to do down the road.

Also, I posted on the cz forums about the extracting problem and it seems this is fairly common with older CZs and all I need to do is purchase a stronger extractor spring. An easy and cheap fix. Costs $3 lol.

Got my new extractor spring and a punch to poke out the extractor pin today. I put it in and I will go shoot it later today. It may just have been having problems because it was dirty as **** in there. They should sell pistols with an extractor punch lol. I think I'll pop that sucker out every time I clean from now on.

EDIT: Works great! Shot lots of ammunition up and there were no issues.

before widening the frame let me take a look! I own both the single and the double action 75B came across this issue before i believe i solved it [email protected]

I have recently learned that 19-round SP-01 magazines fit well in pre-B CZ-75s. I will order some this weekend to try out, if it fits well and is drop free I will no longer need the magazine well widening.

pic is from this thread on the cz forum.

Take your gun to the local gun shop try it out first before ordering, Best test yoiu know!

Yeah, but I don't know of any stores around that have the new SP-01 19rd magazines. Only place I can find them is on the online CZ custom shop. I figure I can always sell it if it doesn't work out.

I got one of the SP-01 magazines, it's drop free and everything. Took it to IPSC, worked great! Used it as my first mag every course because it's the only one I have that is drop free lol. Only problem is I can't for the life of me get the 19th round in the magazine! D: I think they are 18rd magazines and just mislabeled on the website or something because I compared with an SP-01 user who had some 18rd mags and it was exactly the same. Also if it was 19rds, why would the lowest witness hole be 18? Doesn't matter since I shot production anyway but interesting. Maybe I will give the cz custom shop a call about their misprint.
