Yeah...I know it sucks. I was really hoping someone else would show up and join the group of shooters that are always beating me, but I guess we will just both have to wait for that. Damn these rules.

It's not really too big of a deal, swapping out the hammer and sear takes about 10 minutes on a CZ once you know how to do it. If you remove the strut and disconnector from the hammer it's a little more work because the disconnector pin is so tight it has to be pressed out. Since I have another 75 that is 100% factory I'm just going to swap the whole package between the two guns and call it good.
Now, to find some more classifiers.....
bkoenig:
Hey Fly, do you have a link to that rule book? I wanted to check it out to make sure I have everything else on the up & up but I can't find that section in the current rules posted on the USPSA site. Maybe it's an older rule that was dropped on the last revision?
bkoenig:
Ugh. I spoke too soon.
I was home at lunch and decided to swap out the parts real quick, and apparently I was in too much of a hurry. I was driving out the pins when the punch slipped and left a big gash down the side of the frame. This gun has a Polycoat finish instead of blueing so I can't even touch it up. :angry:
My ham-handedness got the best of me a second time when I was replacing the sear. Like an idiot I decided to switch out just the sear rather than swapping the entire sear cage assembly, so I took it all apart. Inside there is a tiny little spring, about 1/64" diameter wire, that connects to the lifter for the firing pin block. It's under pressure so you have to be really careful when taking it apart. I wasn't careful enough and it went flying across the room somewhere. :angry: :angry:
The gun won't fire without that spring, so it's either cannibalize my 75 Compact or not shoot this weekend. I was so frustrated I just left it in pieces on my workbench and went back to work.
