Title: Cz 82
Post by: berts on September 17, 2016, 02:07:35 PM: I had some free time today, I happened to be in the not so nice part of town and saw a pawn shop that had a big sign that said "Tons of Guns". So I couldn't resist. They Didn't have tons, but probably 50 or so. Mixed in on the shelve with rhe Jimenez and other crap I saw it. At first I did a double take. It was a CZ 82, in fair shape. They were busy and I didn't get a chance to handle it. But is was priced at $165. Am I wrong or is that a great deal?
I'll have go back a week day when there not so busy and handle it. But that price seems like a no brainer.

Making some rash assumptions about it being mechanically sound, it's a screaming good deal.

Good luck and post some pics if you end up grabbing it.

I think if all checked out you should snap that up. ;D

Post by: LittleJenny on September 21, 2016, 03:30:13 PM: I was wondering as well. I'm curious as to what the 'custom' work is on the slide.

If the painted slide was stripped bare, some time spent with a cold blue product can give an acceptable look.

It has been well over four years since I have seen any CZ82 priced at less than $200.

Post by: berts on November 14, 2016, 09:43:14 PM: Well I finally made it back to the pawn shop this weekend. They still had the CZ 82 for $165, it had no finish on the slide and was cosmetically rough. But the BIG problem was that they would not take the trigger lock off and let me check it out, even after I told them I was going to buy it....seemed odd so I left it looking all out of place next to the high points and jimez's

Post by: imarangemaster on November 19, 2016, 07:43:50 PM: Seems to me that if they wouldn't take the trigger lock off they were hiding something. I was an FFL for 25 years and never heard of such a thing.
