post or roast - I'm thick skinned - I'm just trying to get more CZ/build stuff on Rumble before *poof* YT is gone..
Phase 1 was E conversion, S2 Mag Catch and better rear sight.
The video above ^^^ covers Phase 2 - install of the CGW SAO trigger, lightweight Trigger Return Spring and floating Trigger Pin, removal of the disconnector.
Phase 3 - hammer, shelf safety, FPB removal, ext FP

also Lok Grips and locktighted the LCI plate screw.

I even left in a funny foobar moment. I've never been in this gun so let it rip we are building this one out. I'm sure I mis-spoke about a couple parts or operations - feel free to make notations/corrections but this is generally how it goes for me. It's basically the fun puzzle and I like building in phases on a dime.
Hope all have a Merry Christmas!

Final Phase just finished - had to wait on punches...
anyway I will do a wrap up vid but here is a quick pic of most of the things...
Has anyone used Fords Blueing? Do people normally dis assemble pistols or let the refinishers do it?

For me that probably depends on the gun and the parts making up the gun.  How much experience do the shop have with that particular gun?  How costly are the parts, or how hard to find, etc.

Here is their drool page. I assume they are familiar with CZs. If I don't buy a birthday gun this month I will be looking at this option. I've always been too cheap to have someone else finish my guns.
