will a cz75B barrel fit into a Canik Shark FC?

will it fit? If you have both guns, can you please check? Very curious...

The canik barrel fits in the CZ and even locks up and functions all put together.
The CZ barrel won't lock up into the Canik slide nor does the guide rod fit due to the
barrel not fully seating, so no.

Thanks for checking. This is good news, sounds like the cz and canik barrels are similar enough. Do you think the cz barrel maybe a little beefier in areas therefore some fitting might be required (to get into the Canik that is)?

Maybe I should get a ported Shark FC and fit a standard cz barrel into it, then I can have both options in one gun..... ported Canik barrel for speed and tight cz barrel for precision.

They both have areas that metal can be taken away from to match the other more closer.  For instance the slide locking pugs in the CZ barrel are a little smaller than the Canik and
the feed ramp on the Canik has much more metal though.  The problem is it is in both barrels so they never will be able to be matched exactly.  It is possible that the metal taken away
from the CZ barrel may allow it to be fitted into the Canik slide.  Main thing is if you have the money to blow on hacking a CZ barrel and it may not work. 
Right above the throat on the CZ is a little tab that the Canik doesn't have.  Looking at it closely, it seems that that tab is the only thing keeping the CZ barrel from fitting all the way into the Canik slide.  I would imagine that all that would have to be done is cut that tab off.  Whether that will do any damage to function is beyond me but it doesn't appear so. 

The funny thing about trying this is the Canik barrel fits tighter in the CZ slide than the CZ barrel fits it's own slide.  The Canik barrel also fits very tight into it's own slide. 
Maybe CZ should copy the size of the Canik barrels as that tighter barrel fit seems like it was custom fit to the slide.

Thanks for the comparison. Much appreciated.

Now since your Canik's barrel/slide fit is tighter... how is its accuracy comparing to your cz75? say, at mid distance such as 25yd?
