CZ85 OLD model, need rear sight, can't find, HELP?
« on: January 19, 2009, 12:04:08 PM »
Hello,

I'm looking for a rear sight for my CZ85 OLD model.  LPA recommends p/n TPU 85 CX (BRNO), but I can't find a supplier for this part number, out of options, what do you recommend?

You could always get the rear dovetail re-cut for a newer style site. Any gunsmith should be able to do that. If all else fails call CZ-USA and ask them what they recommend.

I also have a problem with my adjustable rear sight. The spring in it has broken.  I have called CZcustom - no parts; I have called London Arms in Ontario - sent me a spring but slightly different so blade is loose after install.  Mine has a dovetail base cut of approx 15 mm wide with the left/right adjustment screws milled into slide.  I have emailed CZ  and await reply.  Due to the large size of the dovetail, there are no aftermarket parts I can find.  If nothing shows up I now have a real good parts gun??!!

Heres hoping !
