75B barrel wear ?
« on: November 01, 2013, 12:40:27 AM »
I noticed some wear on my 75b barrel while cleaning it recently and wondered if it is normal wear n tear or a problem that needs to be addressed.  I'd appreciate your thoughts.   8)

I contacted CZ-USA and they said it would not affect function, but to ensure it wouldn't accelerate wear on the slide they offered to chamfer those areas.   :D

You could chamfer it yourself with a 1/4" round chainsaw file.

I've never seen that kind of wear before, but I would take CZUSA up on their offer.

Not normal in my opinion. Should be looked at by CZ at least.

Am I the only one wonder what it is hitting to cause this wear? What does the frame look like? It takes 2 to tango.

The guy at CZ said he's seen this before on older 75b's.  Mine is dated '96, though for its age it doesn't have a high round count (1,200 rds., I'm the original owner).  During recoil, that part of the barrel is hitting the inside of the slide just in front of where the rails end.  I can't see any wear on the slide though, it looks slightly polished perhaps.  I guess the barrel is softer steel.  I've replaced my springs once and am currently running a 15lb. Wolff recoil and 17lb. hammer spring.

I'm sure I could chamfer it myself, but they offered, so should I ever pass it on or sell it I think it's better to show the work was done by CZ and not on my tabletop.  Function has not been affected.  It cycles properly and groups very well.  I was relieved that they didn't think it was a big deal.   :)

I don't shoot it that often 'cause my CCW's usually get all the range time, but it was my first handgun so I guess I have a little bit of a sentimental attachment.   ;D

I have a 98 in 40, it looks good. No marks like that.

CZ was super fast with the repair.  I mailed it out last Monday and got it back on Friday.

Good to know CZUSA stands behind their products. I think I should give them more of my business. ;D

If it functions 100%, it's fine. If it bothers you, send it back.
