It's on its way back to CZ now, so I'm curious to see how they handle it. Hopefully at least a new slide with the same serial number. I'll put the results here when I get it back in case anyone else has this problem.You won't get a new slide with the same serial number,they don't roll mark them and CZ won't reproduce an already used and sold number. They will likely do one of three things.1. Determine the marks are no issue which I doubt they'll do.2. Polish out the damage and return the gun. Definitely a possibility.3. Replace the entire gun. CZ is good about replacing entire guns sometimes even over seemingly minor issues.I can confirm number 3 from experience. I bought a P01 Omega UG/SR new. The night sights were dead after my first range trip. I sent it back to CZ. They had it for a couple weeks and called me to say they were waiting on getting more supressor height night sites. I told them no rush. Then at the 6 week mark they called and let me know they still did not get more sights, so they were sending me a new gun. CZ will take care of this I am sure.

Well, it's back from CZ. Not my preferred outcome, but the repair turned out a million times better than I thought it would. The pictures don't do it justice, but it's the best I could do. Raised metal on the pickup rail is gone and the staked areas are cleaned up well. I'll put before and after pictures below.

I'd say, nothing better to expect. Slide looks great now. You can run your finger over the edges and if you feel anything, use sandpaper 1000 then 1500 and finish with Flitz. Definitely I'd reassemble whole slide and clean/lube it before use.Happy shooting (if your State allows )
I didn't do a good job of saying it, but I'm definitely happy with it. I was hoping they would just swap the gun at the beginning, but I am pleased with how the repair came out. I've finished cleaning it and now it's lubed and ready to go. Ranges open here May 2 by appointment only, so I'm hoping I can get in.
