tinkering with my 85 combat
« on: November 07, 2020, 05:25:53 PM »
Well to be honnest I was not too impressed by my 85 combat, so I started thinking, more weight at the barrel.

So I though what about making the plastic pin for the reciol spring out of stainless, that should add some weight under my barrel
so I spend an afternoon behind my old taig lathe.



this gives me 11.3gram more weight, and I must say I like it, it gives me less 'snap' when firing the 85 combat and it makes it more accurate.

Mine is an old Pre B CZ85 and it came with a steel guide rod.

Sweet old pistol.  Nasty as could be when I got it.  New springs, refinish job (cerakote), new sights and grips and no issues, except it hardly gets shot anymore.

Liked it so much I added the controls to a couple other CZs I have.
I just keep wasting time and money on other brands trying to find/make one shoot like my P07 and P09.  What is wrong with me?

Neat, glad to hear that it worked out. Thank you for the pic.
Will work for CZ pics! (including but not limited to all CZ clones)
