I just got of the phone with CZ USA and the parts I ordered went out of stock.  They aren't able to fulfill my order at this time.  They were in stock when I ordered but apparently the inventory wasn't accurate.  They didn't charge me for the parts that didn't ship so really there wasn't anything to rectify.  I will just have to wait till those parts come back in stock.  Customer service did put an email notification on my account for when those parts come back in stock so I can place another order at that time.  Apparently there isn't a backorder option.

All in all it was a good CS interaction.  The fellow I spoke with was in Kansas.

Cheers,
Toby

Obviously, it’s a cluster £¥€< if they can’t keep track of their inventory or get anything out in a timely fashion. Typical Colt Management on the job.

Most of the parts shortages at this point are from across the pond and I'm sure the military contracts they have are taking priority right now.

Yeah, it's really difficult to purchase anything at this point.  I don't blame CZ or Colt for the inventory issue, it is a sign of the times and the lack of supply.  Try to purchase Federal 215M primers, you either pay more than double or have the quickest internet draw on the planet.

The parts that shipped were shipped within a day and arrived in less than five days.  I can't complain about that at all.

Cheers,
Toby

Its worth noting that the parts CZ USA did not send me I was able to get from a source in Europe. Additionally, I am seeing new CZ parts selling on eBay for scalper prices. This is the same pattern as Colt parts.

That just proves that there are plenty of CZ parts readily available in places like Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, but Colt-cz-usa is just too lazy and inept to get their hands on them for the ever-lucrative US civilian market.

The problem for us in the USA is that we’re supposed to obtain an importers license from the atf / US Customs before we’re allowed to purchase and import ANY foreign gun parts, even from foreign webstores, who are only too willing to sell them to us. To do so is technically illegal — for us. The foreign webstores can sell and ship gun parts to the US with impunity. They don’t care.

Another way for the libtards to weaponize the gub’ment against US gun owners.

I've not seen CZ parts on ebay selling particularly higher than anything thing else. Maybe you could post an example.

Weird they sort of fell of the map on you- maybe production issues

CZ 75 full size mainspring cap with lanyard loop. I recently paid $9.00 for one direct from CZ USA. Listing on eBay is 35.00. This in one example. The eBay seller is listing other new CZ parts with multiples of these parts available.  This is precisely what happens with non standard Colt parts. Delta Elite recoil spring assemblies and so forth.

In the past, I was able to place orders with Brownell's for obscure Colt parts. The orders may take a year or longer to fill, but in time they always were. A few years back Colt changed how these orders are handled. Brownell's can no longer place an order for a small quantity of a part, this makes it impossible for an individual to obtain obscure parts. If Wilson and the like don't sell a replacement part, you don't get it unless Brownell's or Midway stocks it.
 
Unlike 1911 parts, not a a lot of CZ parts are supplied aftermarket. If we are left to pay scalper prices, I won't be buying anymore CZs. At my local club, there is much discontent amongst the guys who have more expensive CZ competition pistols. Serious competition shooters are now without a reliable source of parts. Very narrow minded business tactics in my opinion.

I wouldn’t call it “narrow minded.” I’d call it stupid, but par for the course for Colt Management.

You back already? Got out early for good behavior? Lol

Without a link there's no proof. Regardless of what someone is listing anything on ebay for has nothing to do with reality. people list anything and everything hoping someone may be stupid enough to pay whatever ridiculous amount they are trying to get. Buyer beware and do your research.
While I'm not at all happy about what Colt is doing to CZ I'm not ditching My CZ's over it. I have PLENTY of spare parts on hand
The lack of Colt parts is really nothing new. Most gun manufacturers don't support older models anymore. Call Smith&Wesson and try to get parts for a pre-lock revolver or a 3rd gen semi auto. Nope not happening.

I didn't post a link because I'm unsure if that would violate a forum policy. A simple search for "CZ 75 lanyard loop" will show the listing. Any "Internet Keyboard Commando" should be computer literate enough to do this.

I happen to be a factory trained S&W armorer. You may not be able to call S&W to order a target hammer or trigger, but you can get parts needed to repair a revolver as they were shipped. Example - the hammer nose (firing pin) is available to repair an existing hammer. A target hammer with nose, to replace or "upgrade" a revolver sold in the 1980s is no longer available. You can get what need, not what you want. S&W does not charge for legitimate replacement parts. They will not however hand them out in quantity for people to resell on eBay. S&W does still service revolvers made prior to the internal lock. CZ doesn't repair sporting rifles sold within the last 5 years.

I also have an adequate supply of parts for my CZ rifles and pistols, but I do not have every part. I have no intention of "ditching" my CZs, but I will also not purchase anymore CZs so long as their is a disconnect between CZ/Colt and consumers. It is ridiculous to wait months for an order of in stock parts only to receive one of the items because the rest had gone out of stock by the time the order was shipped.

I have great fondness for CZ, and Colt. My CZ rifles, and Colt 1911 pistols would be amongst the last firearms sold should I part with any of my collection.

This will be my last reply on this thread. It wasn't my intention to engage a "IKC" in an argument.

No, I think as long as bad parts and customer service continue at COLT-cz usa, this thread needs to continue to get the word out. Nothing’s going to change until this sorry state of affairs starts hitting CZUB in the wallet.
