I've had this one for a little while and had it refinished by Brian at EFR a while back.  He also touched up the grips on it, which I think look fantastic.  But, due to some issues with it, it sat around for quite some time without any use.  Brian replaced the sear and a few other parts, and ultimately I ended up sending it in to CZ, at which point they replaced the disconnector.  It seems to be up and running now though, and I'm anxious to get it back out to the range and see how it does. :)

I just picked up my "new" 82 today!  It looks great!!!  The only noticeable flaws on it are some scratches on the handles.  I was thinking about eventually replacing the stock handle grips with some maroon colored, wood grain grips.  Thoughts on that color combo?

Here's a picture of her!

Just got mine back this week from EFR. Brian did a great job! He added new sights and CZ 75 rubber bases to my 4 mags. Grips are from Grips4u. I added a firing pin spring and a 16 lb recoil spring. Ran 300 rounds through it this weekend with not one issue.
Well I did have one. The rear sight set screw will get loose and I have to readjust and re-tighten it, But after another 30 rounds it gets loose again. I don't want to take the set screw out and add loc tite to it and try to re-sight it,,I'm afraid it will dry before I find the sweet spot again. Anyone have a trick for this issue?
I was doing softball size groups at about 13 yards. Very happy with this one. Makes me want another one. But I have already bought 4 CZ'z in the past two months!!! How can I stop this madness :-\

Just back the screw out and add some red lock tite then let sit over night. Center the sight yours was dead on, I must have forgot to lock tite it before I shipped it, Sorry.

I thought about a 83 at first until I read more and found out the history and all the positive remarks about the 82. Something about shooting a relic and bringing her back to life

Good point, what all does it really take to get one of these back into great condition? I figure pins, springs, maybe a barrel, and any cosmetics you may want?  I love a good project just as much as next fellow but i dont want to get in over my head.  Once i get one where do i start? what kind of cost am i looking at? Just curious as i reallly love the looks of these and am really considering picking one up.
