Very nice!
I take it that you scratched in Knoxville, TN?

No, that was the importer stamp. I started to remove it but decided to just to leave it alone.

Thinking about cutting some blanks out of some type of hardwood for some practice on making CZ Grips , then going to some dark brazilian walnut and making a few sets, maybe even learning how to checker. I did a pretty good job on my first project (Refinishing a Mossberg 395T stock). Would love to have a pretty blued gun like this to put a set on.

I'll tell you guys if I ever decide to get off my rear and do it.

Amazing work!

Comparing the old, beaten up warhorse from the first pic to your latest is astonishing!  You wouldn't believe they are the same gun.

I would definitely say you're getting some good returns on your time and effort.  Thanks for sharing!

Good work is it's own reward. Kudos are therefore redundant. Mine are offered anyway!

Although I once owned a couple, I don't really have a SIGnature.

Barrel cut and re crowned?  What sights; recut required?

With a finish like that, why would anyone want a baked on paint job?!!

The sights are Dawson's and yes I had to take about .40 off of the rear rib under the sight to get them on. I still need to lap the chatter marks out of the crown. I am out of the lapping compound I will need and the lap so I am waiting on Brownell's to make a delivery. I also have a new hammer on order, maybe the finishing touches by the end of the week.

Very nice post.
Great to see that a blued finish restoration of a factory poly finish can have such nice results.

I opened up the frame, it will drop free on either. CZ, Meg-gar or any of the rest of the off brands I have around here. That was the first thing I did before stripping the finish. It came with an old Meg-gar I had to pries, tug and  beat out of it.
