Installed the new CGW hammer today, adjusted the trigger bar spring for 5/32" above the bar and fitted the safety to the new hammer. I think a little skate board tape to the front and rear of the grip frame and we will call this project done. I came out with a crisp 2 pound single action pull and a 6.5 pound double action as smooth as glass. Thanks for riding along with me.

Thanks you for sharing the ride with us. It's one of those posts that had me checking to see what's next in eager anticipation. I'm looking forward to  having some bluing work done in the future and, not knowing anything about the process, it was quite informative to see the work involved and the transformation. I'll now always look at those surplus CZs and imagine the possibilities!

I discovered a few things today during an extended test session. Every now and then the hammer would fall to the half cock notch during single action fire. I took it back apart and stoned an angle on the lower half of the wing on the #1 disco. This solved that problem. I polished up the whole disco and re-installed it. Fired another 400 rounds of perfection. Also, the VZ grips pictured were keeping the Meg-Gar aftermarket magazines from entering easily or dropping free. The grip panels enter the magazine well just enough to make magazine extraction difficult by rubbing on each side. I had previously opened the magazine well in the upper and lower part of the frame so it would accept both pre-B and aftermarket mags so this had me going for a brief while. I installed a set of factory rubber grips and the problem was gone. I have a set of checkered Rosewood grips being made for the gun but the factory rubbers will do just fine until they arrive. Thanks again for all the kind words and comments.

That is what I see every time I look at one of those old beaten up guns. I did a restoration on a BD earlier this year that was in much worse condition than this one and it turned our very nice.

I received my grips in today and installed them. I am done with this project and have started on another. A friend purchased a really screwed up BD off of Gunbroker and I agreed to do a resto on it. If you are interested in seeing it let me know. This one is going to take a while.

+1 on that. I was very impressed with your results on the gun and it was a very interesting read.

You can't stop at just one with CZs. Feed the addiction with another rebuild progress.
