I've got the trading itch, and after playing "Eenie Meanie...however you spell it", this CZ got chosen to be thrown on the slab.

1998 production CZ-75B. Comes with one 15-round magazine, and Hogue wrap-around grips. I can dig up a pair of factory plastic grips if you so desire.

Shoots great, as a CZ should. Never had any issues.

But wait, GunCat! Someone seems to have butchered the poor thing.

It was me. The finish on her was a total mess, so I thought I'd make it better (worse?). Either way, I made it different. Now it's got a fun industrial look. I rather like it. Your opinion may be different, but you should have mentioned that before I grabbed the Dremel.

Who knows, maybe it's just the thing you need for the next BBQ at Bubba's?

Will entertain most firearm trade offers. No Glocks, as usual.

Must be able to meet in Commerce, GA.

Thanks for looking!

How did you strip it? I would like to do this myself!

It's been about 6 months since I did this, so I don't remember every detail, but the general process was this:

Dremel on high speed, with rough grit, but very low pressure to remove the bulk of the finish. Really, just let the tool do the work.

Once the finish was thinned to almost metal, drop down to low speed with a finer grit. This will take a while.

This will get you down to the bare metal, and you'll have some scratches and whatnot. Depending on how "brushed metal" of a look you want, either leave it like this, or hit it with some fine grit sandpaper, 1000 grit or so, and smooth up the surfaces. Go finer, with 2000, then 3000, if you want it polished. Stay lower, if you want it brushed looking. I liked the industrial look, so I didn't go too finished on it.

Hit it with some oil, and enjoy.

There may be chemical strippers that could do the same process faster, but the few I tried didn't do very well, so I cleaned up the parts, then took the mechanical approach.

If it were mine I’d ask more for it! It’s definitely an original!

I thought only Glocks had value when you Dremel them.

Thanks man, I will have to get a dremel and go to town!

Brother I really don’t think it looks terrible. I don’t know if I’d have attempted it but it’s unique for sure. I kinda like it.

wtg guncat,
dozens maybe thousands of pistols being sorted through to see
which ones will be the lucky volunteers.
Meanwhile, inexplicably, dremel sales in Ga have mysteriously sky rocketed.
