Any recommended South Florida CZ gunsmiths?
« on: May 02, 2016, 10:40:29 PM »
Looking to have some trigger work performed on my 75b and would like to find someone locally instead of shipping it off.

CZ's really are not that bad to work on if your inclined to purchase a few basic tools and learn it is an enjoyable experience. There are really good sources for parts now from Cajun Gun Works and CZ Custom.

Thanks for the info I will check them out. Sunrise is about an hour south of me- not a problem.
This morning I purchased a 13# and 15# hammer/main spring from CZcustom for my stainless 75B. I think I can change that out myself but all those small pins and springs really intimidate me as far as any other internal work.  I have read in other posts that if I change the weight of the main spring I would also need to change some other trigger spring and or firing pin. This is a range gun only and I shoot mainly 115gr FMJ rounds. Would I have to change anything else?

The pins are really quite easy.

I've done everything myself, and I have zero experience working with guns.

75Plus on this site makes some tools that help with that.  Some people find a 13 lb main spring won't set off every primer, so they install an extended firing pin.

Did you end up using Akai? I am a few minutes from there and really wanted the CGW Defensive Carry package. I'll call tomorrow and see how familiar they are with installing it.
