The CZickness XIII: Lucky 13, we could all use some.

[mcapo]

Yes it is. But those sights are atrocious.

You guys weren’t kidding, that ol’ pre-B is smooth! After much deliberation with the Wizard, I think the only appropriate sight upgrade for the rat rod would be some fingernail polish. Anything more would be like drinking champagne at a crawfish boil....just not right.

What a good gun day. Went to the LGS to pickup a project CS40 and ended with a King Cobra too.

Took three nice guns to Lafayette and brought back three incredible Wizard touched masterpieces and an extra AR for good measure.

Hopper found his Rami, CM is bringing the latest project to the next stage, MM learned the secrets to drifting and BA is on the hunt for a mystery firearm.

It was a good day in INGO land!

Thank you, Wizard!!

...I'm going to throw out a question about drifting the rear sights of both the pistols that I shot yesterday. I bet that one of you geniuses knows a formula to send me in the right direction.

Here's the "formula"...Sight Correction Calculations

Then use CM's method to get there. Repeat steps 1-3 as required.

1st step.....trial
2nd step....error
3rd step....trial again.

That's exactly what I needed. Thanks. You're my hero !

 

[MindfulMan]

.... and BOOM, just like that ! To move the point of impact on my G***k 23, 2.5 inches to the the right, I need to drift the rear sight 1.5 mm to the right !

(and then I'll use CM's method to fine tune ... if needed )

What did you find ?

Just another old beater CZ.

Always exciting to find a new project to get excited about. My problem lately has been that I start more than I finish.

I can only dream of starting one. I've been missing too much work lately. I have trouble enough paying the bills. I can't even realistically consider plopping down a big sum on a project. But it never hurts to dream.

There will be more projects someday. We need more BA/Wizard projects to circulate.

If I had any money I would try to re-acquire some of my old ones. I certainly hope there will come a day when we do more projects though.

Any time you want to shoot anything I have, they will be waiting for you at AB.

Thanks, I really appreciate that.

Good range trip this morning. Buddy has gone with us a couple of times now who is new to shooting and it's always nice helping a new shooter out

Holy moly ..... that's awesome !

 

[mcapo]

That's awesome! Did Allen cut the slide too?

Nope.

 

[wtburnette]

That's very nice looking

The wizard helped me with the parts list. It was my first time going completely through a CZ myself. Won't be the last.
