Awlright, youse guyz;
Now ya gone and went and done it!
After all the rave reviews you've been posting in here about the CZ-82, you've finally worn your kindly old Yankee Uncle down to the point where I has finally done suscumbdicated to the overwhelmnifying temptation, and sent my order in to SOG this Morning. They've had my C&R on file for some time now.
What with the greenback going down like a house of cards against the Euro and about every other kind of currency in this planet lately (ya can only fund a war and a welfare state at the same time by printing more monopoly money for about so long) the price - or supply - isn't apt to get any better any time soon, I reckons.
I've done a passle of business with AIM over the years, and love 'em to within an inch of their corporate lives - but the difference in price and shipping between them and SOG was around $36, which definitely tipped the scales in SOGs favor. From what I've seen in here, they seem to have at least as good a reputation as any other C&R supplier.
Now I suppose that I can do unto the CZ-82 pretty much as I did with the CZ-52.
Some of you might be familiar with my "Shop Notes" postings in here on how I managed to figure out how to take down, maintain, fix, tweak, tune and reassemble the Czech-O-Matic largely by experiment, trial and (more often than not) error.
Eventually I was able to eke out a body of information that some shooters have found useful, apparently.
Perhaps I can do a similar work on the 82 - but it sure would help if I had some basic standard manual of some sort to start out with.
Any suggestions / links?
And as some of you might also know, I have a habit of inventing little tools, jigs, doodads and widgets to facilitate working on specific guns. No doubt I'll come up with a few for this pistol too.
Stay tuned.
Just don't expect anything conventional.
I ain't normal...
But you knew that already, didn't ya?
