I have a CZ-52 that I like t a lot, but I have thought of having some work done on it. I have called one local smith who believes that, "With the CZ-52, you get what you get. It's a fine pistol, but it's not 'cost effective' to work on it."
I respect the man's integrity, but I would really like to get some work done. Here's what I have in mind:
1) Honing parts of the trigger assembly to give a smoother pull. The CZ-52 has a firing pin block, that actuated by the trigger, so it's never going to have light pull, but I've heard that honing some of the parts where they contact each other can make it much much smoother.
2) I would like to have new sights. My eyes ain't what they used to be, and the front sight is pretty small and hard to see. I understand that no one makes sights for the CZ-52, so dovetails would have to be milled into the slide.
So here are the questions:
Am I a crackpot to think of doing this to a CZ-52?
Where would I find a smith that could do this kind of work?
How much would this kind of work cost?
Thanks,
