Rusted in grip screw started it; broke it off (I can fix that).

So, decided to detail-strip it since I've owned it ten years and never tried.

Uh-oh.

Anyone with schematics / advice / help? LOL
 
Don't know a thing about the EAA's, but here's a bunch of stuff from their web site:

thanks so far

Appreciate the schematic.

Bob, I got alla parts (heck, got another two guns; I got parts LOL).

I punched out the trigger pins, then with the hammer cocked (think this was my downfall) knocked out the hammer pin.
Now I can't seem to go in either direction.

FWIW, this here is Caspian Country.
(But Sokol is only two hours aways if it ain't snowin' too hard...hmm.....but there goes my other-gun money; know what I mean?) :D

And of course I could just send it to EAA.Or EGW; safer bet, ay?
 
WESHOOT2,
There's no doubt, if you can get it to George at EGW he will be able to help you out.

I wish that everytime I took a gun apart I would have enough parts to build two guns, some people have all the luck. :)

The CZ and clones are covered in The Gun Digest Book of Firearms Assembly/Disassembly: Part I, Automatic Pistols by J.B. Wood. This is usually available in bookstores and is a wealth of information on close to 100 different guns. Simply start at the end of a section and work backwards to reassemble.
 
back for more

Handy, I've checked out that book and my Witness(es) stop looking similar when you get to the trigger / mainspring stuff.
Rats, ay?

And Mr. Smith once laughed at me about my Witness; something about hard metal and broken tools.............but he do know 'em.

Oh, money spent.......decisions.......angst........and at least one more attempt by Mr. Hack-Hand. :D
 
That's strange. My older addition uses and FIE TZ75, which is also a Tanfoglio. I'm surprised anything changed enough to cause you problems.

Good grief, see what you get for taken stuff apart - not to mention Cleaning the darn the fool thing. "Weight is horsepower" is the saying for racing cars, not the EAA.

Just grab the carburetor ajusting tool - - no the other one, yeah the bigger one.
NOW you can really fix it. Sheesh I thought I "learnt you better than that". :D

Yeah he knows what a carburetor is, us old fellows know that kind of stuff..."whack...whack...whack". :p
 
Having done a lot of trigger work on Witnesses, I have to say:

I HATE ROLL PINS!!

I replaced them all with drill rod.
