CZ-52 Pistol Refinished

[ZachManZ71]

how do u change the grips? plzhelp

[JOHNFMKN]

@ZachManZ71 The metal clip you see that wraps around from the backstrap to the grip pannels, to remove it just use a flat head screw driver to lift up one side and then pull it off. Then the side pannels of the grips will come off.

That's a purrrrrrrrrrrrrty gun. subbed ya.

@TheShanezzzz

I went through one of those with a buddy in a day. Tore up my thumb from reloading it so much but was so much fun to shoot. He put in a bigger recoil spring and it still threw brass 10-15 feet.

Nice job.... looks good...I'd love to have one, along with a 9mm barrel, so that I could shoot both rounds...

[CmdrALF]

"little" pistols? lol how did you polish the barrel? does it add to the overall performance to the pistol?

[JOHNFMKN]

@CmdrALF I used 220 grit cloth backed abrasive paper. It's just for looks.

[babyeatsdingos]

@JOHNFMKN

Polishing the barrel just temporarily cleans it. The now clean surface will then oxidize. Polish it and keep it oiled to keep it looking shiny.

[dsrtdwg10]

How do you fit a new barrel? Can it just drop in?

[JOHNFMKN]

@dsrtdwg10 Yes, it's drop in, if it has the rollers already on it.

[dsrtdwg10]

@JOHNFMKN thanks alot

[JOHNFMKN]

@TheShanezzzz Some areas I had to polish down to the metal and the rest I blued over the parkerized areas.

[MegaGevehr]

Fuck, that does it, I'm going to have to refinish my CZ-52. Looks FANTASTIC

Have you considered getting Novak fiber optic sights added?

[JOHNFMKN]

@MegaGevehr I've seen them and they look good, I want to get the slide release first.

[palex9]

did you reblue yourself with some kind of cold blue? which one? and, was yours parkerized or blued originally? thanks

[JOHNFMKN]

@palex9 It was parkerized, I used Birchwood Casey Perma Blue.

[TheFirearmEnthusiast]

For a small cartridge that's a massive looking pistol.

[ww2footage]

@TheFirearmEnthusiast it is not a small cartrige, it is longer than 0.45 ACP

[ww2footage]

@TheFirearmEnthusiast ...no offense, but this cartrige(even standart one) defeats PAGST helmet easily

[TheFirearmEnthusiast]

@ww2footage

I have no idea why I said that, the 7.62x25mm is a great cartridge. You're right.

[TulaMosin1891]

I like the polished barrel, very cool.

[TMoorej]

Good Job, John!

[TheLaughlngMan]

Very nice setup. Are those the Hogue wood grips?

[JOHNFMKN]

The grips came with the pistol so I don't know who the maker is. They have a Z on them, and that's the only mark on them.

[HCDDWarhero]

wow, that was fast. nice

[bulkfull]

came out nice buddy!!!!

[hot318]

i do, i do like it,

it came up very nice,

just a shame the Moron Australian Goverment has made pistol onwer-ship very complicated.

well done John, i trust this is the first of many pistol vids?

+++++

[blitzkrieg459]

I like it man, its a classic from the "other" side.
