So I go to the local gun store to file the paperwork for a custom Colt LE6920 that I purchased from a fine member here in the Classified section and see this sitting in the used glass case among a sea of shit...
I ask to handle it, do my safety check, and notice how pristine it is. I actuate the safety and immediately notice that there’s fresh oil underneath the safety. I say outloud, “This gun hasn’t even been fired...”
Some old guy just lounging around said, “Oh, do you like it? Yeah, that was mine and I put it on consignment. It is unfired.”
Needless to say, I am picking up an AR and a CZ-75B stainless high polished in a few days...
"I ask to handle it". Oops. Yep, I probably could have guessed the rest. Very nice..and mags are affordable. Side note-is the guy who put it on consignment named Norm or what?

Your first CZ? I have the SA, 75, 85, 97B. I may make projects of the 75 and 85.
