I'm looking for some advice on building a surplus cz75 into an open gun. I know I could start with a TS or go straight to a built CM but I'd like to build something (preferably under $1500 to start) My idea sofar would be: Base gun: surplus cz75b or pre b for about $350-400 Mags: I've already got stock cz 75 16 rounders and mec-gar 17 round anti friction mags $free Mag extensions: probably buy 6 of the unfinished springer extensions to anodize a custom color and engrave with numbers/my info $360 but I'll amortize half of that as inventory to future builds/inventory $180 Muzzle brake: I'm out of my depth on this Barrel: either cut down a new 6" or try and find a used barrel, potentially mill something out of a blank if I can find a reasonable 9mm blank Barrel bushing: I would like to do a cone lockup but I am looking for suggestions This is chiefly dependent on if I keep the stock slide or can find a take off shadow top end Mag well: something aluminum, prepared to fit, grind, file, anodize, and fiddle with as needed (I've also got a big chunk of bronze that could be more useful than being a paperweight) Internals: I'd like to keep the stock hammer and internals unless I could do a SA conversion under budget Optic mount/optic: I really like green dots, and mounting the optic on its side, I don't like the slide rides (they make me blink when the gun recoils) Recommendations: this is where I look to you guys, anything I'm missing or any opinions would be appreciated Capabilities and tools, I've got access to haas vmc, manual mills, lathes, anodizing, parkerizing, and a friend that can tig/might weld fine work Probably np3/industrial hard chrome the pistol when everything is done I'd attach my current cz setup but my pic files are too big
