Haywizzle Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I bought a project CZ 75 pre-b transitional off gunbroker. It is still in transit. I know the front sight is missing but looking at the attached pic it appears the bushing is gone too. Has anyone installed a bushing in a pre-b transitional? I do already own a cz-75B High Polished Stainless so I was thinking of getting the CGW carbon steel 7580X in Hard Chrome for the B and using the factory part from the B in the pre-B. I am concerned the the polished stainless will look odd with the matte of the pre-b. Does anyone have a factory nickle bushing they want to sell me? Please PM. Once I receive the Gun i'll give David a call to see what if fit based on actual measurements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowenbuilt Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share Posted August 9, 2016 Once you get the stainless bushing out all you have to do is Scotch Brite it and dull the high polish. As little of the factory bushing that shows I don't think anyone would know the difference. I have plenty of the OEM bushings but none in nickel. Just be sure to align the cross drilled groove with the pin hole in the slide when you drive the bushings back in and you should not have a problem. I have occasionally had to run a drill bit through the bushing and front sight if the groove in both is not perfect. The drill bits are available through CZC but other than that it's an easy job to install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haywizzle Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Great. Thanks for your reply. Scotch Brite does the trick? Learn some new everyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHAVEGAS Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Anyone seeing any negatives so far? About to pull the plug but I worry about messing with a gun that has not had an ftf all season and is pretty accurate as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That does it then, am going to order one for my 85. Anyone know if there is a reason not to put one on a cz custom 75 cts ls? I do not know if they already work in a bit of magic when they put fit those together. Will call them if somebody does not have the answer.

Last year it was only legal in ESP on the 75B SA, but this year it's good to go on any model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twowheels Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 (edited) Thought so, thanks. It's time to put one in the sp 01 shadow. Edited April 19, 2017 by twowheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taroman Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Just installed one on my .40 caliber 75B. Great improvement. One hole at 10 yards, 2 inches at 25. Angus' load helped, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowenbuilt Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 (edited) I have 10 Pre-B Transitionals with the 10X bushing installed. They work perfect, just buy the one for the standard CZ 75 with the smaller OD barrel. I have one of the hard chrome bushings and it looks just like matt stainless. You will need a #47 drill bit if you are installing a new sight regardless if the sight is pre-drilled. After the sight and new bushing is installed carefully run the #47 bit through and the new sight pin will go right in without a problem. For the long slide just buy the one for the TS and it works perfect for the long slide. Edited April 21, 2017 by bowenbuilt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
