walnutty Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Hi Guys, I'm considering a CZ for my next pistol. Awhile back I read somewhere that CZ barrels are finished using a "carburization" process. Are CZ barrels harder than regular carbon or sts steel? The reason I ask is I like to be able to load bullets of different lengths and have a reamer for this. However, I don't want to damage my reamer if the steel that CZ uses is extra hard. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 It's not that hard. I lengthened the free bore of my barrel with a cheap drill bit turned by hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
