gunner01 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 (edited) I would like to get the slide on one of my CZ SP01 Shadows milled for an SRO. Can I get some recommendations for getting this work done? CZ Custom Cajun Gunworks Vulcan Machine Werks Fire4Effect Primary Machine I think I would give some preference to a company that also has a rear site cover plate available for their cut but that would just be one factor. Current backlog, price, and quality of work are factors as well. Thanks Edited November 15, 2019 by gunner01 added SP01 to be clear not Shadow 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieD Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Primary Machine are perfectionists. Everything they’ve done for me is beautiful, and their turnaround time is extremely fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Jacket Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I was happy with the work Primary Machine did for me. Had them mill an SP-01 for an RMR with the trijicon mounting plate. Looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mveto Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I’m really happy with the CZC plate system. It allows for switching optics if you don’t like the SRO and want to try something else later and the also have a cover plate do you could go back to iron sights if desired.

Archangelgt Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 My friend had Fire4effect mill and mount his SRO, came out really well done and makes CO weight, using TTI Extensions, and LOK Palm Swells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner01 Posted November 15, 2019 Author Share Posted November 15, 2019 I really like the idea of changeable mounting plates. Does anyone have a picture of a Shadow milled with CZC plate system with an SRO mounted. I know it is going to sit higher than a direct mount system. How much of a disadvantage (if any) is this higher stance going to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamese35 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Fire4efects has done three of my dads TS. Will does great work and if you dont want his standard milling look, he will work with you to get you something you want. Also from what I understand will has come up with a pretty sick way for multiple optics mounting with interchangeable blocks or something like that. I dont keep up with the slide mounted optic stuff like I should, i shoot open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slide4949 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I had Matthew Mink, ( Automatic Accuracy ) do all the work on my CZ SP01. He is a super nice guy and did an amazing job on my gun. He has Jeb Burnett ( Armtac ) doing his machine work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shot an adapter-plate gun last year and a direct-milled one for all of 2019. Milled into the slide is the way to go if you want to effortlessly switch between irons and optics. If you plan to shoot the dot gun exclusively it’s not an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrecks Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Pretty sure CZC is the only one that does a universal plate, so if that's a sticking point then you've only got the one option. On the other hand, the RMR/SRO cut also works with Holosun so you've got 3 good optics that fit the pattern if you really think you're going to mix and match (highly unlikely).

eerw Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 (edited) CZC offers the RDS plate cut, we can also direct mill for the optic too. right now my primary is RDS, my backup is direct milled. Edited November 16, 2019 by eerw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, but I also like the ability to add a rear site plate back on the gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaning strongly towards CZC plate cut. Roughly, What kind of lead time are you running right now. Is the direct mill cut the same depth as the plate cut, so in effect you gain exactly the height of the plate when using an optic with the plate?

Wrecks Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 The quarter of an inch height delta ain't gonna change your ability to find the dot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are at about 6-7 weeks . the plate forms the top parts of the FP channel so it is about as low as direct milling is. no trouble on transition between dot and iron sights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuvDog Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 CZC did my S2s.. RDS plate for my Vortex Venoms. They sit low and I like the fact that I can switch sights when the new hotness comes around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was blown away by the overall quality of machine work and finishing. These guys are 1st class machinists that actually put a premium on quality work and excellent customer service.
