Erud Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 I just ordered an SRO, and am looking for a mounting plate for my S2 OR. They seem to be the only place with the CZ factory steel plate in stock. Them being located in the Czech republic has me a little nervous about ordering. With all of the issues currently happening with shipping in the USA, adding a country on the other side of the planet into the shipping mix seems like it could be asking for trouble. Wondering if anyone has ordered from them recently, and what kind of experience you had. This is the part I'm looking for: https://www.cz-parts.com/cz-shadow-2-or-red-dot-plate-trijicon-rmr-/-sro I currently have a DP2 mounted with one of the P10 plates from CZ Custom. It works fine, and I'd probably just go that route for the SRO if I could find it in stock. I'm also open to other suggestions on plates for this. Thanks!

I had the aluminum plate made by an outfit in the USA and while it was machined well the optic mounting screws would loosen after a couple of hundred shots. So I took a chance and ordered a factory steel plate from CZ Parts and it arrived in about a week. So far on my SRO I like it better than the aluminum one. Yes I use locktite, and it still loosened up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erud Posted September 17, 2022 Author Share Posted September 17, 2022 Great info, thank you. I haven’t had any problems with the current mount yet, but I definitely like the idea of a steel plate better than aluminum so I think I’ll go ahead and order one. Just a quick follow-up question if you don’t mind; did the screws that came with your SRO work with the plate? I’ve seen some mention that they might be too long, but I’m not 100% sure of the exact applications they were referring to. thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would recommend getting shorter screws if yours don’t fit, because it’s a lot easier than trimming screws shorter and maintaining the threads.

Leezway Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 I myself and my friends have ordered from cz-parts.com and seboweapons.com in the Czech Republic several times and have to say I’m amazed on how quickly it arrives.. in most case within a week… it’s quicker than some companies in the US. I can’t complain they have been good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZOSO Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 I ordered an optic plate from them for my TSO. They shipped it quickly and it arrived in about 10 days. GTG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erud Posted September 18, 2022 Author Share Posted September 18, 2022 Thanks guys, I went ahead and placed the order. Not in any huge hurry, so no big deal if it takes a little longer to get here, and if it doesn’t that’s even better. Now to start looking for shorter screws!

Erud Posted September 28, 2022 Author Share Posted September 28, 2022 Just following up on this thread. I ordered the plate on 9/17, and it was delivered yesterday on 9/27. I've had domestic orders take longer than that, so I'm pretty happy with 10-day shipping from the other side of the planet. CZ-parts.com is good to go in my book, I wouldn't hesitate to order again.

CGoodwin Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Nice to hear! My second hand Shadow 2 OR came with a plate, but it is the aluminum one. I saw the steel one on cz-parts when I was searching. Going to order it now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaltK Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 (edited) I ordered 3 Toni recoil springs for my CZ P10F from this company. Actually had specific recoil springs for this gun. I did pay for premium shipping ( expensive). Ordered on 9/20/22. Received on 9/26/22. Faster service than many domestic companies.

ShredderTactical Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Just to add to the pile...CZ-PARTS.COM is very most awesome and definitely GTG!!! Order with confidence! Ordered an optic adapter plate for my S2 OR from them and had it in hand in a few days! Super impressed with their order processing and shipping speed. Even their charge for shipping is very reasonable, all things considered. Many US companies do not meet their level of service! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0724_1030 Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 I opted to give the CGW S2 optics plate a go. https://cajungunworks.com/product/cgw-shadow-2-optic-ready-plate-with-rear-sight/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen some mention that they might be too long, but I’m not 100% sure of the exact applications they were referring to. thanks again! I went through quite the debacle with the optic mount on my S2 OR. I bought an aluminum mounting plate from a company that I won't name and used it with good success for a few months. I made the mistake of unmounting the plate to clean the gun and that was when complete chaos ensued. From that point forward, I could never get the plate to stay tight. I had an area match coming up, so I eventually decided to use RED loctite on the mount because I was tired of messing with it. The mount stayed tight for a few days and then ultimately came loose again. After taking the optic off, I found out that one of the screws had snapped off in the slide. Unbelievably, I was able to get the screw out with a cordless drill, soldering iron, and a hansen bit. After looking at the plate, it was clear that it had loosened under recoil and the plate was peened. This resulted in all the energy being transferred to the screws. At that point, I had three days until I had to leave for the area match, so I ended up ordering the same plate from the same company because they were the only company I could find with one day shipping. I got the new plate and then proceeded to degrease everything with acetone and use red loctite on the plate and blue on the optic. On the final stage of A1, I discovered that my optic was loose yet again. This time, the plate was tight, but the optic came loose. When I got home, I degreased everything and remounted the optic. During a match the following weekend, the optic and mount blew completely off the gun and hit me in the face. Both mounting screws had sheered completely off in the slide. This time, I attempted to remove the screws and failed miserably. I was able to drill out the center of a screw, but the carbide hansen bit snapped off inside the screw. After shedding tears, I gave up and sent the gun to CZ. After a few months, they ended up just replacing the gun completely. I have since bought a direct milled S2 and had no problems. I learned two things from my experience: 1) I will never trust aluminum mounting plates again and 2) CZ has some of the best customer service out there.

0724_1030 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 (edited) I went ahead and ordered a steel plate from CZ-Parts as an alternative to the CGW plate, which includes a rear sight. I have been impressed with their communication and quick shipping. Edited October 10, 2022 by WSprtuaL Update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI, the OR S2 has recesses cut into the slide for the optic mounting screws. The screws that came with my SRO work fine and don't run into the slide. The slide in question in that thread clearly doesn't have cutouts in the area of the optic mounting screws. And yes CZ parts is GTG. The CZ plate fits nicely and the cutout matches the ejection port.

Suggest you call your credit card company and talk with them before placing your order. They might have to change your account so that international payments are authorized. When I order from CZ-Parts.com, I use a VISA card and it does show up as an "international transaction". My payments are authorized automatically, probably due to my credit card charge history and I might have had to chat with them years ago, but I do get an e-mail notification that there was an "international payment" in case I didn't make the charge or want to verify.

sx2gl35 Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Thank you; will do that...unless there is a domestic source for the steel plate? Or a domestic source becomes available within the next 3-4 months which is how long my County Clerk takes to "grant" pistol permit amendments here in enemy territory. Making the change from G***K and waiting on a brand new CZC Shadow 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know some card companies are sticklers for "odd" transactions. In that case you'd probably need to call them ahead of time as stated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s funny because I just received a package from cz-parts last week and received items from seboweapons today… You just have to set your cards for international purchasing, I use Visa and I believe they utilize Authorize-net or something like that.
