czechmate barrels!?

[ringram]

Ok, so for about 2 years now Ive been trying to find and obtain a replacement czechmate barrel.

 

Does anyone know where I can get one or more from?

 

My A series Czechmate barrel broke, so trying to get a replacement, preferrably the newer D series...

 

Help

ringram,   CZ Custom often has the barrels.  https://czcustom.com/cz-parts-all/barrels-complete-upper/cz-75-barrel-czechmate-9mm.html  Currently out of stock but they frequently have them.

You could order one from Bar-Sto as well and have them thread it for you

CZ won’t send you a replacement?

curious, which one would one order for a TS frame? The sp01 barrel or the S2 barrel? Then just have them thread for cone comp, right?

Tell them you have a TS, it's basically same OD as SP-01 (0.55")

Here's my TSO with Bar-Sto extended barrel and clamp-on comp:

 Nope. They said they would not take the 14x1 thread. But yes they make them long enough. Basically a 5.2" shadow 2 barrel.. Threaded..

No. Out of warranty and they have had none for ages / years.

I think this is in New Zealand, not sure. Shows in stock.

Czechmate parts seem hard to get. I resorted to making my own slide stop pins since they're not available.

if they won’t thread it for you that pitch, and the checkmate uses a 5.2” barrel which is the same as the tac sport you could get a normal tac sport barrel I just have a threaded. Have you tried asking cz custom? They also have a threaded tactical sport barrel but it’s a different pitch I think, You could put a normal 2011 comp on it

[Superkaratemonkeyfighter]

All 2011 comps are 11/16x40

i tried to get a couple companies to make a comp with a small bore. 
non will. 
you just might have to buy the checkmate barrel from cz. 
 

[ringram]

Yes I have tried many things to no avail. Hence this post searching for a spare.. 

 

Pretty poor on CZ part if you ask me, not to have any spares for years.. 

[Superkaratemonkeyfighter]

So wait. When your checkmate is out of warranty and a major part breaks your screwed ? 
Not saying your wrong it just messed up if this is true. 
I’m thinking back and everybody I know that had a breakage was still under warranty. 
that makes me reconsider ever getting one. 

[ringram]

Screwed for a while yes. Though CZ just got back to me with a tentative date for some more barrels. 3 months +

Fortunately the guns come with 2. But if you shoot a good amount, its very likely you will break the lugs. Especially on the older series. The newer ones have a redesigned slidelock lug.

Is the A you refer to the prefix on the serial number?

I assume that's what OP is referring to. CZ made the design change to the barrel lug sometime during the B-series from my research, so all As and some Bs have the old thinner lugs (same as other CZ barrels), and some Bs and all Cs have the thicker lugs. I'm not sure when the D series started, but I have seen photos somewhere where a D series gun had an interesting barrel that had a round insert in the lug; I'm not sure if that is a change across all the D series guns or if it's just CZ playing parts mix-n-match 

 

I haven't really heard about lug breakage being an issue with the newer barrels with thicker lugs, certainly not in the <10k rounds timeframe the original ones were known to fail at.

Found the photo.

Here are my 2019 dated "C" czechmate barrels.

 

The lug has been strengthen on them both.

[ringram]

Yeah as above.. Cz managed to get me a lightly used D series to crack on with. So many thanks to them for that. 

[ringram]

If you line the barrels up side by side you will see the newer ones have a longer lockup lug from where they used to beak. From memory 0.17" vs 0.20" or there about at the front. Basically it was from unlocking that they used to break. See pic below.
