CZ-52 Bits 'N Pieces
« on: March 28, 2009, 01:45:38 PM »
OK, I'm hooked on finding embellishments for my 52 and the one my buddy has coming as well.

Planning to order extended slide release levers, heavy recoil springs and standard profile machined firing pins.
Will need to inspect the rollers and other bits.

Also looking for a source of the extended magazine floorplates. http://makarov.com/ shows them but no longer vends. They do direct viewers to "MJ Facets" as the producer.

Found their site http://www.mjfacetsjewelers.com/
Tried to email at their address: mjfacets1@crestviewcable.com  "Message Refused"
I have their tel. number so I'll try that Monday.

Anyone know more about the extended floorplates?

Hammerspur, if your looking for an extended floorplate for more rnds it's tough to do because of the mag catch but you can get one more rnd. by just shortening the back leg of the follower.  I've got 9 or 10 mags for my 3 guns and I've done this to all of them.  take your follower out and you'll see how much to cut off, about 1/4".  They still work perfectly.

Hank, No I'm hip to the mod for increasing the capacity to 9. Here's a link detailing it:
http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://thegunwiki.com/pub/Gunwiki/ProcModifyCZ52MagCap9/CZMag01.jpg&imgrefurl=http://thegunwiki.com/Gunwiki/ProcModifyCZ52MagCap9&usg=__hmYgxIYEbNtrKA63LNstxTNJeCs=&h=388&w=312&sz=33&hl=en&start=219&tbnid=7094Kh-Oor8rVM:&tbnh=123&tbnw=99&prev=/images%3Fq%3DCZ-52%26gbv%3D2%26ndsp%3D20%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26start%3D200

What I'm referring to is these:




I like the lip at the toe of the butt for feel and control, plus I like the look.

MJ Facets got back to me... was a one shot casting run for Makarov.com, no longer available.  :(

My buddy has a saved page with floorplates like these for another pistol which can be altered to fit the 52, so...
                                      Still Looking...  :-\

Wouldn't be too hard to make something like that or to take one made for another gun and attach with 2 sheet metal screws, just like we attach bumpers to 1911 mags.  I'll see what I can find.

I think I found something just like the part above but intended for another pistol. Looks straightforward enough to adapt.
