U-fix-em CZ-82's?

[Guest mr_b8908]

Has anyone of you guys ordered some of these? I hear that they are usually missing slide stops and slide stop springs. Any experience? They have them listed at like $129 as "repaired" whatever that means. I cant wait for my C&R to come in to I can get into some projects!

I've never ordered anything from Century. I've thought about ordering some of the U fix'em rifles.

It's a real gamble. Some have bulged barrels, and I saw one with a cracked frame. If you get lucky and get one with only a part or two missing, you can make out. But CZ82 parts are expensive, so if you are missing only a couple, you can get in over the point where it's worthwhile. All of the U-Fix-Em CZ82s I've seen have been 'rode hard and put up wet'.

thanks for the info gewehr! I didnt imagine that they'd be in that rough of shape but i guess you can trust century! I suppose thats why they are now selling them with new US manufactured barrels

FYI* - SOG has a one day sale on 82's for 159.95 - 12/13, also any sale gun on 12/15 - better deal, IMO.

* I'm not affiliated with or deliberately promoting SOG, just providing info.

[Guest mr_b8908]

So on 12/13 they are supposed to be priced at $159, and whats going on 12/15? I hope my C&R come in time for the sale!!! That is a great deal as long as they are in good shape!

12/15 is wildcard day at SOG. All previous day's sales are honored.

[Guest mr_b8908]

Awesome I hope my C&R get in quick! Otherwise I am going to have to find someone to order some for me. I use to be able to get on their site and look at their prices using google bot but now they have changed the system again Do they have any other notable sales? and do you guys know of anyone in the nashville area who would be able to order something for me?

Unless the "anyone" you're referring to is a FFL holder, be careful - I'm not all that familiar with C&R law, but if you're looking for a non-FFL C&R holder to make a purchase for you, you could end up in a world of legal hurt, since something like the above could be construed as a straw purchase (if I've missed your intent, I apologize - I'm sure you intend to stay within all legal boundaries).

Based on what I know, it's probably best to be patient and wait for your license; there will be plenty of good deals available once you have it. C&R holders: if I'm wrong, please correct me.

[Garufa]

A C&R license holder may dispose of firearms in their collection but buying a firearm using that license with intent to resell is really not allowed.

[Guest mr_b8908]

Im not looking for a "straw" purchase. I am looking to get it through the legal hoops of course, and with that said only an FFL 01 would be able to get it for me unless a C&R holder bought one for the chance that in may be nicer than one in their collection and sale the "uglier" one. My question re-phrased is.... Do you guys know of any dealers who are on file with SOG who you have used locally to purchase a firearm through them?
