CZ Work?

[chizzle]

Allen,
Have you considered doing machining work on CZ pistols? I'd kill to have a CZ 75 with front strap checkering, but unfortunately that is a unicorn that isn't readily available. Here is an example of some really nice checkering (from CZ75 SP-01 Shadow Viper, a German custom shop Waffen Oschatz )

Follow up; it looks like some are machined and some are silver soldered panels to me:

Ths is a good question. My first thought was no. I have a 1911 checkering jig but nothing for the CZ.
I know EGW sells checkering inserts so I looked those up and they list one for BHP and EAA but they are out of stock.

However......If by some small miracle the CZ 75 and BHP have the same front strap radius I can get a conversion for my jig that will work on the BHP, Caspian hi cap, Para and PPK

Thats as far as I got, I dont own either a BHP or a 75.
If we can come up with 2 to compare that would be nice and you might get lucky, plus I would like to know.
On the down side I would need more then one pistol to do to justify the conversion cost.

Chizzle have you considered hand checkering the front strap? I know it's a lot of work but probably the only option besides silver soldering panels on.
