    Just met the wizard! He has my cz! Im so excited! Dont tell my wife!
    Oh, good morning. Got a late late start sorry wizard..

    1. I had to smile reading this, b/c after reading the CZ thread last summer and getting turned on to them, and a a member contacted me that had one he was willing to sell (75B Omega), and then another member put me onto another one that I also bought (SP-01 Tactical), I was on my way to the CZ journey, which lead me to a Rami, and then I lost control and got a Shadow 2.
    2. I read about the Wizard for a long time and wondered about getting his "treatment" on one of my CZs.
    3. I actually met him when he was helping a neighbor friend sell a gun that I was buying, and then later at a dinner for some INGO members: great guy!
    4. I can't wait to hear of how your gun shoots after the Wizard performs his "magic" on it: enjoy!

    Hello. My name is mcapo (usually). It has been three days since my last gun purchase.

    1. I'm supposed to be in gun trimming mode, but I bought a gun 0 days ago (today) and another 1 day ago (Ruger Lightweight Officers 1911 9mm and a 3rd S/W 22A-1) and I bought 2 others Oct. 12 and 17 (Ruger P95 and S/W 41). All unplanned and just for fun, no "need" type of gun venturing.
    3. Wife not know about 2 of them yet, but will see the Savings account so I'll be exposed AGAIN.
    4. I need help. :dunno: I can't even hardly remember the last time I sold a gun. :laugh:
    5. I used to sell them quicker than I bought them, but I like what I'm buying more now and I know my funds are going to be cut when I retire in 8 months.

    That Warthog looked like it would be a PITA. But, there is an inherent challenge in a problem child that I’ll always be attracted to.

    Doddg : you need no step away from the S/W 22A multiples and get into the Ruger 22/45 Lite with a Pic rail for a red dot. It'll out shoot those Smith's everytime.

    I know - because I replaced my 22/A with one and I never looked back.

    YMMV...

    Good Morning, My People ..!

    I am sitting in the confines of Des Moines, IA awaiting my rental vehicle for the trip westward to Sidney, NE...

    Where men are men and women are men.

    I did finally get to Copper Custom on the diverted route over to Iowa last Friday.

    Had to pick up a chair I left @ the FGE that Losey was so kind it harboring for me until I could come n get it.

    And while I took the path less chosen to West Layfayette, I continued on to Valpo to coon-finger the BCI pistol & BCM 11" pistol.

    Choices, choices...

    While there, Tim (think MAC = Military Arms Channel/Youtube) strode in the building and I talked to him after my introduction [big fan]

    and we talked guns and accessories for 45 minutes. G R E A T G U Y..!!

    Tim is the real deal. I was so very impressed with his candor and him being so unassuming/approachable.

    He's a rock star - but he doesn't want that fame...just calls 'em like he sees 'em.

    I could not come up with a decision - so I left for the trek north to I-80 and the silliness that is 5 lanes o' traffic.

    Got outta there ASAP and pointed toward the Iowa line. Still made good time and the weather was with me.

    So - I've always wanted a BCM - and I really dig the components of the BCI - but the price point for the almost the same for "unknown" BCI -

    it is almost as much as the factory built BCM. I'll probably go with the BCM and figure out what SB-Tac "stock" to put on it.

    Most likely the 5 position SBA3 .. but maybe for less than $100 more .. the SBPDW stabilizing brace.

    yeah I know - that has been the undoing of the Hogeyes this year (*and every other year*)

    they get a late score and leave too much time on the clock for the other team.

    It was sorta epic, lot's and lot's a head whacking beat-'em-up football....Big10 style.

    It was reminiscent of the game @ Lucas for the championship a few years back. Hawks v Spartans.

    Same MO -- epic last drive for Sparty and we lose.

    They played their hearts out - much like Nebraska against OSU. I thought they might catch 'em...but

    Thanks for letting me cry on yo' shoulder, H45
