Consecutive serial number Cz82's

[Greasemonkey]

I'm a fan of Cz82s, these make 4 and 5, only these have consecutive serials. 

Both made in '85. How you see them is how they came out the box, minus the annoying white plastic trigger have it inspected by a qualified gunsmith warning tags. Being from RTI, you kind of never know what you'll get, these said "good" bore, well I don't see much difference vs one I got years ago that was hand picked. Both have bright shiny bores, very clean, no storage lube or grease with the typical Cz82 finish wear. The holsters I'm not a huge fan of, and they both came with OE Czech 12rd mags. I do have to give some props, there's no gaudy import billboard, its done on the grip and it's small.

Very nice GM, not often you blindly end up with consecutive SNs buying from RTI

They were offered together, for not much more than purchasing 2. I'm not lucky enough to end up blindly getting consecutive numbers.

Nice pair GM. 

How is it getting the 12th round into those magazines?  I usually only load 9 into the ten rounders when I'm shooting a lot because my thumbs get mighty tired! 

How would RTI even know if a polyoganal rifled barrel is good vs excellent?  If it's not pitted I wouldn't even know how to grade it.

Usually I just do 10, it's a nice round number, I have quite a few magazines, but like you my thumbs hurt after packing them. The last two are just to test typically. I have considered seeing if I could modify a Glock loading device.. maybe.


As for the barrels, that's a valid point, being chrome plated and polygonal, how does one decipher good from excellent? I don't remember anyone ever saying or even remotely mentioning their Cz82 bore sucked or was a sewer pipe.
