How to fix these gouges?

[Beelzy]

Nice staking job! Oh wait, that's not a AR bcg.

It's been almost 2 month since the OP started. It's not that hard to fix. Recoat the slide or the entire gun with Duracoat. Sand that area smooth and follow instruction of Duracoat to recoat it.

Black marks-a-lot and let it roll. Lesson learned, you get whay you pay for.

Totally. Just use a sharpie to blacken it and shoot the crap out of it. Lesson learned. I've done some stupid stuff to my guns too.

In looking at the pictures?If it was me I would take the slide off and get it re poly coated. The chips are not in the metal that bad. Poly coat is really thick stuff and will cover a bunch of flaws. That?s why they use it. Just get another rear sight. That is not worth the hassle to fix. Those are not poly coated.

Imo just contact CZ custom via email and let them do it?.along with putting the new rear sight in so send one of those. That looks like a Dawson?is it?

It's the CZ custom CZ adjustable rear and front sight.

Thanks for the input on the poly coat. I may have to send it in as I'm getting light strikes lately. I thought I cleaned it thoroughly but CZ check for fowling around the firing pin before I mail it to them.

If I were to put on my Bubba hat, I'd remove the rear sight, fill in the slide gouges with JB Weld, sand smooth, and then duracoat or cerakote, same with the gouges on the rear sight, then reinstall.

Hopefully OG Bubba didn't F up the dovetail somehow.

Jesus H Christ, did you bang your friend's wife or something?

How on earth did he decide to KEEP GOING?

Next time DIY... this is the result of $5 of delrin rods off amazon, a little research on youtube, and a few careful strokes of a file... on my first time ever doing it.

I rigged a sight pusher using a small machinists vice and brass dowels. Brass is easy to clean up. For a polymer slide delrin dowels work, too.

A little geometry and knowing the thread pitch let's one move sight 0.001" accuracy - this gets windage true for 100+ yards.

I did that on my newly built Glock 26 prior to the Dicken drill fun!

Oof. He missed a lot more than just a few times.

I think this was the hammer for installing some other sights on other guns.

Your friend had absolutely no idea what they were doing...OMG.

Hi everyone,

Hope this is the right forum for this.

A friend installed the sight on my CZ 75 SA. The sight did not go in easily and he ended up using a hammer and punch to get it in. As you can see, he missed a few times. I hate the way this looks and I'm wondering what my options for repairs are?

Is this a cerakote situation? File/sand/then coat?

CGW said they could help but I'd rather find a local shop if possible.

Appreciate any advice. Thanks!

CZ sometimes does paid repairs outside of warranty. Contact them and ask if they would do the work.

Start out with an apology for letting someone bugger up their gun.

Returns
If you qualify for warranty/custom/paid repair work, the service center will issue a Return Authorization number.

The Return Authorization number must appear on the package in BOLD lettering.
Include a detailed explanation of the issue along with your name, phone number, email (if applicable) and a physical address. (NO P.O. BOXES PLEASE)
-The firearm must be unloaded.
-The firearm must be properly packaged
-The firearm must be sent through a carrier that can provide a tracking number. CZ-USA will not be held responsible for packages lost or damaged in transit.

Maybe they'll front you a new sight (or ask if you can send along a new one for installation by non-Bubbas).

I used a sight pusher on my Glock 34. The new sight was an extremely tight fit in the slide so I lubed it up with molybdenum disulfide which made it slip into the slide with relative ease. But it?s still stuck in place and will not move unless the pusher is used again.

Make sure you all study, there will be a test later...

Yep. Like I said. Most. You aint them!
