    CZ Custom shop questions for people who have used them

    Almost all of their guns right now say on order with no specified time frame. For anyone who has ordered a pistol from them how long is the usual wait time? Also, for anyone who has used them for gunsmithing services, how long is the usual turn around time? Thanks for any info, David

    NEF r92 broken crane/yoke...is it an easy fix?

    My buddy inherited a NEF r92 about a year ago, and while at the range the crane/yoke randomly broke. Is the fix going to require any fitting by gunsmith? Will a part from the almost identical H&R gun work if I cant get a hold of a NEF part? Also just a question I have if anyone might know...
