Answering question... the ammo is non-corrosive. Magnetic bi-metalic, copper washed, steel case.

Is that one spare magazine or one magazine total? And is that magazine an original issue item or one of the brand new aftermarket magazines?

 

[Artemus]

Just one. The holster has a pocket for a second one. It came with the one original military finished magazine when I got the pistol. The magazine has a dull finish that is either a form of Parkerizing or blued. These magazines front extended base is the take-down tool for the slide rollers.

You don't ever want to do that, just saying. It's good to know you can, but don't. Had a mag dump all of it's ammo and spring out the bottom of the gun after a bent mag floor plate came loose. Let's see a picture of those rollers, see what kind of condition they're in

I'll get a photo up tonight when I get home.

Here is a shot of the rollers in the slide. Look pretty good to me.

Your CZ is on its way to needing a new slide. Look at the space between the rollers and the locking surfaces on the slide

I have never fired this pistol, but have racked the slide quite a few times. Feels very smooth for surplus. No metal shavings. I have read about the Harrington Parts, rollers and firing pins mostly. But not slide wear.

 

[Artemus]

Raven, thank you for your input. I do not see wear around the rollers or slide to the extent seen in your photo examples (not my pistol). There isn't side to side play where the barrel rollers lock. This is a military collectible that would be fun at the range, not the best choice for IDPA competition. I think it's got life left, but like all used firearms, the caveat says "competent gunsmith inspection never hurts".

 

[Artemus]

Open to other Military Surplus, or trades of equal value.
