CZ 22 Kadet Conversion

Thanks guys. I gave them a call and they had a one kit in stock. The price was a bit high so I held off. Luckily, irunguns has a much better deal so I ordered from them instead. Can't wait until it get's here next month.
The salesperson at CRAFM was offering it to me for $715 (down from $750 listed price) before tax and shipping. At irunguns I paid $438USD, which includes the $25USD shipping fee. I bought a few other magazines as well. I think if you're just buying the conversion kit I think it would be around 560-580 $CAD with the foreign exchange rate, GST and shipping within Canada factored in. Still comes out quiet a bit cheaper than the CRAFM.
Did you check to see what they wanted for the whole gun?
They are great kits that's for sure. Not quite worth $800 after taxes and shipping though. There has always been a big difference in price on CZ .22 Kadet kits between the US and Canada. More so then the typical difference.
I bought mine years ago before the clamp down on "free" trade and I think I paid around $450 landed. They are definitely worth it at around $500.
Agreed. I'm pretty excited to be able to get more practice with my pistol using 22 LR. I have about 7K of 22 LR that there's no way I'm going to be able to get through with my bolt action rifle.
Yes, that makes sense. I wouldn't pay $950 for a used Kadet either. I think I paid $850 out the door for mine a few years back.
Just remember your trigger in the Shadow in 9mm can be much lighter than the .22 conversion, it won't be the same exact feel as your Shadow since you need a 15lb min to 17lb hammer spring for the Kadet. Unless you run heavy all the time.
Thanks for the heads up. I had Dlask change all of the springs to lighter ones when they installed a competition hammer. Guess I'm going back to the stock ones for the kadet.
I really like mine...bought it years ago and use it every year in our local Steel Challenge Rim Fire Class. It operates great on regular springs (recoil and hammer) but likes a hotter load...high velocity round of all kinds seems to cycle well.
Mags can be tough to get and a bit expensive...i got a bunch from CZ Custom in the US a few years ago.
It is true about the fit needing a little work but that might be a good thing to allow you to fit yours to your frame...a fine file and go slow...always file your slide, never your frame.
