Shadow sp-01 - does this look bnib to you ?

Thank you guys for your quick answers on that !

I guess I can't compare these ring marks vs glock's which come in after a few hundreds rounds only ??
 
The insides of CZ's are not all that nicely finished from the ones I've seen. It's a duty gun, not a shiny display toy. If the finish on the outside is nice with no pressure marks and no chips then it's NIB or near enough to it.

Don't sweat the rub marks on the barrel. If they bother you look for a burr of some manner on the barrel bushing collar and LIGHTLY hone it away. It won't make the existing marks go away but it'll stop them from becoming more pronounced.

In the picture with the guide rod the rod is clearly bent. That's about the only odd thing I'm seeing.

I have had a few of these one being brand new, they shoot well but the finish on the barrel has always bothered me. Unfortunately this seems to be typical. having said this , yours seems to be one of the worst that I have seen. I would def call the distributor and see if they will do anything for you..

Exterior is really mint condition
It's not barrel aesthetic that I'm questionning... I strongly doubt 3 rounds factory test can do that amount of ring marks
I just wanted to make sure I didn't get ripped off with a used one when I bought bnib...
It's not like sellers only have this to do but it's not like peoples don't get ripped off here and there either !

Thanks for your input sir !

they are cycled more times than simply firing. from start to finish they are racked hundreds of times.
 
Guns aren’t like a Swiss watch that is handled with white gloves until it gets sold. They get racked over and over, dry fired numerous times and broken down and reassembled even more times.

By the time it gets through all the manipulation and QA, these ring marks will appear. It’s all normal business.

Do you honestly believe that a reputable dealer would try to sell you a used gun as new? Not likely.

It's new, now go shoot the darn thing, lol.
 
That's not a flat recoil spring. Just a newer coil spring.

My CZ SP01 came with this flat spring, and a poly guide rod. Which doesn't effect anything. Cannot use a metal guide rod with the flat springs.

I watched a CZ factory tour video several months ago that showed each new gun dry fired (with complete cycling action) at least a hundred times before leaving the factory.

Found the video on CZ USA's Instagram page:

I see thanks !


Well guys, I've disassemble the thing after posting and I barely got light grey on 1 patch for the entire holes/pins/springs.... either this thing was rigorously cleaned before shipping or it wasn't used/fire couple hundreds time.

Now with the Factory dry fire video from Beauvais98, I can better appreciate the ring marks on my barrel

Again, thanks to all for your input, much appreciated !
