why do some Cz's look black?

[dandonnelly]

I just got my new cz 858 and it is a light grey. I would love to do the whole rifle in black, in most of the pics on here they look black. Did some on them come in a black finish or are they painted by the owners?
thanx
Dan

I think the newest ones are black. There is a thread somewhere around this site about that.
