Since I was unable to get in contact with z1r, I am looking for a gunsmith, preferably in the northern Colorado area to install an AHR safety on my CZ550. I tried Matrix, the ones who took over the CZ550 work that AHR used to do and they are not taking any new work. If anyone has a suggestion, I would appreciate it. I am leery of shipping firearms, so try to avoid it as much as possible. Thanks in advance.

Check with Kevin Weaver in Peyton. (I know, I know, that's not Northern CO...)

Yes, Kevin Weaver. I just shipped him some to install.

Thanks both of you for the referral. I will get in touch with him this week.

When you ship to Kevin does he need the entire action or just the bolt and receiver?

For a CZ 550 he will need the action with bolt, trigger and sear.

For a BRNO ZKK the bottom metal will be required also as the trigger is pinned to the trigger guard.

I did a ZKK last month; they are very precisely made and required little fitting. They come with a little round plug to cover up the old safety hole.

Bitterroot are any of those safeties currently available for a left hand CZ 550. Or will be in the near future. I prefer the safety to fold in on the opposite side of the bolt handle. Can a right handed safety be threaded to a LH action.

We no longer have any LH safeties for the CZ 550 and will not be making any more. We made one big batch when the LH rifles first came out but they have all been installed.

A right hand safety (right-hand threads) cannot be installed on a LH bolt (left-hand threads).

But you have RH safeties available?

Yes, but we only sell and ship to Gunsmiths with an FFL, who know what they're doing.

Understand. Will have our guy contact you.
