Good afternoon All! I was out shooting over the weekend with a few friends, blowing up tannerite and sighting in hunting rifles, just generally goofing off in the woods. We had targets at 100, 150, and a steel 12" gong at 300 yards. So, with several of us wanting to be the one who set off the tannerite, we were doing some fast shooting. It was fun, until it wasn't.
For me, it became less than enjoyable when my cz527m 7.62x39 misfired. Then a few shots later, it did it again. Then after two more it wouldn't hold back the cocking piece when I'd cycle the bolt. I thought maybe some junk got down in the trigger, so I grabbed a screwdriver, and in the front seat of my pickup, started disassembly.
First surprise was the front action screw was really loose, and that's never happened before. The rear was reasonably tight, but obviously not enough, because problem two was a super slight crack in the stock right behind the rear action tab..
I was shocked at the crack, but it can be glued, still hate that it happened, but the cocking piece not catching the sear really had me baffled, so I put the gun back together and set it aside.
Got to it today, and yep, still cracked stock, wasn't my imagination, but it's really slight, so probably not a huge deal on a light little kicker like this thing. I completely disassembled the trigger, and wiped down the parts, finally got the thing to work again, but these have such a miniscule sear engagement it almost scary! I still don't know if something is wrong, but it's working again as it was, the trigger feels like it should/did before. Maybe just the little crud I wiped out was the issue? I've had guns dirtier from 5 rounds than this thing was though, kinda makes me not trust it for the moment. It's my dream gun, but it let me down. A fall from grace is always disappointing...
