My CZ 85B has developed an issue failing to extract. It has 1,214 rounds fired through it (yes, I wrote Gun Log so I do know the round count), and has never had any springs changed.
Description:
Fired case has about 1/4" still in the chamber (didn't fully extract or maybe it didn't eject and it just happens to partially go back into the chamber), next round in mag is putting pressure on case not extracted and pushing it up slightly and therefore the slide hangs on it.
It has done this 6 times now, and each time exactly the same.
I have visually inspected the extractor and it looks good, but I need to compare it to another to make sure. The extractor spring feels very strong as I push on the extractor and rock it in and out.
I have not inspected the ejector.
I don't know if a weakened recoil spring will cause such malfunctions.
If anyone has experienced this, please share what you have learned.
p.s. Just had a chance to clean and inspect. Ejector looks fine, extractor looks fine, I am thinking recoil spring.
