My buddy took out his NIB 9mm CZ75B today. He cleaned and lubed it and replaced the plastic guide rod with a stainless steel Bedair guide rod before firing. He had one failure to extract (FTE) which subsequently caused a failure to feed when the next round in the mag jammed against the empty shell in the chamber. The problem occurred with Winchester FMJ. The empty shell had to be pushed out with a cleaning rod because it was snugly lodged in the chamber.
He fired about 350 rounds of Winchester and Remington FMJ with only that one FTE.
Two questions come to mind:
Does CZ recommend a break in period for their NIB pistols? In other words, should he write off the FTE as a break in issue.
If it's not a break in issue, what could've caused the FTE?
