Hey gang,
Picked up a CZ 82 a month or two ago and I'm having some problems. I haven't shot it a lot but I am getting intermitten failure to feeds. When I chamber a round I don't have any trouble but sometimes multiple times per mag the rounds are not chambering. After the failure I am usually able to pull the slide back, release and it will then chamber.
The rounds seem to feed fine if I manually cycle the action through a magazine of rounds.
I'm no expert but one potential problem I see is that the rounds sit in a such a way in the magazines that when I try to strip a round off with my thumb it catches on the front of the magazine and it stops. I have a few other semi-autos and the round easily clears the front of the magazine on those.
Some photos:
Rounds seated in mag:
After I try to strip a round off with my thumb...it's caught:
Other views of it stuck:
If you look closely you can actually see a little ding/dent in the case...these rounds have been chambered so that might be where it got caught last time.
I'm temped to open up the front of the magazine to allow the round to feed but I don't want to jack it up worse.
Anyone ideas?
I'd love to hear from someone else with an 82 and hear if theirs looks the same as my photos.
Thanks!
John
