dax Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Hi guys,Does anyone have any ideas on how to light the trigger pull on a CZ22lr rimfire,The pull on my 22 is really heavy it`s not so much as squeezing the trigger,More a case of giving it a yank. thanks.

George1990 Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 (edited) There's a nut on the trigger spring that can be loosened to make the spring longer and easier to pull, which can be accessed by removing the 3 screws on the bottom. Most people, including myself, still find this to be too tight. You will also notice there's a lot of creep in the trigger. A trigger kit is the solution! I fitted one and it made a hell of a difference. I still have 3 springs and 3 tubes (for lessening creep) of different sizes left from my Eric Brooks trigger kit should you wish to purchase them off me If it's a CZ 452 I should add.

George1990 Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 (edited) Trigger pulls from kit: Min(lbs) - Max(lbs) approx. No spring: 0.50-0.50 #1 Extra Light: 0.75-1.00 #2 Light: 1.00-1.25 #3 Medium: 1.50-1.75 #4 Medium Heavy: 2.00-2.50 Factory spring: 3.50-3.75 I've used the #2 spring. The sleeves are 10, 12, 14 and 16 thousandths of an inch wall thickness. Ive used one of them, but can't remember which one at them moment.

chris d Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 glad to help! try not to go down the timney triggers route as these are expensive 83.50! a decent gun smith should be able to polish the trigger sear for you and this will lighten the trigger pull and souldnt cost to much either just another option for you if you cant get a trigger kit for it. atb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dax Posted October 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Hi guys,It seems i failed to include a piece of important infomation in my first post,That the cz22lr i have is a semi auto and i have been informed by the gun shop that the trigger cannot be adjusted in anyway shape or form,I have to say i am a more than disapointed,I may try to sell it or maybe part exchange it for a bolt action rifle.would it be fair to say that as the sear becomes worn the trigger become lighter.

chris d Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 hi mate, i think it would take a long time to wear the trigger sear down. better to go for a 1022 ruger if semi autos are your thing , the things you can do with these are endless! or go and px it for a cz 452 ,with a trigger kit in it . there are loads of these about second hand because people are pxing them for 17hmrs . cz,s are good value for money rimfires ,just make sure its got a trigger kit fitted cos its the only thing that lets em down! you might have to put in for a like for like variation(22) when you px your rifle ? ime not sure maybe someone on here can enlighten you??

bruno22rf Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 was it a gunsmith that said the trigger can't be altered?-never heard of one that cant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dax Posted October 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Hi bruno22rf,Not so much gunsmiths more of being in the trade for many years,I was surprised myself but not being a gunsmith or an expert on firearms i would be inclined to bow to their experience,If their is anyone out there with any advice i am all ears.

dax Posted October 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 hi cris d,I have just bought a 17 hmr of chubbs i think it was he`s emigrating to AUS lucky beggar,I had a cracking deal,Shot placement is critical if you want to eat the rabbits ect.you would`nt think somthing so small could do so much damage,I bought the 17hmr on advice of this forum being a left hander i was looking for a left handed 17 hmr rifle,The advice came back from lefty`s who where shooting right handed rifles go with a right hander you won`t go wrong and they where spot on bolt action i might add.I will go for a 22lr in bolt action form i think i will have to find out about the procedure for a change over.

chris d Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 welldone mate, hmr is a cracking rifle, just give it a bore snake after every box, cos its a dirty round . and a good scrub after 200-300 rounds should see its ok. if you want any info on this calliber have a look on the rifles and cartriges section on gun trader , ime just in the process of getting shut of mine goin back to 22lr cos its cheep and ive got a 243 to feed now! atb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dax Posted October 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Hi cris. I was well pleased with the 17 hmr rifle,I had already missed one rifle that one of the lads had for sale tried to haggle him down 50£ somone else stepped in with full price 500£ and pipped me to the post i was gutted then this one came up more or less right away needless to say no hagging got the full kit plus 300 rounds of ammo 400£ the lot bargain,I was in the truck the next day and picked it up. Been in touch with the people who supply the Eric Brooks trigger kit it dosn`t fit the cz511 and they also said that they didn`t know of a trigger kit from anywhere that would fit it seems that if you by a cz511 semi auto your stuck with the factory trigger,The chap in the gun shop suggested an idea he called it a trigger shoe they are no longer sold but he did say that you could make one,You fit it on the trigger with grub screws it makes the trigger wider and halfs the weight thats what he said anyway so i will give it a go before i decide to change it for a bolt action,In the mean time if anyone out there comes across info on how to do a trigger job on the cz511 semi auto i would appreciate it if they passed it on to me.
