Frank Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Was wondering, are CZ 527 .223 bores hand laped at the factory? Some say yes others no B) , does anybody know the truth? Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazooka Joe Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 (edited) Frank, A copy/paste from the CZ site, hope it's of use!!! : "Why are CZ rifles so accurate?"A: All CZ rifle barrels are gun drilled, reamed and lapped, then the blank is Hammer forged. After Forging, the barrel is honed in a power honing machine, this process removes any roughness which may cause copper fowling and therefore poor accuracy, this kind of attention to detail is unheard of in the gun industry today.

bobt Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 so no? hand lapping takes a huge amount of time and would be uneconomical even at check rates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 When you consider the price that you pay for a CZ rimfire and then compare it to a Sako rimfire, then I think it is fair to say that you are getting a great gun for the money. The Sako isn’t worth almost twice as much I can assure you….I have both and the Sako is very overpriced. What I would love to see is a little design change with CZ where they could perhaps import (or make) a Sako type trigger unit, which could be fitted instead of that bloody awful “Drag sear” that they use. If this could be done I daresay it would put another £40 on the price of the rifle…..and it would still be £200 cheaper than the Sako. B) What a fabulous rimfire rifle you would have. Certainly a world beater at the price. G.M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted October 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 (edited) Thasnks fellas. B) Bazooka Joe, thanks for link. Although it does not exactly say the bores are hand laped on the site, it does mention that it is smoothed out for less copper fouling, which is a good thing i gather.
