kkal5000 Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Just brought a CZ .22lr second hand from Guntraders and had it send to my local RFD.I have to say the service was very good and I was very happy with the gun until today when when't out to try it. When the gun is loaded and the safety is on if you press the trigger it does not fire but when you pull the safety of the gun fires.(Everytime) Just wondering if anyone has had the same problem or not and is it easy to fix etc. I will contact the shop were I got the gun from but they are closed until Tuesday now so for now I wont say who they are.I don't want to give them bad name as like I said the service was very good and i hope they will sort it without any problem. The other thing buying a second hand gun were does it leave me with the shop.It was not mention to me that the safety was faulty so I guess is up to them to get it sort it.Any advice very much appreciated.

V8 90 Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Don't mess with it - contact the RFD you bought it from as soon as they're open next. Could be worth letting your RFD have a butchers but I would return it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisheruk Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Is it a 452? Put thousands of rounds through mine and it is perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisheruk Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 The bolt is a pretty basic thing. Have you ever taken it apart to clean? Probably cheeper to get your local RFD to look at it, if you are not sure about stripping the bolt yourself. Maybe a defective pin spring or something like that. How many rounds you put through it yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkal5000 Posted March 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Yes it is 452 Varmint.I had one before and did not have any problems.I got CZ 452 17 HMR and that one is fine but I got that one from new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkal5000 Posted March 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 I only had the gun for one day and dont know how many rounds have been fired but by looking of the stock and the barrel it is in very good condition so my guess not been used to much.

Fisheruk Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Have you taken the bolt out of the gun and tried to work the safety. That may give you a clue. I bet it is something really simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkal5000 Posted March 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 The trigger is very light so the previous owner must have change it.I will contact the shop first if they can send me a new spring if not will order the kit from Rimfiremagic and change the spring to a stronger one.

rwade545 Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 You have mentioned that you have a cz 452 in bouth .17hmr and .22lr, as you have 2 rifles try using the bolt from the .17hmr, and see if you have the same problem. Will help you figure out if it is the trigger kit or the bolt at fault. I am just presuming it will be the same bolt for both 17hmr and .22lr as the likes on the cz 455 all you change is the barrel and magazine recess.

mick miller Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Before looking at the bolt take the action out of the stock and examine the trigger spring. I bet a pound to a penny that some plum has cut coils off the spring to lighten the trigger. The spring should end flat both ends, if one end has a pointy bit it's been toyed with. Mine was exactly the same, a trigger kit fixed the issue and safely adjusted the pull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert 888 Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Might be better to get your rfd to sort it then you will have a guarantee. I did and im an engineer. So many people mess with triggers and don't know what they are doing. Im not saying you dont but it only cost me £10 to get mine done,thats cheaoer than a spring kit.Your gun should have been checked before it was sold. Could be worth contacting the rfd you bought it off and get them to pay your rfd for the work. Good luck and happy shooting Albert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0t0deb Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 the bolts are different,the.22 will fire the hmr but not the other way round, the hmr is longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkal5000 Posted March 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 I think will ask the RFD I bought it from to pay my local RFD shop to do the trigger kit job.It should be a quick simple job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPARKIE Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 has it had a trigger job chances are its got a yo dave or brookes trigger kit and the seer tube is too thick....this will want removing as the sears arnt engaging enough. if you are handy remove the trigger and polish the sears and edges so its like glass this will lighten the trigger and be safer.

CharlieT Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 I guarantee that someone who does not know what they are doing has played with the trigger. Either polished the sears or fiddled with the spring. Classic symptoms of a badly adjusted trigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 funny isn't it? Every time I say on here about bad trigger jobs being done on these guns and testing being done and normally suggested to be no more than an over gentle bump job about 20 idiots jump down my throat saying its easy and should be done on all CZ - well here is the result! CZ DIY kits are a serious accident waiting to happen purely because they are fitted by those that don't really understand triggers both RFD (non gun smith ones who think they are) and total amateurs. Very glad to hear you checked it out, at least I hope you did and it wasn't found accidently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmyb79 Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 As has been said, sounds like a trigger issue. Either too light or sear problem. Either way not a big job to fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telf Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 personally i would return it to the rfd and get them to have a look at it as you have just bought it let them sort it out,whether its a simple job or something more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul223 Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 (edited) i reckon your local rfd will sort it on the instruction of the rfd you bought it off, it'd be cheaper than posting back and forth, plus i'm sure your local guy would like the work Edited March 30, 2013 by Paul223 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkal5000 Posted March 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Looks like is all sort it now I hope.The RFD shop is sending me the trigger kit for free and my local RFD will get it fixed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
