jam1e Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) Hi folks. I've been having a little trouble for a short while now, while using my CZ 452 in .22lr. Now and again, the bolt wouldn't lift the next round up and into the chamber. Also, when it did, the bolt was a little stiff to close. Not really bad, but enough to give it a good clean, without separating the metalwork from the stock. Anyway, this didn't work with either lifting the round, or closing the bolt. I then decided to separate the stock from the metalwork. On doing so, I see the rear plastic magazine housing securing bolt is very loose, and the plastic magazine housing is broke. So what happened there?? I'll contact the supplier of the gun, as I bought it from them new, and I they should be able to get hold of another from them. I'll probably have to pay... Although from memory, I'm sure the gun had a five year warranty?? It's around 3 1/2 to 4 years old, and had around 1500 rounds through it. My thoughts are, that the rear bolt came loose, so the magazine housing dropped down a bit. The magazine then wasn't going high enough into the housing, hence the bolt not picking up the round. And after time this force caused the magazine housing to break. That's my thoughts anyhow..... I'm tempted to super glue it and bolt it back on with a little mild loctite. What are your thoughts people? Cheers Edited July 9, 2016 by jam1e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_b_wales Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 CZ's usually carry a 3 year warranty from Edgar Bros' I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jam1e Posted July 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 You You You don't get ..... If you don't ask. It's a fair point. I'm going more on what my local RFD are, rather than Edgar Brothers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saddler Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 My BRNO had the identical part, but steel not plastic. Never broke. I'd try gluing it or using an epoxy or similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose, when you say Bruno, you mean the older "CZ's" ? I'm going to go with gluing it, and using a little Loctite on the steel retaining bolts. Wait and see I suppose....

saddler Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 When I say BRNO I mean BRNO. Completely different company. What CZ UB did to the original designs after taking over the BRNO firn is down to them & their accountants....hence plastic parts instead of metal, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malkiserow Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 Jamie, if you need a contact at Edgar pop me a PM. I can give you the workshop managers contact for a chat. They are pretty good and my guess is they may be sympathetic to a slightly lapsed warranty. I also had a bit of warranty work done by Browning on a out of date warranty, they even paid for collection and return! Top blokes there as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrol Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 I'd send it back to the importers and get it fixed properly with a new part and ask at the time if the part is available in steel rather than plastic. If you don't ask you don't get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jam1e Posted July 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 I've decided to go with malkiserow's advice at this point. Thanks Malk! Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
