No issues with my Remington 799 which is a Zastava M85 barreled action in a Remington laminate stock -

Damn the grain on that stock looks amazing...nice to hear yours shoots well too. Are you using surplus ammo with it? I'm too cheap to pick up some of the Hornady SST 7.62x39 to see how it works.


And thanks CanAm, I appreciate it!
 
I used to have one absolutely no lite strike with surplus ammo. only issue with surplus action was bit stiff but it did not bother me too much
 
Where are the rifles from that are seeing issues?

I have read that ones from the European market were upgraded to shoot steel cased surplus ammo long ago (extractor and firing pin) Those from the USA where import bans have prevented a lot of the steel cased surplus ammo from being available never saw such an upgrade

I'm not sure where mine is from, other than the Serbia marking on it. Maybe I will try emailing Zastava and see what they say
 
Springs are now in stock. Anyone else around Oshawa area want to share shipping on the springs. Price for springs is $9.95 and flat rate shipping of $25.
Scott.....
 
Haven't had a chance to order mine yet, just wondering if anyone that has ordered theirs has installed them yet. Have they fixed your light strikes?

I received my spring, haven't installed it yet. Because I can't get the bolt apart!! The locking set screw is half broken off, so off to the gunsmith it goes.........................

That sucks :(

Was at the range with my M85 today and I guess I had good luck...only 4-5 light strikes out of ~30 rounds
 
Still wondering how this has turned out for others. My spring is in the mail and should be here this coming week.
