Bought used CZ 527 7.62 and stock started to crack...

I’m still learning about all this but… how could a stock with a gap like that possibly crack at the tang? There’s no contact
ensure your action screws are snug to the appropriate torque weight (can't remember off hand the number) I have thousands of rounds through my Walnut stock version and it is still perfect aside from the bolt breaking in to be very smooth. If the action is not tight (a common issue when new) then movement will occur and crack your stock.

That's the point, it won't. CZ put a more generous gap in the late 2019 and 2020 models.

the same thing happened to me. I contacted CZ and they sent me a new stock no problem. It happens a lot on this model!

Their last synthetic
I bought both the 7.62 and 223 models.... in synthetic...I don't think I would ever want anything else as a bush or drive gun where ranges are ~100meter +/-50 for Deer or smaller. They weigh so little they are practically a toy, your orange coat is possibly heavier. Still compared to the pretty wood stock it is much easier psychologically to bump the synthetic model pulling up to a tree stand on a rope as well. I looked up the CZ website and am very sad to see the 527 is now a discontinued model. glad I have 3, they are amazing little rifles.
I got one locally from Tesro, good guy to deal with around here.
Same model, night sky 223, came with the 3 round semi flush mag, synthetic stock is decent, muzzle brake I will be taking off, may even chop it to 18.5" like the carbine models.
Such light handly guns with great triggers shame they are discontinued...
update: I beded the front recoil lug with JB Weld, loctite the screws, put on a Bushnell 1.5-4.5X scope, which looks really nice btw, went to the range shot about 100 rds no more crack and the rifle holds true through out the time
thanks for your help and I am pretty happy with the result.

What kind of groups did you get out of this rifle?
Anyone try stripping the finish off their 527 Carbine, the ones that have cracking issues? I slathered Citristrip on mine, wrapped it up in saran wrap to keep it moist, and left it for a couple hours, much longer than recommended. Didn't touch the finish. Anyone got a chemical recommendation?
