Hey all, i think i got a good question for you guys.

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this sort of question, but here is my story anyways.

I have a CZ 858 non restricted rifle that has more or less, deceased.

I've only shot the thing about a handful of times, and the pin that holds the trigger mechanism in place (that nub that sits right next to the safety) has essentially popped out of the gun and refuses to stay inside. i've tried even putting JB Weld adhesive on the pin in hopes that it will keep the pin in place, and it works for a couple of shots, but then it just pops out again. Now im going to see a smith about it hopefully tommorow, but to be honest i can't see what a smith can possibly do that i haven't tried already. I wish i had pics to show you guys what i'm talking about but unfortunately i don't have access to a camera right now. :(

Now heres the question:

In the event that the smith is unable to do anything to fix the rifle, what do you do with a broken gun? how do you dispose of a broken gun that you don't want anymore? Is there some kind of procedure or number i can call that can safely and legally take the thing off my hands?

Thanks again guys.
 
i'll take it


that said i bet the tab that holds the trigger/action pins in place is not locked in properly

all the info you need about the trigger group can be found in the faq at the top of the red rifle section
 
Give it to the needy LOL well you can prolly take it to a gun shop and have them take it off your hands for parts or something like that or you can take it one of those cameras for guns programs that the cops put on every now and then.


I would keep researching and try to find some way to fix it but thats just me.


Good luck!
 
This has been discussed before, but here is what I would do. If it is not fixable which I doubt everything can be repaired then sell it as a parts gun complete or part it out. Sell everything except the receiver. Cut up the receiver and call the CFO and report it destroyed, just make sure it really is destroyed, it's your neck. There is nothing to it, everything is in the regulations.

sure looks like it, my buddy has the exact same rifle and his is just fine and works perfectly, i get the feeling that what i bought just happened to be a defective rifle :(

open up the action and take a look to be sure. it's a flat pice of steel on the safety side of the reciever it fits into notches on the trigger group pins, it is what keeps them from sliding out sideways

it may just not be seated all the way. push on the tab that is on it to see
 
Strip the firearm completely and sell all serviceable parts except the receiver. Then turn the receiver over to your local police for disposal and get them to give you a receipt for the receiver before you leave the station. Then report it to the CFC.
