Hi Everyone,
I was our with my CZ 527 Carbine chambered in 7.62x39mm and was having some issues with light primer strikes.
I was shooting cheap brass cased Herters Green box Ammunition from Bass Pro. The rounds would fire on the 3rd primer strike. I have never had this issue in my 5 years of owning this rifle. I've used Federal, Prvi Partizan and Even Norinco non-corrosive ammunition and never experienced light primer strikes until now.
I took apart the bolt and everything seemed clean and there was no abnormal wear on any of the parts.
Has anyone else had this issue?
What is the solution?
I read about people using aftermarket Springs to upgrade the weak original CZ spring.
A company called JP Spring in Oregon makes replacement springs, however I think they are unlikely to ship to Canada. I have emailed them and will find out soon.
Any Ideas or suggestions?
