Took it out again today with the same Czech surplus ammo but this time i had issues unlike the first trip that went great :( Had some light primer strikes and had cases getting stuck in the chamber , Im guessing there was some built up lacquer in the chamber from the surplus ammo . My TT33 will run this ammo all day probably cause it has a looser chamber ? I will clean out the chamber and maybe give it a polish too and see how that works but i dont see any point to this pistol unless it can handle cheap surplus ammo , TT33s can so why not this?

I have to agree with your trip, I am having nothing but problems with mine, Magazines that can't feed a round in straight, light strikes on nearly every round, cases getting seized in the chamber, needing to be pounded out. Not really happy with mine. Sent the magazines back due to their issues. Will be selling it as soon as I get the mags back. My TT-33 has never had a single one of these issues.

Not much point of buying this if it doesn't like surplus ammo. Please post if you resolve this issue. I'm on the fence weather to buy or not...

Official word is they were designed for Norinco ammo, so if you thinking of cheap surplus shooting. Nope. Our own fault for using the already plentiful surplus with their hard primers. I was told they are talking about getting stronger hammer springs, but who knows when they will arrive. If ever. I will still have the issues of cases needing to be "tapped" out of the chambers, and the double stack magazines tilting (which are out for RMA) .
 
did you guys clean out the packing oil? I remember when we first brought in the Cougar shotguns and the complaints started to roll in right around the time the weather got cold. Just a thought.

Also, this is the first run of these. I have noticed several changes in the design/process even in this first run.

Yes mine was fully cleaned and then lubed with quality gun oil , I get that stinky commie oil off right away, the first 250 rounds were flawless then i think the hammer spring broke in and lightened up a bit and chamber got dirty then started getting the light strikes and stuck cases .. The 2 issues i see with my pistol is it needs a heavier hammer spring to light off those surplus primers , but this with make the DA even heavier too , no getting around that i dont think? And the extraction needs to be much better by maybe changing the chamber a bit, or more tension on the extractor spring , the extractor will slip off the rim of the case pretty easy compared to a TT extractor that will just rip a chunk right off the case rim if stuck . Weird thing is my TT33 hammer spring seems to have much less tension then the P762 but it lights off the primers every time? Wonder if theres a way to make that firing pin hit harder without a heavier hammer spring that will make the DA worse ..

Also cleaned mine quite well, not the full steaming I do with Cosmoline, but well enough. The hammer-spring and extractor, seem to be the weak-points.
 
well got mine in the mail today. after stripping it and getting the grease out I lubed her up with balistol, got out 200 surplus CZ and headed to the range gotta say I pretty happy 200 down the pipe without a single prob.


first target at 25 yards pretty gritty trig and getting the feel for it. not to proud of that one. drifted the site to move it to the right, and continued to shoot. things smoothed up considerably and I got the feel for it.



this is the last 10 first one allways goes high it seems. called flyer to the left, the rest aren't to bad. all in al color me very happy, so happy im just going to order another. thanks guys cant wait to get 4-6 more mags

now we just need a small carbine ether semi or bolt action that take those mags and we would really have some kinda good combo

Took mine out today and shot the non corrosive norinco ammo I bought from canam and some surplus I bought from a cgn member. Both fired flawlessly, I shot 30 Norc and 100 surplus. The Norc primers are a lot softer then the surplus ammo big difference in the primer strikes, but like I said I had no issues. Impressed with the gun and even happier that it shoots cheap ammo
 
Mine didnt like the czech surplus at all....my surplus ammo was made in 1951 and out of 40 rounds I had lots of FTFs and 6-7 hang fires.

 
I am really likeing this pistol had it out for about 300 today again. I really need a set of adjustable site. what is going to fit ill have to look into

I have a feeling these were built originally for Pakistan and some tribesman has all the mags. Probably taped them too.

LOL does this "tribesman" live in a hut and eat people too?? I feel the need to put on sunglasses to counteract the glow of red coming off your neck...:p
 
Had bad luck with the surplus as well - lots of FTFs due to light strikes, many would go off with a second trigger pull. Had a few rounds become stuck in the chamber after firing. Had a look at the chamber and it didn't seem particularly rough. I'll have to try it with some Norc copperwash if I can find it or perhaps I will try polishing the chamber with some Autosol.

As others have mentioned, not being able to use surplus out of the box is kind of a pain in the ass. Could it be that the primers on this surplus stuff were meant for SMGs?
