Problem with cz 858

[danv]

Yesterday went out to the range with a few buddies. Brought the sks and 858. After we were pretty much though the case of 800 surplus 7.62x39 I noticed the bolt carrier was cracked and had hole in it on the 858. Anyone have similar problems? I'll give epps a call today as that's were I bough it.

That sucks. I've never seen that before.

Ya I know, the gun only had 100-150 rounds though it before yesterday. I tried searching it but I couldn't find anything.

Never seen something like that.

Looks like the return spring hole was drilled off center. There's a lot of force at the front end of the carrier.. I'd be worried about its integrity... swap out the carrier and it'll be fine. Should be a easy warranty issue.

Just off the phone with epps. They said just ship them in the bolt carrier for warranty. First time I've dealt with them, so far so good.

I have a spare if you need it.
