A local gunsmith is fixing mine, by welding onto the lugs I think? I can't remember, but wolfgang from wolverine supplies agreed with his actions.

I assume you had bad headspace as well. Dlask said they can install a new barrel, for a little under the price of a new cz858

thats better info than i had , i checked a few places and they said nothing could be done,probally just figured no one would want to pay , considering i paid 699 for it....its a bloody shame the original seller never answered any of my emails , or inquiries especially once it was confirmed their was a issue .30 day warranty or not . Fool me once....for they have never got another penny(and i spend a lot of them) from me. And most likely will not in the future . In the mean time i am stuck with a 700 $ rifle thats only good for skull smashing....and thats frowned upon. I will follow up on the info , very much appreciated.

This is what the gunsmith working on my rifle told me:

Your rifle has .021" over minimum headspace due to the action lugs. About the only good way to repair this is to buy a locking block from Wolfgang at Wolverine and tig weld it then grind it down to headspace. I confirmed the idea with Wolfgang that this was about the only thing to do in this case besides scrap the action. He sold me one for $12 so I got him to ship it.

Hopefully all goes well.
I didn't buy the rifle new, but as barreled receiver. Lucky for me I don't have much money invested.

I do not get this. 0.021 is 0.53 mm over minimum which is still within spec.
There is minimum and maximum HS. If it is in between it is ideal. If it is over maximum that is bad in my book.

Voodoo i will reply in a private message...i dont care to get into the a pissing match of exscuses and opinions on the dealer , as i also hear the issue is no longer a issue with the newer rifles.
Cheers,

Must of meant over maximum. Blows cartridges in two, not good.
