Watchman -

Since the safety on the FAB is different from the CZ, I'm afraid that the instructions I have for a trigger job on a CZ would not apply here so I won't take up space with them.

However, the main problem I see on these guns (both the CZ and the various Tanfoglio clones) is that the hammer notch is cut too deep, and the sear angles are wrong.

The hammer notch can be cut down to .15 on a CZ and it will still be safe. The sear angles often cause the hammer to move backward when pulling the trigger from the full-cock position (i.e., the hammer is cammed back). Resetting sear angles takes a couple tools you probably don't have, but most importantly it takes a practiced hand to to this without making the gun unsafe.

The good news is that this is a fairly common job and most 'smiths I know do several a year, and it's no big deal.

The quick, cheap thing to do is clean the sears and hammer notch very carefully and apply one of the new hi-tech greases, such as Militech or Tetra-Gun. That will help.
