Frogmouth, The problem is not the incorrect reaming of the barrels. Winchester Australia (agents for CZ in Australia) stopped marketing the little CZ in 7.62x39 here because the carbine apparently has been built to eastern block specs for the round and not SAAMI specs. Apparently SAAMI chose to deviate from the Russian measurements when developing their specs.

This is not a problem in a semi auto that has a sloppy chamber anyway, but is a big problem in a bolt action.

The remedy your gunsmith suggested would work because it would alter the headspace. I take it you have removed the factory sights- I am in a quandry about what to do about mine as I rather like the factory sights.
