The CZ 527 has a rear receiver, inherent design weakness, in rifles chambered in 7.62x39.
It is reported on social media, that the squared-off, top rear receiver of the 527, will eventually cause a crack in the wood stock near that top, rear receiver area.
So I keep an eye on the stock of my CZ 527, chambered in 7.62x39; and around the 800 round mark, it developed a quarter inch long crack in the stock, in the top, left rear receiver area of the rifle.
I sent the rifle back to the U.S. distributor of CZ...and they replaced the stock on my rifle, promptly --- Plus...they slicked-up the Mauser action, so the bolt runs smoothly.
