CZ 527 .204 ammo feeding problem

tennsooner · February 6, 2006, 08:25 PM

A friend of mine bought this rifle last Friday and while shooting it we found that there was a problem with the ammo feeding after the first shot. We had to take our finger and move the cartridge foreward to get it to feed properly. Has anyone else experienced this and if so what was the cure?
It is one tack driving jewel so he isn't interested it taking it back to the store where he purchased it for an exchange. Any suggestions or is this a gunsmith situation????? Thanks,Jay

The 527 model sometimes has this problem, 2 cures I have found is to put a mag in then loosen the action screws and reset the action in the stock, if this doesn't help then it is most likely the mag, you can play with it ( angle of follower, mag ears) or try another mag.

Hope this helps.
