CZ 550 - 416 Rigby
#19838 - 20/10/04 12:40 AM

I just purchased a CZ 550 in 416 Rigby. It has very nice wood and excellent balance. However, it has a bit of roughness in the action. The rails seem a bit rough to me as I work the bolt. Is this common or will it go away with the cycling of a good number of rounds through it? I plan to shoot it extensively this weekend so I should have a report by next monday. Anyone have similar problems with the CZ 550's?

Regards
Trex

CZ-USA is trying to get the factory to smooth these things up a bit, but most all that I have seen are pretty stiff and may have a high spot in the rear part of the receiver.

You can send it off to a smith to loosen/polish it up or do it yourself. I dinked around with the last one like that until I got the rough spots out and cycled the bolt a few hundred times with Flitz smeared all over the bolt. It helped but still binds a little if I try to make it bind. Needs a bit more work.

No, this is a common problem.

I wondered about a similar situation with a shotgun I bought brand new for some years ago. It is a Sauer&Sohn that was built in former East Germany, hand made actually, yet rather cheap. I took it to a gunsmith because the gun was rather hard to break open, so I asked the gunsmith to polish it. Instead he advised me to live with the situation for some time, and if I would, he promised me that the gun would be just fine in a while. And he was right, today the gun is tighter and smoother than any other shotgun I've laid my hands on.
