where do i get a stronger spring for my cz550

i have a 416 rigby that has a soft mag spring. so soft that it won't feed the last round reliably on a 4 round load.

I think it just needs a newe drop in spring, where do i get one on the internet? cheers, tm

Contact CZ. They have a great parts department, and will take a credit card over the phone.

TM,

If you can't get a spring you might try asking a gunsmith to bend and/or re-harden the one you have. I have had this done in the past and it works well.

FYI, Brownells would be the place I would look for a new one. They have a website...

I have been told that the stronger 10% stronger spring Brownells sells for a Mauser will work in a CZ. I have never tried it yet though.

I have used both military Mauser springs and Dakota 76 African springs and followers.

use a Mauser spring from Brownells, or take one out of an old mauser.
