Shootaway, Perhaps there is nothing wrong with your spring. Perhaps the nut has backed off. This has been known to happen to CZs in the past. | |||

Shootaway Just remember that you said that there is no difference between the CZ and the high dollar magnum actions as a foundation for a DG rifle.  Jason "You're not hard-core, unless you live hard-core." _______________________ Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt. Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure. -Jason Brown | |||

Strip your bolt and remove any heavy grease. Then try it again. Perhaps the cold is causing the grease to thicken and inhibit the firing pin travel. George  | |||

Thanks ScottS,I'll take the bolt apart and have a look at it.I had a similar problem with a Remington factory spring untill I replaced it myself with a Wolff spring.I never had that problem again. | |||

George,I never use grease on my firing pin mechanism.I noticed the inconsistancies of the firing pin strike,long ago, while dry firing practice and hoped it will go away. | |||

Sounds like there might be a rough spot/burr in the bolt interior, on the firing pin assembly, bolt shroud, cocking piece etc or combination of these things. Perhaps a bit of housekeepng with a fine file,emery paper &/or stone might be in order. Steve | |||

"C-Clip" or the double-nut firing pin spring retainer? Try not to drool on it while field stripping, and you might want to raise the visor on your shooting helmet while taking a closer look.  | |||

I took it apart and noticed rust in the bolt sleeve.I worked a copper brush and steel wool then cleaned it out.There seems to be a big improvement.I noticed the problem after I got the new trigger installed.It was a year before I got my rifle back and the gunsmith may have stored it in humid plce. | |||
