| I have a CZ-82 that I just had duracoated and while it was apart, my gunsmith put new springs in. It's been probably a year since I shot this and when I took it to the range today and put a magazine through it, slide locked back, reloaded, pulled the slide back, release...nothing happened. I had to physically push the slide stop down so that the slide would cycle forward. After looking at it, there is no downward pressure when there is a loaded magazine inserted or even when there is no magazine at all in the mag well. Is there a spring that didn't get replaced or is that how the CZ-82 is made and I just never noticed? |

Yes it has a spring. Here is a diagram and instructions that show it: http://leolani.net/relics/cz82.html What could also be a problem is that the Duracoat on the frame is hanging it up/rubbing. |
If you decide that you need a new spring, I suggest you email Norm. He used to sell them for a couple of bucks. Thread that talks about it http://www.surplusrifleforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=65&t=46336 I actually posted in this thread (bcs12345) I put one of his springs in a CZ82 years ago ago. |
