Just got a new to me CZ83 in .380 dated 1989. I picked up a Wolff spring kit to rehab it. I'm having a few (what I hope are) minor issues. 1. The slide stop spring just fell out. It appears to be a paper clip with a small kink in it. I can't figure out how to install it. This spring loops around the pin that the trigger guard latches onto (either a roll pin or solid pin depending on age). This spring design is typically a sickle shape on the older guns. It may have gotten out of alignment and crushed by the trigger guard due to improper installtion, so it might be bent out of proper shape. Can you share a picture of the spring, as well as a picture of the type of trigger guard pin your gun has? That will determine installation method. 2. The rounds are nosediving in the magazine. It caused quite a few failures on range day. They were bought as new mags Are they marked "CZ-Mfg" on the floor plate? If so, these are knockoffs with known reliability issues. 3. The magazine release is VERY hard to push down. I don't know if my CZ75 has me spoiled but this literally hurts my thumb and takes 2 hands to release. I would recommend pulling out the trigger guard and removing the magazine catch parts, and giving them a good clean/light lubrication before reinstalling. The CZ 83 mag catch is not real well designed and will never be that smooth, however. I like the gun otherwise and I suppose I shouldn't complain for $250 |

What type of ammo? I had a similar problem with them feeding properly. Turned out the bullet was too "pointy"
