    CZ 527 Mauser Feed Issues.

    Hey team.

    Just wondering if any of you guys have had and resolved feed issues on a cz 527.

    I'm having it bind up on my 223. I've polished the mag but still seems to play up. It can very an accurate rifle but to much of a pig to use to take hunting.

    I know this is a pretty common thing so I'm wondering how some of you guys have overcome it.

    Cheers,

    Treat it like a baby. Hand feed and make the first count.

    I have a 308 that feeds like a charm. Once I'm a better hunter I'll hopefully have the 223 dialed.

    But the mauser action doesn't really like being hand fed either. It'll do it but it's noisy.

    Hmmm , I've had a few of these and never an issue. The one I have now is a 6.8 SPC running in 7.62x39 mags and it's flawless with both mags, one of which is pretty beaten up. CZ have a weird habit of putting the mag springs in backwards on thier 22s, maybe they have taken a further step and started it with 527s. Have you tried it with another mag?

    Where is it binding in the cycle I.e. right at the start or at half feed etc.?

    now things to try - try loading with one less round in mag or even two less - and see if you can google an image of the mag parts to see if indeed there is a part put in back woods

    I have the same issue with my .222. Works with one less round in the mag from experience, tried opening the magazine feed lips but not too much change.

    I have been trying to cycle with 3 rounds, not 5 and it still struggles.

    There is a guy who modified the spring clip on YouTube and he's the only guy who I've seen do that so I am a bit dubious.

    Alternatively, could the rim of the case be too thick?

    I'll get it out and see what I can find out.

    I think it struggle at the mid point of feeding a round.

    I had a quick look on google and its not a new problem sadly - one recommendation was to cycle cases repeatedly and watch for wear - may get to see if there is a tight spot - some indication problem can go with use - good luck and ohh how new warranty ???

    I know that the dud rounds u was cycling through have scratches running the length of the case. This would indicate its catching on the mag?

    My 222 did bind also, so I polished the living bejesus on the top lips of the mag. The mag metal seemed to be stamped with raw edges during manufacture with no or very little finishing. This did improve it but 600 odd rounds later if you don’t close the bolt like you mean it, you can still feel it grip. The thing that really got up my hooter was how it used to bind when charging the magazine. The binding combined with the strong spring was a pain in the arse. All good now, not perfect but got technique sorted.

    Had an absolute beast of a time with a Savage 223. See Savage model 10 input. Happy to have a look for a second opinion. PM me

    The 223 I had liked to be run hard. If you babied the bolt then it would bind up a bit. Mags were fine.
