Wait, wut? Ok, it was fun to disassemble, but the reassembly made me drink cheap scotch. My recently acquired CZ527 in 7.62x39 base trigger had some takeup woes. Yep those nasty little catches and grit that ruin a trigger, and if you have smooth trigger fetishes, well, there's a problem. Anyway, it obvious the sear surfaces needed flattening and polishing. Took it apart and sure enough, nicks on the faces. Out came the 400/600/2000 grit papers, some plate glass for a flat surface, the Dremel and polishing wheels and compound. Work work work, polish until mirror like, and reassemble. It's that reassemble thing that took on a whole new meaning. Those that have done this know what I'm talking about with that tiny trigger return spring and the need to assemble everything together, and not in separate steps.
And what's with that trigger and lever pin? The pin is oversized, so you can't do a fitment test, 'cause it won't go in the trigger, nor lever holes. What! It' not even a split pin, and hard to tell if it's a roll pin. Anyway, I chamfered the edges to be able to start the pin. I'm very curious how the factory does it. So between getting that tiny trigger spring aligned in the housing pocket and aligning the pieces to get the pin installed while holding the larger lever spring in place and hoping Jupiter aligns with Mars, Bam! The pin went home and it was all back together again. Phew!
So anyway, the trigger is now super amazing. Not a hint of grit and breaks like glass. I set the main trigger to just under 3 lbs and the "set" trigger to just under 1lb. Scary light, but should be great for target shooting. I've never had a CZ rifle before, and I'm pretty impressed with the quality. Gorgeous rifle! Still waiting on the Leupold to arrive then will head to the range next weekend.
I'd like to hear your experience if you've disassembled one of these triggers.
