CZ-75 Kadet field test w/ assorted ammo
« on: January 21, 2002, 12:19:03 AM »
Andy, have you read the post that talked about stoning the sides of the .22 slide so it will slide easily in the frame?  If you modified the ejector as I had suggested and everything else was normal, you should have not experienced more than one or two FTE in 100 rounds and only with cheapo thundercrap ammo.  I am wondering if your slide is losing velocity due to a tight fit.  Unload your gun and take your recoil spring and guide rod out.  Then see how the slide feels as you move it back and fourth.  Maybe there is a rough spot in the cycle.  Resistance from the spring loaded hammer is normal but other sticking points are not.  Knocking a few high spots off the kadet slide rails that run in the frame may be all you need to finish fixing your kadet.  Good luck, mapdude

Do you have the new style kadet firing pin installed?

I will try stoning the slide. I oringinally did a REALLY sorry job of this.
           
            As for the firing pin, I did not have one "hard primer" on the Kadet, so it's probably not the problem, unless I minusderstand.

WOW!!! That slide moves smoothly. I had done just enough grinding with a dremel to get it to move, but it was rough. It was harder to rack the slide on the .22 than on the 9mm. Now it slides easily.
           
            I'll range test it soon, and let you know.

Andy, get yourself a rectangular piece of steel, wrap it in 600 grit sandpaper and lock it in a vise.  Then, without marring the finish on the top of the slide just gently run the slide rails back and fourth over the sandpaper.  This will prevent you from getting lots of high and low spots like you will grinding with a dremmel by hand and leave a nice smooth finish on the slide rails.  The dremmel is best used with rubber polishing points to finish polishing surfaces such as barrel ramps.  However, if everything is working now you may not want to take any more mettle off the kadet slide.  Sounds like your slide to frame fit may have been the problem.  mapdude
