Help with disassembly/assembly of CZ 75B .40SW

Luke · 04-04-2008, 12:17 PM

I just purchased a CZ 75B .40SW and I am having some trouble with disassembly and assembly. The recoil guide rod is difficult to get off as it does not give much to get it way from the metal piece on the barrell that it rests agaist when assembled. It is even more difficult to get it back on. It is very hard to get the guide rod to go through the hole on the front of the slide when the barrel is in place because it is at an angle when trying to insert it back in because of the barrel being in the way. I hope this isn't too confusing as I am new to guns and am not sure of all the terminology Am I doing something wrong?? Or is the gun just made to a very find tolerance and it takes a little work to get it back together. Thanks for the help!

Yes, they are a bit of trouble the first few times because they are very tight and the guide rod is hard to push when under spring tension. Just takes a bit of practice. Maybe you should take it to the shop you bought it at and have them show you how they would do the assembly/dissasembly .
