CZ 82 slide locking

Pronsias · 07-01-2008, 12:39 AM

My CZ vz. 82 works great except for one small problem. Randomly the slide catch will engage and lock the slide back when I still have rounds left in the magazine. The next round will chamber correctly and all I have to do is hit the slide release to fire the next round, yet this is quite annoying. What part might be causing this?

Next time I take it out I will buy a new box of 9x18 and see if it has something to do with the brand I was using. Has anyone had any problems with Wolf MC steel case? Thanks.

I've got a CZ 82 and mine hasn't done that. I wish I could help you, but I can't.

I'll try my best to keep your Tread a live where maybe someone will come along that can help you.
Maybe it's a weak spring... DON'T GO ANY WHERE I'LL BE RIGHT BACK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
to post a break down...A.H

HERE YOU GO. DO THIS and see if you can find the problem !

Well Pooky the pictures didn't show up ! Click on ArkansasHunter and then click on the Threads I've started.
I think on the second page you'll find how to take down a CZ 82.

It will be the same read above BUT with PICTURES, may be some funk needs to be cleaned out around the area of the slide lock.
Atleast you'll be able to see in there.
Good Luck and let me know something...A.H

Oh, I've done that at least 3 times, 2 times after shooting and once to remove light cosmoline. Thanks for the suggestion though; it could be a spring for all I know. I know the CZ 52 has a weak firing pin but I think they fixed those problems after 30 years.
