I have a CZ 527 in 7.62x39. The rifle has had a couple of trips to the gunmith to overcome a problem associated with failure to fire with civillian ammo, which I understand to be attributable to the manufacturer building the rifle to eastern block specs which differ from SAAMI specs for this round.
A stronger firing pin spring has lead to a marginal improvement, but I cannot live with frequent misfires.
I do not want to have the gun re-headspaced as I like the iron sights on this carbine and even if removed I do not want the dovetail sitting at an un natural angle.
Is anyone aware of any other 'fixes' that will enable this gun to work?
Alternatively, what should I rechamber the gun in? my thoughts are a PPC round or 6.8 SPC. Which would be the more viable as a conversion on this platform? what is involved? what other chamberings would you consider?.
If rechambering I would ideally like to be able to utilise as much of the original firearm as possible to keep costs down.
The gun is intended to be used on wild pig and deer.
