I have the above 223 CZ 527 Carbine and am having trouble seating a Lucas Bore Guide. I have placed a drop of gun oil on the O ring to soften it up but the bore guide still will not seat. I am using medium pressure and turning the bore guide to the right when I try to seat it. The bore guide is clearly labeled as 223 CZ 527 but makes no mention of the model which in this case is s Carbine. Any help will be appreciated.

Bore guides are really only to keep cleaning solvents and oils out of the action and trigger. If you are using a proper cleaning rod, patch holder/jag, or brush all the materials will be much softer than your chamber and not damage it. As long as you are getting things lined up it doesn't need to be seated all the way.
 
taylorce1 thanks for your comment. I should also mention that I have yet to fire a round through the rifle. I don't know if putting a few rounds through will help the seating or not. Anyway it's good to know that full seating is not 100% necessary as long as I can keep everything lined up.
