Check magazine lips and feedramp

My cz-75 PCR started to have problems after a few hundred rounds. I polished up the feedramp with 0000 steel wool, and also polished up the magazine lips and it seemed to return it to normal.
The feedramp isn't as polished as you could hope for, and may have accumulated gunk that didn't clean out. The CZ magazines are also a common source of complaints.

I HAD a CZ85 (the jam-o-matic). It would jam 2 to 3 times per mag. I had the feed ramp polished, swapped out the slide stop spring and had CZ change my mag followers. It still jammed to the day I got rid of it. It's an extremely accurate gun, but in my opinion its not worth a damn if it keeps jamming. Good luck.

Did you clean you mags? If so did you install the spring backwards or not fully seated on the follower? I traced a number of feed problems to that, but you get a warning sound if when you load your mag the rounds make a rattle noise that a tap wont fix.

CZ's and feeding problems happen sometimes. I have heard and seen alot of different reasons for this. How is it not feeding...does it stop the slide before the round is out of the mag...does it stop when the bullet hits the feed ramp? Does it happen with "hotter" 9mm rounds ? Or just target type ammo...win white and fed..etc? Do the rounds nose dive in the mag and hang up? What is happening.........................

CZ mags rattle alittle...and really doesnt have to mean anything...I have hi caps and clinton mags for my 83 and Compact and all rattle...even when full. They are assembled correctly and have Wolff springs..still rattle.

Sorry to hear about your 85 being a bad one...they really are nice guns..unfortunately some are problem children, I have ran ito a couple of those from time to time.

Shoot well

My CZ75 is ammo sensitive.

With the W/W white box 115 HP's, or Fiocchi 115's in either HP or FMJ it's 100%. With Federal 9BP's, or Triton +P 115 Hp's, or with Samson 115 fmj it will occasionally fail to fully return to battery.
 
My cz military 75b would once in awhile wouldn't return all the way to battery. This would happen mainly if I didn't clean my cz often enough. The stock recoil spring is 14lbs. so I changed it for a 16lb. and no more problems. Mark
