No way my friend! No take-backsies :). Appreciate you offering though, you are a stand up guy!
Then you should also take me up on the gun smith. You do not need it failing to extract when it fires. I will 100% pay if it is a problem I should have caught!!
 
Do you just want to sell it back to me?? I can say I never had any issue with it. Not one failure, but if you are having these kind of issues, maybe just sell it back to me or take it to a qualified gunsmith. If it was an issue I passed on I'll pay for the repairs, if it is an issue you caused you pay for the repairs. Sounds good?
I put in a Alan wrench into the pin hole and everything worked flawlessly, so I need to fab up a pin and it should be good to go.

Ill make a short vid of whats going on so if you ever encounter an issue with your projects you know what to do
 
There is no pin in that hole! Please just take it to a gunsmith. I'll pay for it regardless of who's fault it is.

I really enjoy DIY projects, but i wanna get some feed ramp work done which is outside my comfort zone so ill be sure to have them look at my handy work.

You ever do feed ramp work on your projects?

Thank you both for being civilized and dignified in your dealings; I find that aside from the politics forum most members act admirably, but still we have seen examples to the contrary.

As for the issue, if a pin or spring is missing a schematic of the action would be the best starting point.
 
Call Duane, and pay the $25 for his pamphlet.

Well, I can honestly say I have been guilty of poor behavior in the past, but he really is just looking for an excellent performing firearm. I fully support that. That said your schematic idea is solid.

How about this. Can you shoot it, or cycle the action what ever is causing the malfunction. Then take a picture of what the issues is.

Yep! Part 45 from the diagram is what is missing (pretty sure). Here are a couple vids showing the issue and my idea for fixing - sorry for my voice sick as he'll right now.

100% - no reason to be shitty. Buying stuff online comes with a certain degree of uncertainty. Would rather give people the benefit of the doubt. Ray has been nothing but an absolute gem through out my buying and tinkering journey
 
SO, I WOULD FEEL MUCH BETTER ABOUT THE SITUATION, IF YOU TOOK IT TO A GUNSMITH. I PROMISE, I will pay regardless of fault. Just drop it off and call me and I will give them my credit card. If there is a mechanical is of that nature that is not on you. You will be vindicated in your troubleshooting if this is the problem. But I would feel better to see this resolved. Ray H

Ill call Duane, headed to the seattle area for work next week so maybe i can get that to work out.
 
Duane doesnt seem to be in business anymore, not surprised WA laws are tough on any business related to firearms. Any other recommendations on gun smiths for cz550s. I sent a couple of emails out but no one responded.

Matrix in Colorado is likely the best for CZ 550s

Jerome, do you think my last post in rough camping must maybe shift as an article?

Good afternoon,

I'm trying to get in contact with Mr Butch Searcy. I have the opportunity to buy one of his rifles chambered in 577 nitro Express however the seller does not have any of the paperwork with the information about what ammunition or bullet weight was used to regulate it. I know he is not making firearms anymore but I wanted to reach out after seeing one of your post about him.

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl
