Cz feeding problem

Ok here is what I'm going to do. I cut masking tape 4 layers for .016 to the size of the problem area. Put it back into the rifle. I cycled 50 rounds trough it trying to make it malfuntion. All 50 rounds cycled perfectly.
So I am going to sacrifice one of my feeler gauge blades and shape it to the shape of the blue tape. Then I am going to silver braze it in place and polish it up. I feel this will work.

Yeah, that should work. Unless feeler gauge has plastic blades. And yes I remember when some had plastic blades. For setting points in distributor if I recall correctly. Now I'm dating myself. Must be real old if I remember distributors with points. Aluminum blades might not work well, though I don't remember any made of that material. Some were brass but those would mow be antiques I would think. Good luck and let us know how it works out.

When Dennis Olson put the barrel on my 404 project, I still had rails, follower, and ramp to finish up. He gave some good tips on the process. Last step is modifying the follower. He told me he had clients who bitched about the misshapen appearance of tuned follower. "Whatta ya want? Pretty follower or gun that cycles properly?" Who looks inside the action at the follower? Most of the time the follower is covered with cartridges anyway.

Steel gauges. I remember distributors and points seem I was always adjusting them. Pretty sure plastic would melt before solder flowed. When I get it done I will post pictures.

I was making a joke about plastic feeler blades. Good on you thinking outside the box.
