Stocks and triggers

[CoElkHunter]

I replaced the factory stocks on my CZ Lott (top) and CZ .375 with Bell and Carlson stocks. I also replaced the factory trigger on the Lott with a Timney as it had a little creep. I left it at the 3lb factory setting per Timney. But after I replaced it, I figured out how to take the creep out of the factory trigger by adjusting the long screw at the top front of the trigger. I left the factory trigger on the .375. I had never replaced a stock or trigger before on a rifle and even the trigger was easy by following Timney’s instructions that came with the trigger. Now to replace the front sights with a NECG white bead insert. That’s it for my amateur gunsmithing adventure. Carry on.

Don't forget to slam test those rifles after changing triggers/settings. Cock the rifle on an empty chamber safety disengaged. Then thump the butt hard on a concrete floor. It should not fire.

I took your advice and just tried it. Neither fired. Thanks! However, I was just reading where the Timney will block the trigger sear from firing when the safety is engaged where the factory one won’t. I’ll probably replace the other trigger soon.

I'm not familiar with CZ factory setup except that it's CRF. Does it have striker safety (on bolt shroud) or trigger block slide safety on side of receiver? Oh ... looking at the photos it appears to be integral to receiver/bolt, not the trigger assembly.
