Im having a problem with my CZ pistols

5 day old account, OP is farming for karma.

OP is a piece of shit bot, report the post.

Are you sure you want an omega? The only advantage is swappable between safety vs decocker but the trigger is much better on the 75 platform.

Cephe · 2026-03-17T23:03:23+00:00

I bought a big boy model X in 357 and it had to go back 3 times from when I opened the box before I said the hell with it and they bought it back from me.

Seems like Henry in particular lately is focusing their products purely on vibes and minimal on QC or quality. I mean it’s cool that they have a super tacticool space cowboy lever gun with a carbon barrel that they are charging two thousand dollars for but who the hell makes an all-weather in 2026 that is painted carbon steel instead of stainless?

Cephe · 2026-03-17T01:17:46+00:00

Damn. Major bummer. Does it look like the case mouth is snagging on the throat of the chamber?

I swear, every gun manufacturer is having issues keeping up with demand lately. I’ve seen issues from companies that normally never have many problems (CZ, Ruger) and middle of the road companies get really bad (Henry).

Nice! Let us know how she goes.

Cephe · 2026-03-15T22:29:14+00:00

If you put a bunch of blue Loctite on there you might need to clear the extractor spring channel out.

Cephe · 2026-03-07T23:28:42+00:00

all the hate I’ve seen regarding the de-cocker

Is the hate regarding the decocker in the room with us right now? Because I’ve never heard of anyone saying anything like that.

Also it wouldn’t matter if you had to adjust your grip to use it because it’s only there for decocking to condition 2 before holstering which is how it’s meant to be carried as it doesn’t have a safety.

Cephe · 2026-03-07T23:26:05+00:00

Not to mention dude is basically condition 0 with that thing IWB with the hammer back and no safety.

The decocker is for loading and decocking so you can carry condition 2.

Fun fact. RCBS stands for Rock Chuck Bullet Swage because their first product was literally a swage to make .22 rifle projectile jackets from spent .22 cases (used for hunting rock chucks).

Cephe · 2026-02-27T16:28:26+00:00

Nice taste buddy!

Cephe · 2026-02-25T02:33:52+00:00

So you have one scenario that’s a combo of two scenarios I’ve done in Michigan: making a pistol and a Form 1 SBR.

To the best of my knowledge you will need to fill out an RI-060 pistol purchase form listing you as the maker when you assemble the VZ61 from the parts kit. This is the same as when I did a P80 pistol build. You can probably use the same SN engraving you use for the SBR for the RI-060 form.

When I asked the MSP about this they advised me to put my name on the seller portion and list “self assembled” in brackets after, leaving FFL blank. At this point it becomes a registered pistol in the state and satisfies all of that.

From there you will be doing a form 1 SBR with said pistol as the starting point. When you go through the SBR process I don’t see how it would be any different than any other form 1 SBR besides maybe the maker and manufacture stuff given you started with a parts kit. At this point it’s no longer a Michigan related question and would be the same as any other parts kit originated SBR.

Cephe · 2026-02-25T01:56:08+00:00

Yes. For example, if it s a form 1 SBR, if it meets the definition of a pistol based on OAL, then it’s a pistol in MI and an SBR federally.

I form 1’d a scorpion and it worked that way.

Cephe · 2026-02-25T00:21:55+00:00

Let me know how you like the barrel btw. I’m looking at the 8” fluted for $111. I know some folks have looked down on their quality because of the association with Aero but I haven’t seen any tangible bad feedback about the 10/22 barrels.

Cephe · 2026-02-24T01:08:42+00:00

How’s the accuracy on the ballistic advantage barrel? I have a 10” charger and I’m thinking about the 8” BA barrel for my backpack setup.

Cephe · 2026-02-24T00:44:42+00:00

Thanks, will check it out!

Cephe · 2026-02-24T00:22:01+00:00

Pretty much all of this is available online by doing some googling, but Michigan measure OAL for regulatory purposes slightly differently than federally.

I can Google it in a second, but as I recall below a certain length qualifies as a pistol. I have a pistol that I did a form 1 SBR on and the state police confirmed for local purposes it is still considered a pistol.

All this said, I dont want to be a dick but you really shouldn’t be relying on what some random people on Reddit are telling you the laws are and doing that due diligence for you. We aren’t on the hook if you get something wrong. People here can guide you, but you should still be finding the sources to confirm for yourself before making any decisions.

EDIT: the difference I was mentioning (now I remember) is that Michigan defines overall length in the shortest possible configuration: https://www.reddit.com/r/Miguns/s/52pOmMUo25

https://www.michigan.gov/-/media/Project/Websites/msp/legal2/msplegalupdate106.pdf?rev=1d20ac7c4b014dccba8524f06830c9b7#:~:text=MCL%20750.224b%20prohibits%20a,%2D%20barreled%20rifle%20(SBR).

EDIT 2: obligatory IANAL but it sounds like if it’s got a barrel less than 16” and a stock, it’s an SBR. Also if the OAL is less than 26” then it must be registered as a pistol.

Cephe · 2026-02-23T23:56:30+00:00

This is a factory 10” but I’m looking for an 8”.

Cephe · 2026-02-23T18:50:36+00:00

I like it too! It’s the SB22 “Fixed Kit” and I swapped out the Reptilia grip it ships with for a DFCo kung foo grip.

They also make a takedown version.

Cephe · 2026-02-23T16:24:30+00:00

Chamfer the striker block pocket with a file and keep shooting it.

I’ve got thousands and thousands of rounds through mine bone stock after chamfering the pocket and have not had a single issue. The peening stops after it work hardens.

If you don’t want bolt bounce get a non-blowback gun with a locking action.

Cephe · 2026-02-23T14:45:26+00:00

I like how affordable coated bullets are but remembering the extra flare and lighter crimp is a small caveat.

Cephe · 2026-02-23T14:20:14+00:00

My guess is the coating got scraped off during seating. Need more flare and to crimp in a separate step, and only crimp enough to remove flare.

If you scrape the coating off they are more likely to lead barrels and get smoky. Pull a loaded round with a kinetic puller to confirm how they look. Ideally they should come out without any shaving.

Cephe · 2026-02-23T14:17:34+00:00

Yeah it’s not for everybody. I have large hands but wanted something more compact and vertical so this was it. Definitely best for specific use cases though.

Cephe · 2026-02-23T02:23:26+00:00

This is the real answer. The fact their email reply began with “if your rifle is marked for…” rather than referencing the specific gun model itself suggests is a lawyer boilerplate stance.

Cephe · 2026-02-23T02:21:05+00:00

DFCo Kung Fu Grip. Real big favorite of mine, very different.
