CZ PCR problem?

[Pyromancer]

Would appreciate help from any CZ experts.

Was shooting the PCR today and noticed the decock lever was loose (up/down play) and sitting lower (pic 1) with the hammer at half cock.


Decock lever also needed to be pressed a lot lower before it would decock the hammer (pic 2).


Any thoughts? Thanks in advance

Is the decocker flush with the frame or is there a gap between the two?

Flush with frame

Have you taken the slide of and looked at it from above , a spring may have snapped or other

Not sure if this all looks normal, but the circled section appears to be allowing overtravel, before decocking occurs

I’ll get one of mine out of the safe tomorrow and see if I can find anything different.

Could it be a broken pin looks like nothing is where it should be even the spring here is mine

If your gun isn't done up I'd use this as an excuse to try to get it Cajunized.... you could kill 5 birds with one stone.

Okay first u need to clean it looking at your pic and the one below look to the rt of the blue circle there’s a silver spring (I believe that’s the sear cage) looking at the silver spring there are coils on the left a groove and coils on the right on the first coil after the groove on the rt the black piece is a spring leg that doesn’t belong there looking at the pic below that spring leg belongs in the groove in the middle of the silver spring, CLEAN the gun so u can really see things and focus on that area it could be spring or pin issue. Also watch a video on decocker assembly/ disassembly so you can check the part positions that u can see with out a full disassembly hope this makes some sense and helps

I wish I could help but if it was my cz it would be off to CGW for the copperhead package. I'd view it as a blessing in disguise.

This for sure. I’ve got 4 cajunized CZs and it’s well worth it.

Having said that, I’ve never taken one apart beyond basic field strip and I should become more familiar with the internals in case stuff breaks especially when you shoot a lot

Sorry I can’t help

Gotta love NES!
Problem is likely a $4 pin or spring that needs to be replaced-NES solution is spend $500 to upgrade gun

A little late but compared to mine, everything is out of place on yours. IF you are skilled, you can take the decocker out and see what is going on. Everything in the sear cage will pop out once you remove the punch that is used to push out the decocker. It's not an extremely hard job to do, done it quite a few times fitting new hammers.

Our gunsmith is VERY familiar with working on CZs and often stocks various CGW parts too. Stop by and have him take a look

I've also been looking for a new upper for a rifle.
Can I kill 2 birds with one stone?

Funny thing is I didn't drop it or use it as a hammer. It definitely has several thousand rounds to it. "Just broke" while I was shooting it

I'm thinking about running hot water/degreaser through my guns. Especially the trigger mechanisms. The occasional hoppes/ballistol wipe with paper towel/q tip isn't passing the macro photo test!

Would you mind taking a pic with the hammer cocked?

Yeah I'm gonna head down to Dean Safety for a fix (fix PCR, new sights, and an upper for rifle).

How did you make out …did you get to get fixed

 

[LittleCalm]

That cage is a PITA to work on but if you follow the online vids and have some ok skills you can fix it. I had the whole thing apart and managed to get it back together. Had a similar problem to what you’re having although in my case it was purely my error in putting one of the springs back. I had it slightly out of position. That cage is the only thing that sucks about the CZ decockers.

No. He’s open on Saturday too. Go to his “about” profile on NES or look at his signature on his posts (rotate phone for full screen if not on a computer
