Thread: Advice & help please, brand new CZ 452 Misfiring?!

Hi there, just after some advice, as I am as fresh as they come to fire arms. SO, I got my brand new gorgeous CZ 452 Lux LH with a brick of CCI Standards, Woohoo! Excited much. Never used a firearm before... ever. Got to my old mans place actually feeling quite nervous to pull the trigger for the first time, so I feed a cartridge and it goes 'click' . This sent me into a nervous fluster as I wonder what I am doing wrong, carefully I take the cartridge out and put it to the side, work the bolt and fire a good round which almost instantly eased my nervousness. Problem is, out of about 100 rounds I got 12 duds, which in talking to a good mate reckoned it was 'way too much, there's gotta be something wrong'. Rang the shop, they said bring it down, I brought it down, they cleaned a whole lot of grease out the bolt and replaced it with some other grease, fired it 30 times with no issues and tell me 'all sorted'. I take it to the old mans, fire it, still happens, rang the shop, shop gave me a whole lot of different ammo that was lying around and said it could be the ammo, use the ammo and I notice its starting to improve a hell of a lot, to like 5 duds out of 100. However it is still misfiring, so the shop gave the bolt a bath in oil and said just keep firing 'it'll losen up'.

Everyone's telling me 'oh its so strange CZ's are one of the most reliable' yea yea yea . I do believe it though.

Has anyone had any similar experiences or could provide me some advice on new .22's doing this? It would be greatly appreciated.


Cheers
