hargreavesheber 93 Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 As I'm sure some of you have already seen my post on the Facebook group but for those who are not part of the said group here goes. I bought this rifle last Saturday in good faith from a firearms dealer. Being green to rifles I took his word it was ok. 2nd hand CZ 22-250. I was a little curious about the end of the gun. He said he was 95% confident it would group fine. Anyhow it definitely doesn't group fine. What are you're thoughts and can it be rectified in you're opinions? Many thanks. Thanks Quote Link to post
shropshire dan 467 Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 (edited) Defo can be rectified. Needs a recrown and thread and re bedding. Probably best part of £200 work minimum. You should take it back mate. Their doesn't seem to be any rifling either that is the biggest problem with second hand .22-250 rifles. You can clearly see the rifling on my new .22-250 matey. Have the rfd sort it or change it. Edited October 1, 2014 by shropshire dan Quote Link to post

shropshire dan 467 Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 That crown is in very poor condition mate probably not fit for sale in the first place Quote Link to post
slipper 116 Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Looks in bad nick that, corroded, could be from leaving the mod on it after shooting perhaps? As above take it back and get it sorted or ask for your money back, let us know how you get on mate Quote Link to post
hargreavesheber 93 Posted October 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Thats what others have said bud. A decent firearms dealer either sorted it before re-sale or not took it in exchange. I feel a right muppet for buying a dud. Quote Link to post
hargreavesheber 93 Posted October 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 It came with a big mod so maybe its lived on the end of gun for years. ?? Quote Link to post
treecreeper 1,136 Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 where did you get it from? Quote Link to post
hargreavesheber 93 Posted October 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 At this moment I'd rather not name and shame. I'll give the guy a chance to rectify 1st. Just want opinions then I've some "ammo" sort of speak when I ring him. Atb 1 Quote Link to post
hargreavesheber 93 Posted October 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 What about the barrel not floating as such. Its touching one side and loads of clearance on the other? Cheers Quote Link to post
Ratmanwan 66 Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 That has defiantly seen better days ! Always take your mod off at the end of the night. The last time I had a re crown was £45 so not the end of the world but bet your bottom dollar it's never been cleaned either. Never had to have one re bedded but it certainly shouldn't be touching Quote Link to post
stillair1 16 Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Ask for a refund and go elsewhere. Quote Link to post
abarrett 462 Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Take it back n beat him with it That will need a new barrel at best Don't keep that even if he gives it to you Bet the inside of the mods the same 1 Quote Link to post
charlie caller 3,654 Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 What a wan*er selling you that, the moderator has been left on and has destroyed the crown, dont stand any nonsense, take it back and get a refund, if he quibbles, threaten him with trading standards, small claims court, etc, that is a disgrace, then go and buy a decent rifle from a proper gunshop, if you want to drive to South Yorks, I will come with you and find you a decent rifle locally 4 Quote Link to post
let'sshoot 11 Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Seeing that crown has given me assurance that the crown and rifling on my cz 223 is pukka. Must get different ammo. 1 Quote Link to post
