Need CZ 527 gunsmith
Hey Guys
I have a CZ 527 Varmint in .17 Hornet that I just adore. I have had it a few years now and have made lot of orphan ground squirrels with it here in Idaho and Nevada. As much fun as it is to shoot, alas, the time has come where it is not shooting quite as good as it once was. Not terrible mind you, but not like it used to be. Anyway, fine friend gave me a Shilen .17 cal barrel that was formerly a .17 Mach IV that only had 2-300 rounds fired down it. The chamber was cut off before he got it and now it's just a 20" blank. So I guess I need to find me a hopefully affordable quality gunsmith that can thread it, chamber it and get it installed and headspaced on my CZ. I just dont know anyone that does it and hoping that some of you guys can recommend someone. It does not have to be done right away, but hopefully in the near future. Much thanks for any info. |

As I recall, the CZ's are metric thread. Whoever you pick, make sure they can do metric threads.

Yup. That's the problem with the ones around here that I have talked to so far. Not setup for metric. Seems odd with so many non-American made guns out there.

Kevin Riddley in the Salem Oregon area rebarreled a CZ527 for me with proper metric threads.
That or visit http://www.jamescalhoon.com/ and see if he has any teke-off barrels for sale. John |

Greg Tannel is the only 'smith I now who will single point that small CZ receiver, square the lugs, bush the pin and sleeve the bolt. He did one for me years ago in .20 VTT that was just a phenomenal shooter (Douglas barrel no less) but I don't think Greg is taking on any new work right now because he is swamped. |

Bob Green, York, PA did some fine work for me on a CZ also. Of late he is off hunting or fishing, but google him and see what he says.

Talked to Greg recently about similar work and he is 3 years out. I would recommend that you call James Calhoon, he does a lot of CZ's.
