what it is....is the extractor....
I believe the single shot adaptors allow the case to drop lower than the magazines do as the round rides in the 'channel' the single shot adapter has in it's topside. We made similar ss adaptors out of a block of black Delrin and also Teflon and had similar problems. We also purchased a few of Calhoun's metal SS adaptors. They are a very nice piece of artwork and work well in Hornet actions if the extractor is 'right'. SOME CZ 527 extractors have less room under the lip (claw) than others. We polished them, and even removed a tad of metal at the bottom of the 'fingernail/claw' so as to grab less area of a hornet rim.
When a Hornet [22 or 17] case rides forward as when being pushed by the bolt, IF it drops down into the channel of the SS adaptor [homemade or Calhoun's] the angle of the cartridge can cause it to get 'caught' in the gap the rim normally resides in, the gap between the extractor and bolt face. It can get 'caught' enough to prevent loading. We also tried a bit of polishing of the bolt face to enable the brass rim to 'slide' UP the bolt face easier, which helped a lot in some rifles. It seems the extractors on the CZ 527s vary a bit. Try to order an extra, and get out the Dremel tool : ) We DO polish the FACE of the extractor where it is bevelled...seems to allow it to slide over the back of the case rim easier. Also, we talked about how we would like for Calhoun to make his same SS adaptor in Delrin, black or whatever color : ) it would be lighter and 'slicker' for less friction on top where the case rims ride [not a big deal but should be easier to make, lighter and cheaper]. Hope this helps. Tinkered with CZs a good bit. Last edited by Alan in GA; 09-30-2011 at 01:16 AM. |

Top effort in your reply. That's the type of information we needed! Great work. Any one else?
