burningsquirrels Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Was going to use mine at the benelli rockcastle shotgun championship but blew up my ankle on stage 3 of 18, lol. Now I'm out of shooting for two months. So far I have in it: $350 - used 712 18.5" utility $60 used nordic +4 $20 bought a hiviz cert for a tricomp sight drilled the gas ports .015 larger lightened the recoil spring the stock spring was just too heavy to cycle federal loads. at first i was a single shot. then i drilled the gas ports, and then it would cycle, but not hard enough to eject the hull. then i lightened the stock spring and it cycles no problem. only thing i would probably need are chokes, but of the two i got with it, the tighter seems to behave like a light mod, so i left it in there and called it a day.

scalpelarms Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 What springs did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burningsquirrels Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Bubbasmith. Took a total of 4 coils off the factory spring after 2 wasn't enough. Now it is starting to cycle just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scalpelarms Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Can you post a picture of your spring, if its not too much of a hastle. If you can measure the length would be great too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtm Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 (edited) Since I have ben in on the very start of CZ 712 gun work I would tell you that I would be real hesitant to cut your spring by someone elses gun. Everyone of these is a bit different and what works for "Singed Rodent" may be way too much for yours! I would contact Kirk Smith over on Boomer and see if he has any spring pacs left. If not P.M. me and we can decide where to go from there. I am in your area. Edited April 12, 2013 by kurtm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDF5186 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Ran a match this weekend. Gun ran flawless!!!!!! Just operator loading speed was the only issue.........as expected. Fat fingers unite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hacksaw556 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Just ordered mine from Bud's CZ custom shop does NOT have them, he is currently receiving long arms that were ordered in Nov./Dec. of last year. Now off to order an extension tube...hopefully I can find a bolt handle too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDF5186 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Good luck on bolt handle. Nordic has a order in for more of them..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamski Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I had a message into CZ on Facebook asking when they would get them in. Their response was "keep on checking, we should have them in a few months". Pretty sure I heard the exact same thing a few months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zfields Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Just ordered mine from Bud's CZ custom shop does NOT have them, he is currently receiving long arms that were ordered in Nov./Dec. of last year. Now off to order an extension tube...hopefully I can find a bolt handle too... I'm in the same boat. Bought mine on the 14th, still waiting for it to get shipped. Going to have a buddy fabricate me a bolt handle, if it works well I may have him do a run of them for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksmirk Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Fella's just a thought and this is due to me getting one of the 26" barrel, I like it much better than the 20" barrel plus that +7 Nordic tube fits just about perfect. If you can't get the Utility might look into the 26" barrel model. As for the bolt handles I've heard several times it should be soon BUT that was from the time of the first run.

RDF5186 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I agree. I have the 26 and no real difference over my shorter one!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hacksaw556 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I was thinking about the 26" barrel, but I's just happy I found one at this stage of the game...perhaps will upgrade the barrel down the road..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksmirk Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I don't know if it's the longer barrel or the extra weight but it slows my swing a bit which is a good thing so I don't swing past targets which I had a problem with! never found it to be an issue with ports and the length so far but then haven't been getting to shoot as much :-( A wood stocked shotgun wouldn't look real tacticool but hey the wood stock would probably be lighter just might have to be careful when dumping it off in barrels as the forearm is not real thick. Might just have to see if I can come up with something and a wood stocked 712 hehe Later, Kirk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerritm Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Just a FWIW note. My son shot the Texas Muligun this weekend with his CZ. Started the match with the gun clean and oiled. Ran great first day, but it was very windy and dusty. As the second day went on with the dust and wind we noticed the shotgun had a few issues with reliability, mainly ejecting and feeding the new round. Got back to the motel that night and cleaned the shotgun and oiled it and it ran perfect again the next day. We always knew it liked to run a little wet, but if it gets dusty it is a good idea to re-oil it or clean it during the match. Great little gun. gerritm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfd147 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Hey Gerrit, What squad were you? I was the on stage 4 as the CRO and match paramedic. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerritm Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Squad 4. We shot it on the first day. You guys were great. I don't shoot a CZ, but the next best one a Tanfoglio, a CZ takeoff. Thanks. Gerrit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfd147 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I shot my CZ 712 the weekend before at the RO shoot. Other than me bump firing it a couple of time on the first stage, I only had one issue with it not feeding the last round. But I think that it is because I trimmed the magazine spring too much. I hope you had fun and hope to see you and your son next year. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hacksaw556 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Another question for the peanut gallery, what size extension should I get from Nordic, the 4 or 5 rounder??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
