ksmirk Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 On my 20" barrel I run the +3 on the 26" barrel I run the +7 but truth it's all up to you but I doubt I'd go with a +5 on a 20" tube it would look off in my eyes but that's just me.

Langenator Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I've got a +4 on my 20", which gives 8+1 capacity. I've been trying to find a +1.5" tube ctap since I got the gun, but Nordic has been out of stock. I may stop worrying at about it, since, if I'm reading the rules right for the club I'll be shooting at in VA after I move, they allow max 9 in the gun at any time for TO.

sourbeer Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I'm new here and was looking for information on the 712. I just recently got one and started using for 3 gun. I've not had much time with it but I like it so far. one thing that i like about the new 712's is that they do not require any grinding to install the extension tube as the early models did. I used the +4 extension tube from Nordic. The clamp is well made but does not fit as well as I would like. My son is shooting with me and has been filming some of the events. He assembled a short review of the 712 that we just did and posted to youtube. I would like to add a larger tactical bolt handle, does anybody know where to get one of these. I would also like to get a larger bolt release button or modify it to make it larger. My gun has run almost flawlessly. I had some difficulties running Winchester shells at the first match, switched up to another brand that was available at the range during the match and was fine from then on. After the match, I tested some Remington target loads and then ran great. I went back and loaded a magazine of the Winchester (Steel base hulls) and they ran fine this time. Maybe the gun just needed some break-in time, or a good cleaning after the first shoot. One other thing to note, with the +4 extension tube or any extension tube that extends beyond the muzzle, it becomes difficult to use the choke tube wrench to remove the choke tubes quickly. CZ offers extended knurled choke tubes that I ordered and am going to try to see if they will facilitate easier changing. With all of the recent purchases for my son and I to get into this game, it was sure nice to find the 712 to be such a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sourbeer Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 looking for an oversize bolt handle if anybody knows where to find one. Nordic looks to have made them at one point but I couldn't locate any available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksmirk Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 At this time in the world and not to sound negative but fat chance in hell of a bolt handle! Nordic made a run of 10 just to see how it would go, well once people found out Tony had them they were gone pretty quick and we have been waiting ever since. Sad thing is that while the CZ has sorta taken off they don't have enough folks out there with them to justify the time on a machine over the other products.

hacksaw556 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 OK, anyone know where I can get a +4 extension for my 712?? Nordic is still showing out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langenator Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 MakeReady looks like they have some in stock. They got a thing for bolt handles, but those show out of stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksmirk Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Tony at Make Ready is a hell of a good guy! we were going to add the recoil springs to his site but there just wasn't a big enough need to have that many made were it wouldn't cost me a small fortune. Thing about the CZ stuff is right now they are on an upward slope but it's not steady enough to make a run of 100 or more bolt handles so Nordic has to justify the set-up time and machine time away from a products they sell a mess of. I know a couple of shops here in town I might talk with them and if it's not TOO much cash I'll find out what it would cost to make another run of them. No promises though guys! I have a normal job and a life that enjoys burning up my time like everyone else so be patient. Later, Kirk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zfields Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I have a design drawnup for one in solidworks...can't find a machinist to make me a test piece for under 300. Sent from my HTC Droid Incredible 2 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3gungeezer Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Probably cheaper to take and cut the stock handle and weld a larger end on it from maybe a benelli handle. Oh and by the way I have 2 712's and both have extended bolt handles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and by the way I have 2 712's and both have extended bolt handles. I was trying to avoid that. I'm thinking about just bending appropriately sized round stock and notching it where needed.

zfields Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Im shooting for at, or below nordics pricing. Depends on how much clean up work I have to do to the weld to be honest. I was thinking of just doing a quick clean up, and dipping in a plastidip or something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
