ropati Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I've got a new TS....shot my first match Saturday. I'm shooting 165gr Berry's plated bullets 1.125-1.130" lengths. I'm using the extended basepads, 10 coil spring and CZC follower and loading 20 rounds per mag. During my last stage, I had several episodes where I didn't go fully back into battery and had to give the slide a bump forward with my hand. After the stage, I realized that the bullets were not smoothly advancing up the magazine. I know there was a bit of dirt/dust down in the mag after I dropped it in an earlier stage -- not sure if that bound up the magazine. I think the mag spring just wasn't pushing the bullet up high enough to raise the nose of the bullet and it was nose-diving. My other thought was that maybe the extended basepad was hitting the mag well and not seating all the way. I ground it down a bit when I got home. I think that bullet length is appropriate for CZ pistols.... Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CZ85Combat Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 you need a mag brush. http://www.cedhk.com/shop/products/DAA-Magazine-Brush.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZinZA Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Yeah. My TS is really fussy about having clean magazines. The slightest bit of grit and they stop feeding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axel1841 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 The only time I've ever had a serious malfunction on my TS was with dirt mags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
himurax13 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 (edited) OP, there are only three things that I know of that causes nosedives. 1. Too weak of a spring. 2. Dirty magazine. 3. Broken or poorly designed follower. IMHO, your issue is problem number 2. With a clean magazine, how is the spring tension? If it still feels week, these may help. http://czcustom.com/czcsandfkit13.aspx Edited April 14, 2015 by himurax13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropati Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 I really think it was a dirty mag. Sadly, I haven't shot another match or been to the range yet. Why is it that sometimes you can hear a bullet rattling "loose" inside the magazine? It's only at very specific points, like when 20 bullets are loaded, but not with 19? I assume it's just an odd space where one particular round isn't fully compressed by the spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
himurax13 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 You can usually get the rattling to stop by tapping the magazine. It is normal to hear with longer tubes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRanta Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 The rattle is healthy sound of nose pressure in the magazine. Sadly it may limit your mag max capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian45acp Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 When I had to bump my slide forward it was beacause my COL was too long and the bullets were hitting the rifling. In addition to that the dirty mags I also noticed werean issue. Have you taken the barrel out of the gun and pressed the rounds into the chamber to check they fall right back out when you turn the barrel upside down?
