cz 612 pump shotgun

[wily]

Father in law bought a used cz 12 gauge to turkey and duck hunt with...he bought it earlier this fall from steves in joplin.  Took it this weekend for first time...and it ejects the new shell from the tube...instead of putting it into the chamber.

Danmbdest thing I ever saw...almost like someone took it apart and put it back together wrong.

This is 2nd used gun from Steve's that we've had a problem with...it looks brand New...cost wasn't much different than New...but someone got rid of their junk...and he doesn't check them before selling.

Anybody have experience with cz pump shotguns?  I feel responsible for him buying it...what a bummer

I'm not very mechanical...I took it apart...spring definitely feels strong...think I should cut an inch off of it...and see what happens?

I took the plug out...and put 4 in the tube for now...see if spring loosens up...and if that helps...

Thank you for the link

You know somebody is going to say "should'a got an 870".  I guess today it's me.

I hear ya....i've got a 870 magnum I use for turkeys.  He has an old wingmaster  quail gun...with improved cylinder...so he was wanting something specifically for turkeys.

He doesn't like duck hunting because he says too cold...but went with us this morning...it was pretty nice out...I took my coat off in ground blind...and actually fell asleep at one point.  He finally goes and the dang gun didn't work right...bad luck

Maybe it will be an easy fix...I thought this gun would basically be like my 870 magnum

I certainly have nothing against less expensive firearms, but you have to expect some issues when they cut expenses.  Happily many of them are an easy fix and they work.great afterwards.

We'll see...wasn't really a cheap gun...but I guess if it isn't a browning, benelli, or a beretta..a lot of people look down on them.  

I always get tickled at people that spend a lot of money on a bow...or maybe a shotgun...and act like it's a big deal.

Think about how much a boat costs in comparison...have a good one

Two of my buddies bought CZ shotguns.  Neither one happy.  The first already got rid of his.  The second has had cycling issues with his autoloader from the the first shot.  Many conversations with CZ and many parts changes and he still has a single shot.  It will be returned.  Only two guys I know that bought a CZ.  Doubt I'll be getting one.

I called cz today...they said send it to them...they'll fix it for free...kind of a pia but good to know they'll stand behind it...said it would take 6 weeks tho...will see what happens
