CZ 453 22LR Help needed

Post by xkkat » 02 Sep 2023, 5:06 pm

HI guys I have a CZ453 Bough from a deceased estate The late owner removed the bolt and mag and then inconveniently died without telling anyone where he hid them!! The bolt and mag from a CZ model 2 .22lr Can be used. The Problem is once the bolt is in it won't come out without removing the barrel and action from the wood and manually clearing the sear off the bolt It has a single set trigger. IT shoots perfectly with the Model 2 bolt but it's a pain to clean it! Can anyone help with a picture of the underside of the CZ 453 bolt? REGARDS XKKAT

It seems related to the set trigger probably having too much sear engagement for a Model 2 bolt .
Try cocking the bolt , setting the trigger , lift the bolt and pull back , then pull hard on the trigger . If it don't come out then it is a Gunsmiths job to maybe alter the bolt . Trouble is many will not want to do that because then if the bolt went back into a model 2 it could be dangerous . A Gunsmith might be able to fit a model two trigger and fix it . It's not a problem I have dealt with before .
