superdry Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 I've just picked up a cz 527 American 204. I've not shot it yet but like the feel of it. I'd read beforehand about the bolt handle hitting the scope eye bell. I could get higher mounts for it, but would prefer to keep it as close to the barrel as possible. There are some company's in the states that make modified bolt handles (lower profile and longer) I was wondering if anybody has managed to get hold of these modified handles? I've also read of guys grinding them, but I don't fancy that option. Any advise would be very welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 I have the CZ 204 as well and I was not fond of the scope height needed to clear the bell. I have grown used to it though and no longer think about hacking on the handle. There is no easy fix for the CZ bolt. Grind it, bend it, or cut it off and weld on another or, the final option, leave it as it is. ~Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one on my CZ 527 20 VarTarg, it came via a guy on the stalking directory but I believe he is on here too. I will PM you his email address, I believe he bought them in as a one off but may be able to help you further.

Alycidon Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Mate of mine would machine the bolt handle for you, he did my 527. A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A I'll get back to you if I don't have any joy with a replacement handle. As it is now it's useable, missing the scope by by a midges. I shoot mostly at night and there's no way I can get the adapter for my add on on . I'm not sure machining is going to get me where I want to be though.

deeksofdoom Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 James Calhoun in the States specialises in this sort of thing you could contact him and see if he will be any good to deal with. http://www.jamescalhoon.com/pricelist.php I have a CZ527 varmint laminate in .223 I have a DIPinc .20moa rail on it with 1 Inch High Burris Xtr rings, so no problem with bolt clearance of the scope. http://www.diproductsinc.com/Detail.aspx?PROD=967999&CAT=3600 Had to raise the comb by making a comb raiser out of some cow matting but it works well.

buddy.223 Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 I ground down mine finished it with fine wet, dry cold blacked it looks like new took less than an hour, its an easy fix as the handle is so easily removed from the bolt ive a duralyt 3x12x 50 with warne meds on the lam varmint - scope sits 1/8" above the bore and the handle clears the chunky eye bell.

nicky.223 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 I had trouble with my 527 the bolt was just caughting by about 2mm so i put it to the sander and taken about 5mm of it and i polished were i put the belt sander to it then i blued it , you can't even tell i done it now so that save me some money on a modified bolt handle or sticking a rail on it to raise the scope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
