    Due to last motion of hammer being Inertial reducing the main spring by much at all probably hinders good primer strikes on most brands...federal is softest if I'm not mistaken. Going to experiment with different springs if available. Polishing the plunger and guide on mine currently.

    Don't you use the metric system? They don't even teach using the imperial system anymore. I graduated 40yrs ago and everything was metric. The company I worked for, designing computer hardware, it was all 3D and metric. Also, you repeat yourself way to much.

    I have a cz 550 in 375h&h mag. It is extremely accurate 1.3cm group at a hundred yards. However the stock had to be worked upon to achieve a free floating barrel and it had to be fitted to my exact specifications. The hair trigger was deactivated and a 2.5 lbs trigger pull was set by the gun smith. After these slight modifications it shot the tight groups with Barnes 300 grain lead free ammunition and with 270 grain federal power shock. Alaska all steel mounts for the CZ550 are excellent. No problems with the cz type mounts. I use a Steiner Ranger 1-4x24 scope with a truly 1x magnification so as to shoot with both eyes open. I highly recommend fitting the stock length and re-working the bedding of the barrel ; it will make an already very fine weapon into an outstanding one. Isn’t that cheap trigger made of Aluminium? That was the only real weakness I noticed with the CZ .

    Great video presentation here. I have a question and it looks like you guys are the best resource here on utube for the answer. It’s a two part question: is this rifle suited for upper conversion to 300 aac blackout? If so, what manufacturers uppers do you recommend? What effect will this have on gas system.? I am assuming it will fire as a DI since Ruger doesn’t mftr a gas piston 300 upper? Thanks for any advice.

    The Gevarm does have a safety. Pull the charging handle back further than the sear, and push it into the safety notch. This locks the bolt in place so a trigger squeeze won't fire the rifle.
