Dutch Nichols, SASS #6461 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 went to LGS to look at Marlin CB's (see earlier post) , coudn't leave with cash in pocket so wife talked me into a CZ hammered coach gun?? When looking at the firing pins there are 2 angular cuts ( very shallow) in the receiver. One for each FP angling 45 degrees downward. They are evenly cut so it's not anything that should not be there, just don't know why they are there?? Thinking maybe to "stake" the FP bushings?? See pic and hopefully somebody here knows why they are there my thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warden Callaway Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Mine has them also. The only thing I can think of is to vent gases. But they are really pretty small for that purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckshot Sheridan Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 It's an attempt to direct the gasses in the safest direction in the event of a pierced primer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tall Tale Todd Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Dutch, when you have a chance, inquiring minds want to about your experience with that particular model. Do you like it? How does it shoot? Etc. Asking for a friend. <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Nichols, SASS #6461 Posted June 25, 2019 Author Share Posted June 25, 2019 3T this is my second CZ coach gun, my brother appropriated the first one I had sometime back!! IF you are competitive this is NOT the gun for you, triggers are too far apart for single cocking for most folks. IF you want the best looking, best fit, best trigger out of the box SxS bar none, this may be the one for you. Seriously they are beautiful and quite a shotgun on looks alone. As I said I re bought this one because I kinda "missed" my first one. BUT opinions vary and mine is worth EXACTLY what you paid for it !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marauder SASS #13056 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 The purpose for the cuts is so that face of the frame is frowning. If they were cut into the upper quadrant, the gun would be smiling.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Nichols, SASS #6461 Posted June 25, 2019 Author Share Posted June 25, 2019 Are you saying it's unhappy with me ??? I wanted to give it a good home! Now I'm feeling sad!? Maybe it knows I gave it's brother up for adoption to my own brother no less!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you mean to say "triggers". If you ment hammers, I have no problem cocking both with one sweep of my left hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrel Cody Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 @Warden Callaway how's the weight compared to a TTN? I'd probably shoot my TTN more if it weren't so dang heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lead Monger Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Plus, you can lighten the hammer springs and swap the triggers right for left. The bores are hard chromed and cylinder bore. I like my CZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bores are hard chromed and cylinder bore. I like my CZ. My CZ-USA Hammer Coach gun is one of my only guns that I run box stock. I see no need to lighten the springs. I'll certainly never swap the triggers. I learned to shoot a hammer double before I cut my wisdom teeth. I tried one of my shooting buddy's TTNs with swapped triggers and it seemed totally queersome to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warden Callaway Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 If you luck onto a Liberty hammer double made in Turkey not Spain, they look to be every bit the same gun. We snatched this one up for less than what a 1878 are going for. Recently a local gunshop got one in and sold it out quickly at $300! Here I'm replacing springs that were butchered by Dremel-Man. It wouldn't set off factory loads about half the time. Works 100% now. I used springs from CZ-USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
