Major Art Tillery Posted October 2, 2021 Posted October 2, 2021 Have been having some troubles with what I call over travel on my CZ Coach Gun. (Opens up to far and gets stuck when you try to close it) Found the problem the lug the forearm clicks to has moved forward an 1/8 to 1/4 inch... Assume it will require a resolder... Or is it trash? Where to send them for repair? Thanks for any info. M.A.T.
Cliff Hanger #3720LR Posted October 2, 2021 Posted October 2, 2021 Check the stop for cracks or broken.
Colonel Lou Posted October 4, 2021 Posted October 4, 2021 My lug seperated a little from the barrels a couple years ago causing this issue. Had to have the lug and the bottom rib resoldered to fix issue.

July Smith Posted October 5, 2021 Posted October 5, 2021 If its a stock CZ I'd try and get them to fix or replace. I believe they have a warranty/import place in Kansas. If the gun is heavily modified I'd try to find a competent SASS gunsmith to repair. Johnny Meadows would be the first one I would talk to, but I am sure others will chime in with their preferred SASS smith.
KingSnake Posted October 5, 2021 Posted October 5, 2021 As mentioned above, contact Johnny Meadows. He has a really good method to repair this. I used his method on my SKB 3 years ago and it’s still holding up shootin Cowboy 3 times a month.

Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted October 6, 2021 Posted October 6, 2021 A shooting buddy has had this problem on his SKB double (internal hammers) three times now. First time, gun was returned to Turkey for rib reattachment. Second, gun was returned to CT for warranty repair of rib. Now it's happened a third time. This is NOT an easy failure to fix well. And SKB smiths don't know how to fix it, apparently. A REAL GOOD repair on ribs can be done by Art's Gunshop in Missouri, or Briley's Guns in Houston..... http://www.artsgunshop.com/ https://www.briley.com If I remember correctly, Johhny's repair involves tig welding and reinforcing the forearm hanger lug, then resoldering the rib. I'd be sure that would be a top notch way to fix it, too. good luck, GJ
Happy Jack, SASS #20451 Posted October 6, 2021 Posted October 6, 2021 Since you are in KS try getting in touch with Lonnie at Run-N-Gun. They do amazing things there.
Major Art Tillery Posted October 8, 2021 Author Posted October 8, 2021 Thanks for all the suggestions! I APPRECIATE IT
