Yeah, you got one that works. Many people got one (in my case two) that didn't. If you don't see a problem with a significant number of guns from a major manufacturer not working and them not being able to fix it within almost three years, that's on you haha. Also worth noting that while sometimes the issues are always prevalent, they've also suddenly popped up at round counts over 3,000.
caliber swap is done by them
Thanks for being a 5.56 owner that doesn’t downplay x39 issues! I didn’t use an HBI handguard, one of my guns was actually the 2S that doesn’t have a removable one. Yeah, I agree that it’s safe to bet conversion parts are probably never coming. I have heard about the bolt lug issues, I believe a lot of the x39 problems come from using some of the same bolt parts as the 5.56, which the military guns don’t do of course.
Yes lmao of course I tried multiple gas settings. Since the geniuses at CZ only give you “single shot”, “normal” (overgassed), and “adverse” (extra overgassed) that didn’t do anything to alleviate overgassing at all.
Reminds me of running x39 in AR. I kept a spare BCG on hand since AR x39 bolts are known for breaking. X39 case diameter is larger than 5.56. Which translates into a thinner bolt.
Best of luck man, hope it solves the issues. It seems like it generally helps for the majority of people from what I’ve seen? Just baffling to me that CZ is content to let random smiths do their job.
Lol exactly, I don’t know how a large firearms manufacturer missed the memo that you need to design a multicaliber gun’s bolt around the larger round rather than the smaller one. Seems pretty obvious, especially when they already had functioning x39 military Brens to copy? I don’t know how to explain it besides cost cutting to maximize profit.
