Called CZ, triggers should be no problem, so...did the deal online...$575 shipped. This is too-easy.

Good luck. Your boy is a big kid, was there an option for a longer stock?
Best, Ted

The center of double-gun manufacture in the world for the last 30 years has been Huglu (pronounced "who-lu") in Turkey. Face it. This is the modern Birmingham, Liege, Saint Etienne, Spain, whatever. They have the expertise, the labor, the wood. They get better and better. I've a lot of friends who recently were in the area and who brought back guns. As Stan says, for the price you can't beat them.

I wish the Turks would solve their trigger pull issues! Wishing won't get anything done. Until they do, buy the gun for $489 and teach yourself to do a trigger job. People think about it as something deeply mysterious, or far and above the expertise of a hobby gunsmith. It's not. Trust me. And, the satisfaction that comes with making a great trigger out of a bad one is huge. SRH

Stan: since CZ is willing to do it under warranty, I'll defer on this one. Ted: the recoil pad is reportedly a bit thin, so extra LOP (if needed) shouldn't be too-hard to gain. I'm guessing it's a draw-bolt gun, so cast might be a challenge(?). We'll probably have to cross that bridge later. Thinning or dishing the stock would likely be the only options here.

Nah you can bend a through bolt gun, I have bent a bunch of them.

I presume you bend behind the bolt only. I've got a rifle with a through bolt. I'd like to bend it, but there are only a few inches behind the bolt head.
I suppose you could replace the bolt with all-thread, bend the wood, then bend the all-thread to match and attach with a nut.
I'd be interested in your method, since I have some application for it.

No not at all, the bend happens in the wrist as usual. You may have to add some relief in the hole on the direction of the bend. The biggest change is that the cheeks of the stock need to be clamped together or they just spread apart and the stock does not bend. Most people over think this one.

I agree, Lloyd. In your case that is the first course of action. I wouldn't be surprised if they refuse to get it under 6 lbs. Dickinson won't.
Regardless what ed thinks, trigger work is a skill that can be learned. No one is born knowing how. An acetylene torch in unskilled hands is also a recipe for disaster, huh ed?
