It had been almost two decades since CZ 'fixed' the single feed issue with their extractor. I have a buddy that has a 22 Hornet CZ that must be fed from the magazine. My newer Hornets are fed single shot all the time. I have a 204, 22 Hornet (x2), 223, 300 AAC, 7.62x39(X2) and two 6.5 Grendels and toss rounds into the chambers of all of them. You are not "forcing" the extractor over the rim. They were been (re) designed around 2000 to function this way. Nine 527's purchased from 2005 to 2020. None have any feeding issues operating the bolt. None have issues with the extractor. Bedding and their 'set' trigger? Sometimes. (More so of late) If they start bedding their American series like the new Varmint bedding system, they will have a lot fewer complaints about bedding. All they will need work out is putting in a decent, single stage adjustable trigger and losing that cranky set trigger.~Riuma
