Fun!!!Īnyway, having finally removed the muzzle device (thank god I didn’t have to use a torch again to remove it through excessive amounts of lock tite), I see that it is a totally worthless, over cosmetically-engineered POS that serves no purpose under the hand guard, other than to add unnecessary weight and complexity to the barrel / fore end. Of course I spent a couple of hours tracking down an adjustable pin wrench locally to remove the “muzzle device” - try explaining what a pin wrench is to the average room-temperature IQ hardware store clerk - its a challenge! But of course, the standard pin wrench in the USA is totally different from whatever they have in Czechia (or whatever they call themselves now), so those holes had to be drilled out to accommodate the USA pin wrench pegs. This resulted in me cutting off the cheese grater hand guard with a hack saw to get to the barrel nut for removal. Well that’s just awesome, that means I’ll have to buy another $35 tool from HBI to remove the barrel nut / hand guard assembly because the $35 socket that I bought for the previous Evo 3 model that was made for a 7/8” barrel nut - that is, before the previous barrel nut I had to deal with had to be hit with a torch to break through the excessive amount of thread locker slathered on at the factory, melting and catching the crappy OEM “cheese grater” hand guard on fire. Evo 3+ is different from what you describe on the 3+ Micro. Quote from: MeatAxe on August 06, 2022, 01:07:46 PM ^ Actually, upon closer examination, the muzzle device on the 7.8” bbl. Will have to go to Harbor Freight to waste more time and money to get a pin wrench to take this stupid thing off - thanks again to CZ for engineering another stupid way to waste customers' time and money on something that could easily have been done in a much more user friendly way! It does not appear that this muzzle device serves any other purpose (other than to look fru-fru underneath the hand guard), since it doesn’t extend much beyond the muzzle to do any flash suppression or redirection of the muzzle blast.Īpparently, the pin holes are 1/8" in diameter. I stuck a bore scope down the inside of the hand guard and did not see a barrel nut, so I surmise that this faux suppressor/shroud muzzle device holds the hand guard on. What it looks like is a thick faux suppressor / booster or screw-on barrel shroud that appears to need a small pin wrench to unscrew it from the barrel (the array of holes around the bore on the front end of the muzzle are not exhaust ports, but merely holes to engage a pin wrench - which, of course, is not supplied by CZ with the gun).□ ^ Actually, upon closer examination, the muzzle device on the 7.8” bbl.
