Phantom Mag release issue-Please Help!!
« on: November 25, 2014, 08:04:48 PM »
I posted this over on the Gunsmithing section and while I got some views, I got no responses so I copied it here. Any takers?


Hello all,
I am a long time peruser and now a new member of the forum. I have had a Phantom for awhile now and many posts here on the forum have helped me figure out it's inner workings. I have successfully taken it apart, polished and reassembled it; yes lot's of patience required! The one area I did not do that first time around was the trigger plunger that rides underneath the trigger bar. So over the weekend I reopened Pandora's box and took the whole thing apart again. This time when reassembling it was easier, until I got to the mag release. The spring inside the release button sits in the left side of the piece, from the shooters perspective, yet wasn't long enough to put tension on the plunger by itself.....my sneaking suspicionation was that I'd had a flyer and sure enough as I read around the site I found reference to a pin that goes with the spring inside the mag release button that has to be compressed while simultaneously inserting the plunger bar. So I have looked over the Phantom diagram available at CZ-USA webshop and it doesn't even show the plunger let alone the mag release spring and pin. ARRGGGHH
So, my question, after all that description, is where can I find this elusive pin, is there any hope of learning it's dimensions, out side of trial and error fabrication? I actually tried a hammer pin that I had left over from a CGW comp hammer upgrade but it is to long, though not by much.
So, any ideas!!??

I found this image, which claims to be for the SP01 phantom. I think part #70 & #71 are what you are talking about???I checked both CZ-USA and CZUB.cz and neither had manuals for the Phantom. The only manual I saw that showed the parts you describe are on the CZ 75 Omega....

chfields you are my hero!!!!!!


And yes, parts 70 and 71 seem to be what I will need. I will go look for the Omega parts today and order them. I will post again once I am successful in solving this issue. Thank you so much for looking into this for me.
