IZH 46 Problem

Post by rick983 »

My IZH46 started acting up today. When I close the breech after seating a pellet, it fires. Have I messed up the trigger adjustments? My first shot today was fine, then it started malfunctioning. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.

Could be the trigger adjustment

Post by Bill177 »

As I recall, there are some descrepencies in the IZH46 manual. For correct trigger adjustment see:
http://www.pilkguns.com/tenp/spizh46.htm
Which is provided by our hosts.

Further, if the gun is new, check that all the pieces are still there. I say this, as when I had one a tiny screw and spring suddenly flew off during use. It has been a few years, so I don't recall exactly what they were - however, while putting them back in place I noticed several screws were loose. Check the gun over completely.

Rick983:
you must be very careful. If you wants to try the following thing, must loosen the screw F one turn (rotating against the needles of the clock), screw F is the first in front of the trigger. (the manual have variations in determining the names of the screws), you must unscrew it a turn and verify if the problem persists, if the problem even exists, consults with a specialist.


first stage travel, screw F, first in front of the trigger, (if it is regulated very short, the pistol shoot when closing the breech.)

I hoope help you, I speak Spanish and I am translating this text, with some problems of technical words.

Well said, Nano. Turning screw F clockwise is the same as pulling the trigger. Unscrewing it a bit is probably what you need. Screw F is as close as the Izzy come to having a sear engagement adjustment.

Thank you folks for the information. I turned the screw back as suggested and the gun quit firing on closing the breech. I wish the instructions that came with the gun were better. They barely scratch the surface and leave much to be desired. You know, with the popularity of the IZH46 pistols, you would think some enterprising fellow would put out a how-to book on these fine guns. Along with in depth instructions on the trigger, maybe list all the accessories for them. I have a laser on mine, which is a no no for competition, is great in my home shooting gallery. There have to be other grips and so forth that IZH shooters would be interested in reading about. Just my $.02. Thanks again.
