I bought a new 455 Lux in .22 LR three weeks ago. I cleaned it thoroughly then took it to the range and fired about 100 rounds. I cleaned it again when I got home from the first trip. Went to the range about a week later and fired 14 rounds the 15th would not fire. I tried about ten more (all CCI mini-mags) and was getting light primer strikes on all of them and none would fire.
I brought it home cleaned the gun and dissembled the bolt. I found some kind of gunk had collected in the conical section of the bolt where the firing pin stops. The firing pin had hammered the stuff until it was hard as a rock and I could not get it out with a copper wire. I soaked the dissembled bolt for 30 hours in Hoppes No. 9 and was finally able to dig whatever it was out then brushed it down put every thing back together and I thought the problem was solved.
I took the gun the range again last Thursday and it fired the first round, but would not fire any subsequent rounds. Again I was getting light primer strikes. I brought it home and dissembled the bolt, but There were no obvious problems I could see (but maybe I don't know what to look for).
I called CZ and they want me to send it in for repair and sent me a shipping label. I hate to be without the gun for 4 - 6 weeks and thought I would see if anyone here has had that problem and was able to fix it themselves.
