My CZ 82 9x18 (Makarov) pistol is my second-best shooter, next to my S&W 617 .22lr.

 

Unfortunately, every time I take it apart to clean it the slide stop spring falls out, as does the stop itself.

 

It's been to a gunsmith twice, but the same thing happens every time I try to clean it.

 

Has anyone had this same problem? Do you know of a solution? There's a guy who sells the springs, I know. I ordered two from him...

 

 

Use a boresnake instead.

I have CZ-82 from last AimSurplus batch, about 400 rounds through and everything works fine. 

Adjusting grip screws carefully to have mags drop easy, but no other issues - not bad for 30 years old military surplus pistol. 

 

Maybe you need different gunsmith?

Never had that problem with my CZ...
