CZ 452 Stock Removal - screws

[FoxtrotBravo]

I recently got a new CZ 452 and was going to remove the stock to clean, and found that I did not have any hollow ground slotted bits that will work. It appears that the CZ has three different slot sizes out of the four screws underneath.

Any suggestions about where to get or what to use for removing the screws? I would like to reuse them at least for the time being, and would like them to stay looking nice. Also, I would <span style="font-style: italic">prefer</span> not to have to buy one of those 100 piece bit sets!

Thanks in advance.

I just used the closest sized screwdriver I had and was careful. It didn't hurt anything or booger them up.

Might want to wait and consider doing a little trigger job while you have the stock off. I just did this on my CZ 452 and it's cheap, easy, and is a huge improvement.
Buy this spring.....

Then put a little foil tape on the front trigger pin as described here....

Do this and you'll have an awesome trigger for around $10.00.

Thanks for the links! A trigger "adjustment" is on the list, too. I want to shoot it stock some first, for comparisons sake.

Hey Lucks, does your rifle pass all safety checks. I've read more than once that rifles modified with Brook's kits will not. Looking to improve the trigger on mine too but safety is top priority. Thanks.

Okie
Mine works fine.
I must admit I didn't exactly know how and what all safety checks to do.
So, I just did everything I could think of to see if I could make it accidentally discharge.
Slammed bolt as hard as I could repeatedly, banged gun every which way, safety on, safety off, etc, etc, and it has never failed.

Just like any "DIY" trigger adjustemnt you can remove too much sear engagement. Actually once set up properly the tubes can wear giving more sear engagement, but they cannot wear the other way.

I've used them on a few CZ's, but always leave enough engagement that a 12" butt drop onto carpeted concrete won't drop the firing pin.
