PETE'S PILLARS | PRECISION CZ RIMFIRE COMPONENTS
Small Spring. Serious Job.
Backed by over six years of CZ rimfire experience, the Pete's Pillars PP457SP2 Gen 2 Extractor & Holder Spring is a stronger, USA-made replacement for the factory spring used in compatible CZ 455 and CZ 457 bolt assemblies. Manufactured from black spring steel, it brings careful attention to an easily overlooked part of the extraction system.
It's easy to focus on the extractor and forget the spring that holds the extractor and its companion holder in place. The PP457SP2 Gen 2 Extractor & Holder Spring is our purpose-manufactured answer for CZ rimfire shooters refreshing a worn spring, replacing a damaged component, or maintaining a rifle that sees regular range and match use. It replaces CZ OEM part number 5080062201 in compatible applications.
Pete's Pillars manufactures PP457SP2 in the USA from black spring steel, with a stronger Gen 2 design intended to maintain positive tension around the extractor and holder. Initial testing has included several thousand cycles without an observed spring failure. The spring is one part of the extraction system, so rifle performance still depends on the condition and fit of the other components.
No Plating to Fail. Black Finish to Complement Your Bolt.
No plating to chip, flake, or peel. PP457SP2 has a clean, unplated black finish that complements your CZ bolt without another plated layer on the spring. It's a deliberate detail in a small part that sees regular use. Because the steel is unplated, a light protective film of oil is essential to help prevent rust.
Made for the CZ Bolt, With Broader Rimfire Applications
CZ 455 and CZ 457 are the primary applications for PP457SP2. We've also successfully tested the spring in CZ 452, CZ 453, and select BRNO rifles. Testing on those older platforms is limited, so we recommend checking the individual bolt and extractor assembly rather than assuming every BRNO or earlier CZ variation is identical.
If you're dealing with a sluggish or inconsistent ejection problem, a tired spring is one component worth inspecting, but it isn't the whole story. Extractor and holder condition, the individual bolt, and aftermarket barrel or chamber geometry can all affect how a case is extracted and ejected. PP457SP2 is a replacement spring with a stronger design, not a blanket diagnosis for the rifle.
Refresh the Extractor Assembly Together
Working on the CZ 457 bolt? Our PP457ES Extractor & Holder Set is the natural companion to this spring. Its precision wire EDM-cut, heat-treated tool steel extractor and holder are offered separately, letting you replace the pieces your rifle actually needs. PP457SP2 is the spring only; the extractor and holder are not included.
Pete's Pillars also manufactures the PP457FP OEM-Style Firing Pin, PP457FP-T Reshaped-Tip Firing Pin, and PP457LCI Extended Stainless Steel Cocking Indicator. They're distinct components with their own purposes, built for shooters who want to maintain or personalize the CZ 457 bolt.
The CZ rimfire aftermarket includes familiar names such as DPG Gunworks and its Talon Extractors, Position7, and L3i. Those are independent product designs, not assumed interchangeable assemblies. Our focus here is straightforward: a USA-made Pete's Pillars extractor-and-holder spring, with our own PP457ES set available when you also want to refresh the extractor components.

Frequently Asked Questions
Fitment, stronger spring tension, the factory part reference, and what to expect when refreshing your CZ bolt.
Does this spring fit the CZ 455 and CZ 457?
Yes. We designed PP457SP2 for the CZ 455 and CZ 457. It replaces the factory extractor-and-holder spring with our stronger Gen 2 design.
What about my CZ 452, CZ 453, or BRNO?
Yes, we've successfully tested it in CZ 452, CZ 453, and select BRNO rifles. Testing on those older rifles is still limited, and BRNO bolt configurations can vary. Check which spring assembly your rifle uses before ordering.
Is PP457SP2 the replacement for CZ OEM spring 5080062201?
Yes. CZ part number 5080062201 is the OEM cross-reference for this spring. PP457SP2 is our USA-made, stronger Gen 2 aftermarket replacement for compatible applications.
How is the Gen 2 spring different from the factory spring?
The Gen 2 design provides stronger spring tension, and it's made from black spring steel with no plating to chip or peel. We ran it through several thousand preliminary test cycles without an observed spring failure. It's still important that the rest of the bolt and extractor assembly is in good shape.
Will a stronger spring fix extraction or ejection problems?
If your old spring is weak or damaged, replacing it can help. If the extractor, holder, or bolt-to-barrel fit is the problem, though, a stronger spring alone won't fix it. Check the rest of the assembly too.
Can I use it with aftermarket extractors, including Talon Extractors?
PP457SP2 is made as a replacement spring for compatible CZ extractor-and-holder assemblies. Aftermarket designs, including the DPG Gunworks Talon system, may have different spring-tension requirements. We haven't confirmed every third-party combination, so check the extractor maker's guidance before mixing parts. For a Pete's Pillars pairing, see our separately sold PP457ES Extractor & Holder Set.
What comes with the spring, and does it need special care?
You get one PP457SP2 spring. The extractor and holder are sold separately. The unplated black finish has no coating to chip or peel and looks right at home on a CZ bolt. A light protective film of oil is essential to help prevent rust on unplated spring steel. Don't overstretch the spring when installing it.
