CZ model 527 carbine

[Geno]

I recently found and acquired a rifle that, to me at least, has been unobtainium. I had read an article by Paco Kelly about these little rifles. It is chambered in 7.62 X 39. It is made to CIP standards in Europe to be used with steel cased ammo safely. This means relatively inexpensive canned ammo may be used without concern. The rifle weighs less than 6 pounds, it comes with very good and usable iron sights. The rifle is feed by the use of a detachable 5 round steel magazine. This means a very compact convenient woods loafing gun with decent power and a good expectation of hitting your target. The rifle also has a single set trigger. To "set" you simply push the trigger forward and you will have a crisp trigger pull of about a pound. If not set, the trigger can be used in the conventional way with a slightly creepy 4 pound let off. Fit and finish are excellent. Walnut and beautiful blue steel. The only feature I do not care for is the CZ reversed safety lever. Forward is safe. Back is fire. I have 452 and 455 model 22 lr rifles that are the same. So I deal with it.
Shooting the 527 is pure joy. Very light recoil. Inexpensive ammo. I just bought 1000 rounds of Wolf WPA for $229.65 shipped to my door last week from Lucky Gunner. That is less than 22 mag and 17 hmr! The rifle is shorter than a 94 winchester but handles as nicely. So far impromptu shooting shows 50 yard groups of just over an inch.
I am really glad I found this little gem.

I have been wanting one in 233 for a while. I let one slip thru my fingers about 6 months ago.

Nice find glad to hear a good range report.

Badass!

I love those little CZ carbines! They are like trying to catch smoke with your fingers, as far as availability, though.

Needs more barrel thread

I keep going back and forth on whether or not to get one in 223 or 7.62x39, sweet little rifles.
