CZ 512 Carbine 22 WMR

Apparently this model was not made for long. At least from what I can tell that is the case.
A coworker has one he is selling at what I consider a reasonable price, $400, that basically has shot a box of ammo. Otherwise it's been in his safe.
I have a modern MTR and it is a joy to shoot. And my CZ pistols (older 75B and a SP01 Tactical) are of course flawless in their respective functions.
Just wondering what is the view on the 512? Also, in the marketing stuff I read on-line I got the impression one can swap out barrels and make it a 22LR as well.

 They're great rifles, and they were made for quite a few years. Very accurate and reliable. It's main issue was price point. That segment is dominated by the 10/22 (for the .22lr, not wmr obviously) and the 512 just had a difficult time competing with it. I think the 512 is a better rifle in many ways, but the 10/22 is no slouch and at many times could be had for half the price. And the 10/22 has some of the best aftermarket support of any modern gun.

 I'd highly recommend a 512.

I had a 10/22 stainless and liked it alright and I still have a 10/22 takedown that is fun to shoot. My only 22 wmr is a Henry lever gun and while I like to shoot it, I am thinking this rifle might be even more enjoyable. Once I got the MTR, I saw no need for my 10/22 stainless.

I'd highly recommend a 512 also!  I love my 22lr and would be all over that 22 Mag!
