Hi all.
The  carbine arrived to my local store yesterday. I eagerly picked it up early. Cant get to a range for sometime unfortunantly due work commitments but I will post a report when I do get to go.

I ran some dummies thru the mag and found the last 2 rounds do seem to bind in the mag and the cases are scratched. But with a strong firm bolt throw all rounds would feed and extract. I found that the bolt likes to be kept very straight in the receiver of it can bind but I have worked out a good solid bolt throw that wont bind and feeds all rounds, however I will smooth out the very front of the feed lips with some light sand paper or emery paper to ease the feeding.

With out shooting the CZ yet I am very pleased with the finish although the rear action screw is over tightened from the factory and so far I have not been able to release it with my slightly undersized drivers. Will wait and buy the correct driver so I dont burr the head.

I was looking at the norenco bushranger which is basiclly a clone of the CZ527 American and was half the price of the CZ. But when I looked at the fit and finish it was appalling in comparison and a thug in weight in comparison to the CZ also. AM so glad I went with CZ now. Such a handy little carbine and so light.

Will post range review once ive got out.

Cheers all. :)
