Sooo… I got a request to look at CZ rim fires…
CZ has a number of ‘interesting’ new things… Both integrally suppressed, and and externally suppressed. And these are just the rim fires!
This is an integrally suppressed barrel, which is an option on most of the rim fires. Note the full threading. I’ll come back to that.
This is the external suppressor. Same threading pattern. And all of the barrels are threaded to take the suppressors!
This is the list of the rifles in picture one. You can look them up in the CZ catalog
And here is the tool that allows you to disassemble/reassemble the suppressors.
Note the marks on the cylinder, they equate to the depth of the baffles to ensure they are spaced correctly. This will allow the end user to properly clean and reposition the baffles in the correct location. The pins allow the use of a wrench to unscrew the baffles, and screw them back in.
And for your viewing pleasure, Les Baer’s pistol that’s in the Shooting USA drawing…
Pardon my drooling in the corner…
Wow. With all those suppressor options it’s almost like CZ knows something about the likelihood of suppressor deregulation, isn’t it?
I forsee massive problems with that can/baffle design . I see they have an interrupted thread on the baffles but still , Carbon and lead deposits are going to create huge issues . How many people do you know who could tap a thread that deep ? lol .
A local shop was building something very similar back in the 1980s. They drilled gas ports in the barrel and put a threaded sleeve over it. A friend bought a full auto, suppressed Ruger 10/22 from them just before the Registry closed. Looked just like a bull barrel 10/22. It had a small button at the top of the trigger; all you had to go was lift your finger up a bit when pulling and you were in happy mode. Way nicer than the selector switch on my Ingram.
He ran a lot of ammo through that rifle, and so did I. It was pretty scrungy inside when he opened it up a decade or so later, but it came right apart.
I like CZ products. The 75 is one of the great pistols out there and the P-10C, in my opinion is as good as any striker fired pistol out there and better than most.
Much obliged sir for that report. I became a fan in the early 2000’s, when some feedback had mentioned a European company manufactured Old School steel and wood rimfires for a very reasonable price.
I had never heard of them before and never read anything either – no gun rag love. My search found me the internet site RIMFIRECENTRAL. CZ and their parent Brno have had a major influence in spending habits since.
Thank you again.
I dunno, the Baer looks like a generic ’boutique’ gun to me. I like the forward serrations – that’s where JMB originally put them. The adjustable sight is OK, as is the checkering on the front strap. But I find the spur hammer more comfortable to use, and I have no use for beavertails at all. I got bit *once* and learned how to grip the gun properly, so why bother? The big “breadbox” lump on the grip safety is teh nutz now, I guess. If your grip safety has problems, you need to fix it, not add big lumps to it. I greatly prefer the A1 arched mainspring housing, but the boutiques like the flat ones because it’s easy to machine kewl snake scale patterns and stuff. The lowered-and-flared ejection port goes way back, but the stock port works fine if your extractor is tensioned properly.
On the other hand, they used plain wood instead of anodized aluminum grips, resisted squaring and checkering the trigger guard, avoided welding on a giant hemorrhoid “funnel” to the magwell, the barrel doesn’t stick way out past the bushing, milling mystery slots in the slide,
adding giant a bat-wing ambi safety, or countersinking a giant belly button around the slide release…

screw in baffles, I wonder if you could play with spacing to get better tone out of them, or possibly to fix poi shift due to ammo being used, such as one distance for 22lr supersonic and another for subsonic?
Sendarius- One wonders…
FD- I talked to the silencer guy, he admitted you actually have to CLEAN them once in a while…LOL
TRX- Point!
Jim- Thanks for the update!
j.r.- You’re welcome!
TRX- He built it to ‘spec’… 🙂 And he doesn’t do ‘fancy’, just good shooter!
Daga- Good question, and not a clue!!! LOL
Had my eye on a CZ for a while. Thanks for that.
Nice pistol!
I do NOT need another .22!
