matt salmHey, this is a custom gun too...
This thread has me wanting to restock a little re-barreled CZ I have. T-J, is the metal all factory or custom tube?? I must have gotten one of the few CZ's that didn't shoot. The bore scope revealed extremely deep reamer marks the full length of the bore. I re-barreled with one of my friends Dan Muller's special rim fire barrels and it now shoots like my Annie.

TexasJohnThe metal came from a Model 1 that had been arsenal converted to single shot. It still had the correct bolt numbered to the receiver which is rare. I bought the original parts to convert it back to a repeater. The extractors had also been removed and a fired case placed in the chamber. I assume it was used for some sort of drill. The barreled action was in wonderful condition and the bore was pristine. It shot so well that it was used with the factory barrel to create this custom .22. I had seen a picture of Don Blincoe's Model 1 posted on the internet. I will attempt to attach one to this post. It was the inspiration for this project. I later (quite a story) held the blincoe rifle in my hands and got to examine it.
Thanks for the kind words.

mightymouseThanks for the additional pics, John. That is a gorgeous rifle! FWIW, I've heard of the Blincoe custom, but I've never seen the pics.

Dick WrightI really like that dark wood. It would be nice to go thru Roger's wood.
However, the plane trip is a killer.
