I am gather items to build in school and I need a 22Lr to build into a full blown Squirrel rilfe. I have the option to buy a CZ 452 and a MAS45 for about the same price. Which one would make the better rifle. I know the MAS45 would need a new barrel and bridges but the CZ has that ugly 11mm rib and it's new. I am also planning on building a hinged floor plate for either. The MAS has the swing safety that can be turned into a "70 style" side swing.

So MAS45 or CZ 452? Adam

1) a real commercial Mauser made 22
2) MAS 45
3) the CZ 452

Or pick up a Springfield 1922M2 bolt and a 1903 receiver.

Too bad it's sold out. Adam

i have a original 1922, interesting gun but a little oversized for a gun to shoot tree rats with.

That's why you have to tunr it into something like this.

I have held this rifle and I'll tell you what, looks do no justice. Adam

That is a looker!

I am afraid to ask the cost.

It's 25,000 once you have it out the door. Adam

Is this what you are trying to duplicate?

No, not duplicate. I wanted a MAS45 to build on but the Springfield was an option. Adam
