I got a carcano cavalry carbine from Classic a couple weeks ago and am very happy with it.
Ok here is the promised update on the CZ50s from OWS. On face, I’m impressed. Matching serials. Immaculate barrel. Covered in gun oil so it’ll need a cleaning but finish, grips, internals looks really good. Zero external or internal putting or rust. Small rust spot on the follower in the mag. I haven’t had a chance to fully take it apart yet to clean it so any hidden issue will be for future disclosure. Also haven’t shot it yet but overall looks good. I think these are the real deal guys. Now one caveat I did pay for the Grade 1 Select. Overall I’m very happy with the purchase.
Mine is en route. Also grade 1. Hopefully also in great shape
Just realized a picture might be helpful.
Much nicer than the one I picked up from Classic a few years ago.
The OWS CZ50s are FILTHY inside. I’m in the process of completely disassembling mine to give it a thorough cleaning. It’s cleaning up very nicely though. If you get one, I’d recommend a complete strip and clean.
What do the import marks look like?
They are on the bottom of the front of the frame. Kind of large and deep but at least out of the way.
Just noticed that one of mine is not working in double action. The trigger is not releasing all the way to allow for the longer pull. single action seems fine. Any ideas? maybe when i take the grips off to clean i can compare to the working one and figure out the issue. Hopefully something minor.
Edit. I think i figured it out. the trigger is not clearing the trigger guard to reset fully. There is a dent in the bottom of the trigger guard. Crap. this one might be a return.
