Czech 22LR trainers at Wideners

[Xoticbass]

Anyone buy one of these?

Looks sturdy, and in great condition - but I find the single-shot rifles to be tedious...Does anybody know if you can add a box magazine? Any other thoughts on these rifles?

Thanks

I have one. It's a excellent shooter. It really is perfect for kids, but I do we'll with it too. 1950's dated, not a trainer but is a garden rifle.

I recommend it!


Ps. No adding a box mag to it

A better question to ask is "Is there any rifle(gun) that Yellowsled DOESN'T have?".

From what I have seen on here as far as C&R goes the answer would be NO!!

Well, he only very recently acquired an M44, IIRC. That still blows my mind!

 

[yellowsled]

Thats true. I think I dont have 5-6 type of guns.. I am working on it.

I'd like to have a Type 99 Arisaka with mum and a Tula m44. I need to stop buying two of everything, lol. My house is becoming Noah's Gun Ark.

Staying away from jap rifles. They are just not my thing.

Glad to see they finally listed them as C&R. I emailed them twice trying to get them to make them C&R as I knew they were over 50 yrs old awhile back (I had done some research and the manufacture years were all in the 1950s). Never got a response... either they finally woke up or maybe things are starting to slow down sales wise (is the panic of 2013 winding down?) and they are doing what they got to do to keep sales going.

How's that water-cooled Maxim working out for you?

It still seems a little high for a rifle that has no military history. It they were in the $100 range I'd have one by now. Could be a neat rifle to start my son on when he gets old enough. I think my WZ-48 would be too long and heavy for a child.

Even without any military history, its great little .22 bolt action. Well worth the purchase.

These "repeaters" are available from Liberty Tree. I purchased a Romanian M69 from them last year and was happy with the process.

2x as much and not C&R

Yep - but still look like nice little 22s

 

[Xoticbass]

I'm now leaning towards the Romanian M69s - if I can find one.

Anybody have one of those, perhaps for sale?

Try here https://royaltigerimports.com/index...06:just-in-stock-romanian-m69-training-rifles - they are closed until about July 15th due to moving to Florida.

Yes and no.

I do have one, and it is not for sale.

So as far as the M69's go, they have this strange firing pin/extractor design that can sometimes cause problems. I had to pull my bolt part and pull the firing pin/extractor and really clean and deburr it to get it to function properly. Wasn't too hard, but it is common enough that I found the solution on the internet without too much searching. Its good now that I did a little shade tree gunsmithing... if you aren't into that, then you might want to avoid unless you have a guaranteed problem free shooter. Just my 2 cents.

As far as where to find one, I'm not sure. Royal Tiger Imports and Liberty Tree Collectors both had them for a long time, but I think they are both sold out now. Probably have to get one off or GB or something. Remember though, they aren't C&R.

Xoticbass, there is a M69 for sale in the classifieds right now I noticed (don't know anything about the seller).
