What does Colt have to offer CZ? CZ already has a strong foothold in the US and is building production facilities. Colt had connections with police and military which I am sure CZ wouldn't mind accessing, but is it worth much? CZ is already a NATO supplier. I dunno. I feel like this may be a deal like when MB "merged" with Chrysler. It only brought MB down. |

I think they charged an extra $10 just to do the conversion, plus international fee etc. So I wasn't thrilled about price, but spec wise it had me interested. Ask the seller if he is from or in Munich since he has "Isar" in his email address. Get to talking, he grew up close to where I lived while I was there on the south side of Munich near the Isar river. Knew my favorite Biergarten on the Isar very well. Says he lives in another part of Munich now, but still close. Said since I knew the Isar he would throw in a little something extra. Cool. Very cool actually now that I have it. I need to follow up with him, but I think he made these scales himself. 3d printed metal. Pretty sweet. https://i.imgur.com/iwri4l0.jpg https://i.imgur.com/J3GCOgH.jpg View Quote That's awesome. |

Then smokie kept posting pics so I looked into them again. Saw the OAL was closer to 9" than 8" and... You bastards are good at spending other people's money. |
