Just stumbled upon this today:

Anyone have any experience with these? That test target is encouraging...

Have no experience with the rifle -- but it's kind'a intriguing...

It would be a way to get a repeating .22 rifle that can reliably handle everything from .22 CB's on up to the various long rifle loadings, in a form factor other than a tube-feeder. Plus, you can quickly arrange the loads specifically for the job at hand, without having to empty a tube.

It looks like it has a shield for the cylinder gap flash, which is a good thing. The weight (4.5 pounds) is about right.

I hope to hear more...

I took a closer look at the photos on the web site... one minor disappointment is that the test target is probably marked "15 m" rather then the "75 m" I'd thought, on first glance. Still, it looks like a nice little carbine, much easier on the eyes then the Circuit Judge .22.

If I knew it was of quality manufacture, I'd order one now.

I just caught that after you mentioned it -- that is the craziest writing of a "1" I've ever seen...My wife writes "2's" that are indistinguishable from "5's"...

Actually, considering open sights and a flyer, that accuracy seems acceptable for field use. It probably picks up with a decent scope...

If that's 15meters freestyle then it's darn good. If it's off a bag then I'd suggest it's likely more about the eyeballs of the shooter than the gun at that distance. With a scope and shot from a bag rest I'd be surprised if this wasn't a one ragged .38Spl size hole at that range.

That style of a "1" is very common for eastern Europe. A "7" would have a line through the middle of the down stroke.

If the interior quality is as nice as the pictures make the exterior look I'd definetly buy one if they make it up this way.

I'm hoping they are gonna import the .357 Magnum version shown on the Alfa Proj web site. It's something I could definitely find a use for.

What is the frame material? Many of the Czechpoint revolvers are listed as having an "alloy" frame. I believe the only ones listed as having a steel frame are the .357 mags.

They have some nice .32 S&W long revolvers, However, I'm put off by the "alloy frame".

Does anyone know what this "alloy" is? Is it aluminum or zinc or what?

Hm. Double-action, too. Never fired a double-action long arm before. Must feel weird.

Looks like a Charter Arms-style action.

Very interesting.

That looks like a European "1." (You have to multiply it by 2.54 to get a real "1." :D )

(15 Meters is almost perzackly 50 feet.)

And it's a 9 shooter.

It's really cool. If they made one in .32 Long it would be awesome.

Czechs know how to make quality firearms.
In fact, I've never seen a Czech firearms that was NOT top quality.

Even with the gas shield -- I'm trying to imagine what a .357 would be like going off about 4 inches from my ear... :eek:
