I looked at a CZ 550 American in .30-06 today. Great fit and finish on the outside, and the bore looked good. However, the operation of the bolt was very rough - it took some real muscle to operate - anyone else have this problem?
They've even come up with a model called the "American" that's stripped of those awesome iron sights. It's a model of rifle that basically nets CZ another $100 or more on each sale because they don't have to purchase and calibrate those high-grade European irons. And most Americans are too stupid to realize they're been dumped.

BTW- toothpaste isn't abrasive enough to do anything to hardened steel.
There is another recent thread about this topic where toothpaste as action smoothing is debunked.
