Cz82 your thoughts?

Nope, I don't agree with them. Marlin calls their box magazine fed rifles clip fed, even though they don't use a clip in any shape, form or fashion.
I contest that they called it that for lack, on their part, of a better term.
It shares a lack of sharp lands and grooves with polygonal, but that is where the similarity ends. They have nothing else in common.

Anyway, mine gets higher velocities than my Mak, due to the rifling.

So does Weatherby, but onlyAR gun guys get their panties in a wad over it.

Can't find a respected professional reference where it refers to that rifling as something different.

You realize of course that "polygon" may have an infinite number of angles and thus legs (sides) and at a point where this number of sides grows very high: a polygon is indistinguishable from a circle to the human eye if constructed of regular equal vertices.

Thus polygonal rifling may very well lack strong corners, as you have so adamantly claimed.

Personally I don't care what you call it. It shoots great and its cheap.

Not an AR guy.

Anyhoo, what I'd like to see is a commercial (semiauto) version of the Stechkin. 20 rounds plus a longer barrel would be sweet.

Yes, I realize that a polygon can have an infinite number of sides. However, that is a moot point. The CZ82 rifling doesn't have sides. It has lobes.

Whatever the rifling, they shoot good once you learn how to use em. I can hit a gallon jug at 40 yards offhand fairly regular now that I've shot 200 rounds through it.
