OK now, I think I've got the handgun ID'ed…
CZ75?
I'd like to lecture you on putting a name to each picture, and I'd even love a spec sheet, but that is asking too much, and on your own tag LOL!!! 😂🤣 So I won't! But I can promise you, I have posts coming and I will be around "The PEW" a LOT! I do like that little WARWICK, and believe it or not, I want to make a straight pull bolty in something like 300BO subsonic. SO MUCH BETTER than having a clanging action breaking the near-silence of a properly loaded 'cat sneeze' or 'mouse fart' load. One can cycle the action as needed, and slowly and quietly, at an advantageous time. I have a sweet Henry H-001T which is the 20" octagon barrel. I have shot the regular standard velocity rounds w/o ear protection, and that is the 1080 fps loads. No action cycling, and all the noise goes out the front. 👍 A long barrel 300BO with a straight pull bolt could be the hot ticket!
Ooo, so close but no cigar...CZ Shadow 2. I'll pay it though.
Bloody hell mate, spec sheets? It takes me ages to do my posts as it is. I'm literally writing one on OAL right now and it's already 1350 words! I'll have it up later. I could put a name on the gun in future though, shouldn't be too hard. (I usually do actually.)
That Warwick WAF1 is a nice little shooter. AR15's aren't a thing here for most people so it's a good substitute. They do a 300 Blackout version. $3,439AUD ($2,222USD) in todays money. That's standard though, mine is not. (Mine owe's me over $7,000AUD all up.)
Anyway, I better get back that post...Trying to write technical stuff in a basic way is hard. I'm looking forward to some The Pew posts, just remember, no self-cross-posting. It seems like you'll have a lot to add and I'm looking forward to it.
😂
CZ is one of the last few remaining items on my 'colleting list' of worthwhile items to find, even in a relatively well populated set. I have a very nice CZ knock-off in the Tanfoglio Witness Hunter 10mm,
but I'd still love a CZ in 9mm. Had a really good chance to buy a 75B for only $400 which had a trigger job by my good bud Reaper... Really should have grabbed that immediately. 😢 I did get a really sweet Ruger GP100 from him with a trigger job, the single action is quite crisp and clean, and even the double action is very smooth. I describe Reaper as a 'backwoods gunsmith'. He's an old lumberjack from Maine, and much like you, he is well rounded and very experienced. Great Guy!
Cross posting? I won't waste my good stuff on 'steemit' :D
At worst I will just reference it and drop a link. Until Justin Sunny Boy starts flagging that LOL
I'm working up a clone plan on that Warwick, not an exact one but I think I can do the 300BO look alike rather faithfully with relatively common pieces, except the upper receiver. It's a back burner project, but one I have had incubating for a bit.
I really love my CZ handguns. I started with the P-09, which I still have, and now love shooting the Shadow 2. They really are very well made, reliable, accurate and not fussy which is nice. There's other guns I have and like, but I keep coming back to these two.
Make sure you post about your 300BO build.
