CZ-512
Notes: This new
rimfire rifle (introduced in 2011) is designed to provide a high-quality rimfire
rifle that provides a long service life, better-than-average accuracy, and safe
handling. Operation is by blowback,
like many rimfire weapons. However,
the CZ-512 has a manual safety as well as several passive safeties to guard
against accidental discharge. The
iron sights provided are fully adjustable in the front and rear; the rear sight
is in the “scout” position and the front is protected by a large hood.
The iron sights are designed to be easily read and adjusted.
In addition, special rails atop the receiver as well as grooving and
tapping allow for the attachment of most civilian scopes.
The stock is of beech, making it a little less expensive than comparable
designs; it is, however, lacquered to the point of making it look like more
expensive wood. The 20.6-inch
barrel is cold hammer-forged and provides a bit of an edge in accuracy.
While the furniture is wood, most of the receiver is made from
high-strength polymer, lightening weight.
Sling swivels are standard.

ZKW-561
Notes: Though
this rifle was designed by the Koucky brothers, it was manufactured by CZ.
It is a compact semiautomatic rimfire rifle which can easily be stripped
and serviced without tools. The
stock of the rifle is similar to a smaller version of that on the ZK-420 battle
rifle. It has a small aperture rear
sight and a blade front sight, but is meant to be used with a scope – mounting a
scope is quite easy on this rifle.
Later, the
ZKW-561 was refined by CZ into the CZ-511, and sold in large numbers.
The CZ-511 has a beechwood half-stock with a refined pistol grip wrist, a
two-position rear sight, and a threaded muzzle for use with a silencer or
suppressor.
