About the CZ

CZ firearms or CZ (which stands for Česká zbrojovka) is based in Uhersky Brod, a small town in the southeastern Czech Republic. CZ has its start in 1936 as a subsidiary of CZ Strakonice, which was itself a subsidiary of Zbrojovka Brno. The arms industry was growing quickly in Czechoslovakia at the time, and Uhersky Brod was chosen since it was secluded and lay beyond the range of German bombers, which, in case of an invasion, would target the arms factories first. The factory initially mostly produced pistols and small-caliber rifles; however, when German forces occupied Czechoslovakia in 1939, the company was renamed to Böhmische Waffenwerke and was forced to make machine guns, such as LK-30 and MG-17, for the German military.

After the end of World War II, the Soviets gained control of the region and the company was nationalized by the communist government, producing air weapons, machine guns, submachine guns, motorcycle and sewing machine parts. In 1957 the company started production of the Model 58, and in 1961 they introduced the world-famous Model 61 Škorpion machine pistol. The year 1975 marked the release of yet another popular model, the CZ 75 pistol which many manufacturers have since used as basis for their own products.

CZ once again became an independent company in 1992 following the fall of the Soviet Union. In the decades after, they have continued production of a variety of weapons seizing the market of law enforcement and military firearms with service pistols, assault rifles and grenade launchers with which they also helped equip the Czech army. They have strived to widen their presence on the international markets, opening a facility for assembly and repairs of CZ pistols in Peru and spreading production of their firearms (certain models of the CZ-P10 pistol) to the United States in 2019. As of 2021 they employed around 1500 workers.

CZ 512 Tactical Rifle Review

CZ 512 Tactical is a semi-automatic rimfire rifle first introduced in 2015 and is, as the name suggests, a tactical version of the CZ 512 rifle inspired by the design of AR rifles. The Tactical features a cold hammer-forged barrel and aluminum-alloy forend and receiver. It also has an ergonomic pistol grip and a length-adjustable polymer stock. The safety is a crossbolt positioned at the rear of the trigger guard. When the safe position is engaged, it blocks the bolt and hinders trigger movement. If chambered in .22 LR, the rifle comes with a 25-round magazine as a standard.

Which rifles have interchangeable mounts

This rifle has interchangeable one-piece and two-piece mounts with every rifle that has an integrated Picatinny rail. Because it has a flat top, care has to be taken to select a high enough mount, so that the bell of the scope does not sit on the rail.

Our recommendations for mounts

Fixed mounts

We recommend purchasing these Rusan Picatinny Tactical Rings. These high-quality and sturdy rings are made of aluminum which makes them perfect for the rifle's aluminum receiver.

Detachable repeatable mounts

Here we recommend these detachable repeatable Contessa Picatinny rings which are of good quality and come at a relatively low price.
