I know, I need a 7.62x39 CZ.
That IS a darling little carbine. I love the CZ 527s to begin with and saw a Youth Model 7.62x39 Carbine on sale and snatched it up. It's everything I imagined in terms of handiness. Very short, light and handy. It was not on my short list in terms of NEED, but, man, I wanted one in the worst way and I sold some stuff I just needed to sell anyway and bought it.
This is mine compared to my 222 American with a 22" barrel, which is also amazingly light and handy, and you can see just how much less of the Carbine there is to thread through brush or behind a truck seat. These things shoot! It's my third 527 and it is a gem. All of the magazines have needed about 20 minutes of special attention, but nothing else on any of them was in the least bit "wrong." This one "fit" me so well that I bought a used Youth Carbine Stock to put on my 222 American (not pictured) and am thinking about cutting the barrel to 18.5" or 20". It's strictly a cast-bullet gun and I'm not looking for top velocities - I have a 223 if I want more range.
Just wanted to share that these truly are wonderful little guns.
