CZ93X62
Official forum enigma
Only ever one M/N derivative at my house, but I like the little contraption--a Romanian M-44 carbine that found its way into the gun safe some years ago due to some poor guy's Divorce Fire Sale. (Seem that film my own self. Lousy production, and the theater really stunk).
Ahem.
I haven't tried to grenade the carbine, the little monster has kinda grown on me. It isn't Camp Perry-capable, but it will stay up with most 30/30 leverguns of my acquaintance when it comes to grouping potential. I just landed some Sierra Matchkings for the blasty little critter from "462", and those will get a test-drive later this year. It is significantly more powerful than any 30/30 when loaded to its full potential, and it has done good things with castings to 200 yards. It dotes upon the Lee #C312-185 at 1600-1800 FPS, sized @ .311".
It is a GREAT little truck rifle, and goes along behind the seat of the pickup or Jeep with some frequency. I carry it in Condition 4, mag full/chamber empty. Somebody in Russia c. 1891 had their head screwed on right--the cartridge rim design basically defeats "rim lock" with its angled profile. I have set up rim lock scenarios with empty brass in this rifle, and a sharp forward push on the bolt handle overcomes the condition very reliably. The SMLE.......um, not so much.
