    It's a beauty, no problem shooting surplus ammo. My understanding is the 'M' designates a stronger firing pin specifically designed for military surplus.
    I don't mind cleaning the salts, it's a piece of cake. Add to that a walnut stock and fantastic open sights, and you've got a great little bush gun that I can shoot all day and not break the bank.
    I own one. Can't find anything about "M' designating stronger firing pin?? The 2014 CZ catalogue does say gun is designed to shoot steel case surplus and may have some issues with some American brass cased ammo!!!

    Sorry, I can't remember where I read this, but it was probably over on the CZ forum. I've heard the 'M' stands for 'Military' firing pin, and also 'Modified ignition system' either way, supposedly made for hard primers on surplus.
