I recently did a big tour of Czech Republic and 5 surrounding countries. I spent more than a week in Czech itself. I visited with the CZ factory and I also visited with the guys from Gun Expert Sa58 (great guys) we talked shop and the owner showed me his impressive vault of various weapons and some of his customized accessories... but my favourite was my invite to the CSA factory in Jablunka. Fantastic people who treated me real well. and gave me a complete tour of the factory and...the ranges.
Tomas Quis set me up to meet with several people while I was there.This is Miroslav Novák
He is the Research and development guy for CSA. When there are defects or potential problem indicated on a firearm this is the person who runs through the firearm and finds the problem and solves it. Fantastic person and all around knowledgeable man.
CSA was a little hesitant about pictures but I was allowed to take a few. The factory isn't up to picture quality in their view and they will be building a new factory come 2017.
I took several pictures inside but I will not post any with the workers due to respect. The production manager Petr was a great guy too and you should have seen this guy shoot full auto O,O Deadly accurate aim I must say. Anyway here are a few parts from inside the factory...
Here are the tanks where they chrome the insides of the barrels for all the chrome enthusiasts LOL Again I was limited to what I was allowed to take pictures of for security and other reasons and I was very respectful of that.
Here is a couple pics of the 2 ranges
outside but I only have this side of the range
and the indoor range but only took an outside pic of it
While I was there I got to try out some secret projects and several full auto rifles including but not limited to the compact in 7.62 X 39, the sporter in .223, some VZ61s one of which was a 22LR prototype
Here are a few vids Enjoy!
