Terry,
Having lurked here for a while I have great respect for you and many of the other posters. I looked over a CZ but I've never tried interchanging parts, so I take your point. I've only got two Mausers of my own, an FN and a Brno 21H ( which I got in part because of some of your posts) and I like them both a lot. I think it's an interesting discussion anyway.
I'm not trying to knock the Zastava - de Haas, who certainly has a lot more real experience than me, did say he thought they were basically sound, and it sounds like they have had good periods and not so good ones.
I've seen the progress reports on your mini-action and am looking forward to your posting when it is completed - looks like it will be a real beauty! I've got an early .222 Sako L46 that is quite nice, but surely not as nice as yours will be.
