you're lucky to get the original box and cleaning jag with rod, but it'll have a new OEM mag in the wrap from IMI and a manual. the sights are basic 3 dots on most with a couple being meprolights. from the 941F's i saw, a couple have holster wear and i'm told that some were demo guns or used by security guards overseas prior to import; don't know the veracity of that.
Can confirm at least the overseas security guard thing. I have worked with many holster makers in an attempt to get a kydex made for a true, no rails long OG jericho. There are slight contour differences between the different releases/years. All of the ones I have gotten just have a slight wrongness to them that don't make them fit quite perfect like other guns I've used with Kydex. Right now, I carry him in a purpose made leather holster.
i can vouch for the CZ-75 or variations being very popular with private military contractors along with SIGs and 1911s, and a lesser extent the CZ99 and chinese clone (with the MP762 in 7.62x25mm Tok which if a very mean cartridge in a SIG pattern automatic with 15 shot mags). i dont know much about the armed security outside of some banks and places where they typically carry long arms like AKs or shotguns of one kind or another (Malaysian bank guards used to have the USAS-12 as a option).
Well, that's because the CZ-75 pattern is the greatest battlefield implement ever designed, after pants with easy zippers to piss and not stabbing the guy on your team.
The fact that the Czechs made a NATO caliber pistol under Soviet rule never ceases to amuse me. Their gun design was top tier trolling.
It was designed for the export market exclusively. and the reason it was copied so extensively was because the patents were considered state secrets and thus CZ could not defend their rights in other countries lest they learn of the existence of these secret patents (on pistols the Czechs would sell you anyway) it doesn't make sense but its what happened. just more commie non-sense.
Eastern Bloc insanity never ceases to amuse me.
PSA is making a serious run at disrupting the budget ammo market like they are for firearms. They are now making their own primers which is a major step in the ammo manufacturing market. They are looking to go head to head with Winchester and Remington for cheap ammo. They look to be in it for the long haul and are investing heavily in capacity.
there rumors they might partner with ATK to open a lead smelter in Mexico for bullets as well, bringing back the ability to 100% manufacture components from "friend shored" countries if not within the US proper.
Fucking love PSA, and really fucking love AAC ammo. Haven't gotten a bad box yet, price is good. When I need specialty ammo, I get it. When I need just some ammo, I always go through AAC if I can. If all the other ammo companies are cool taking the request to produce less stateside civvy ammo and instead focus on the LEO/Military market, fuck em. The other big ammo companies are commercial first, civvy second.
Yep, PSA is Based and Gun-pilled (and ammo, suppressor and accessory pilled as well)
It's amazing how many different designs PSA makes now. AR's of every caliber conceivable for a reasonable price, an ever-expanding line of AK's and now Glock gen 3 clones that take normal Glock parts. And it's all made in the US. I don't know how they do it.
unfortunately it's not all sunshine and rainbows, while most PSA rifles (uppers mostly that i've seen) have been alright, there's definitely some issues with at least the 1st gen AK i handled as well as their crack at an MP5 (which i'm very familiar with as an H&K armorer). for AR's the most common issue i've encountered was over-torque on the barrel nut which can make swapping a barrel a chore, and with an aluminum upper can lead to over stress and perhaps even failure in extreme circumstances.
Their AR's are mostly fine in my experience and I heard their AK's got better with each successive generation. Also most people aren't going to bother swapping a barrel on a cheaper upper.
We're they also marking .223 chambers as 5.56? Really glad my unit was giving us FN and DD when we went out the door by the time I was in.
two batches of USMC rifles were caught with that, yes and returned to DPMS, this was back when MARSOC was still a thing and was a competitive quote since they needed better carbine weapons and the XM4E1 was still in prototyping. the M4's burst wasn't good enough for Raider teams or VBSS, and the other options were to continue with the CAR-15 or beat up XM177's which was rejected for money reasons and the Navy refusing to share CAR-15 inventories, made keeping the M3A1 in inventory for a lot longer than you would expect. while you had some armorer making M16A1E1 lower + M4 upper abominations on the downlow, DPMS sold Panther Arms commercial uppers with DPMS MG lowers from their military export line to the USMC. the commercial uppers had .223 chambers, not 5.56mm NATO. this didn't immediately raise red flags because at the time, Colt and Bushmaster and Armalite all sometimes marked their rifles .223 on the receiver even though they were actually 5.56mm NATO on the barrel and it wasn't until later that they fixed the markings on the receiver to match the barrel.
I always wonder what things would have been like if they had made a version of the CZ75 in 7.62mm Tokarev, as a replacement for the CZ52 pistol. Warsaw Pact mandated a move towards 9mm Makarov for pistols, but with how nonstandard stuff was in general maybe they could have gotten away with sticking with the old pistol cartridge.
