Today is a family reunion for the Czech side of my family, so I'm taking all ELEVEN (11) of my CZs for show & tell.
Just remember, knowledge can be dangerous. What you have - they may want.
Has anyone here made a trip there? Where did you go and what did it entail?
I only looked at driving, but I'm thinking there maybe a train stop close and then either taxi or car. When i looked at distances a couple years ago, it was a 2 hour drive from Prague and that was by google maps. As you may know, GM isnt that accurate. btw, i dont like driving either here or there.
The wife and I visited Czechoslovakia back in 1979 and it took 6 months to get a visa to enter the country and many things were off-limits back then.
i had no problems since they are part of the EU or whats left of it.
If you have visited any of the factories (Uhersky Brod, Strakonice or BRNO) or the main store in Prague, did you buy anything to bring back? Did you have any trouble with customs? One of my cousins who is a LEO here in the states brought back a rifle from his visit about 10 years ago and auctioned it off at our family reunion. This was before I even knew about CZ.
I've been to the Prague store a couple times. Last year was my most recent. I bought and sent back some t-shrits and a book. Same t-shirts as you can get here too. I should have bought a couple more books, but i will do so when i make it back. The books were in CZ but had lots of pics. Growing up on Playboy, you can get an idea on what the text is about...LOL. I didnt even think about bringing back anything firearm related. The world has changed in 10 years. Im sure i could "import" something, but unless its something really rare, i wouldn't even considering.
I'd like to pick up a CZ92 while there, but I understand that it isn't approved for import into the U.S.
Any information (or links to sources of information) would be helpful.
One of our local dealers sells alot of CZs. He was able to make it into a CZ tour. But he told me that it wasnt planned and more like a impromptu. There was a show where the CZ dealers were attending and he just happened to get invited to go.
you can google the address for the factory in CZ and look for it on GM. its hard to miss.
If anything and if you can go to Prague or CZ for that matter, i would jump at it. CZ factory or not.
one other comment. There is another "western" gun shop near the CZ shop in Prague. Everytime i tried to go in, it was closed.
