CZ 512 Tactical licence concern?

mattimahoe

Hi folks, I have a CZ 457 (.22lr) already and am thinking about a semi-auto for T&P etc. I would prefer to stick with CZ to be able to share magazines between the 2 and I also prefer the pistol grip format which would be the CZ 512 Tactical - I'm just wondering if anyone out there has licenced this or if there have been any issues because it has "Tactical" in its name?

I know the Ruger 10/22 pistol grip is quite similar in appearance and seems to be far more common and I've seen a few in use at the club but thinking CZ as I really like the 457 and it would be just easier have one set of mags. This tells me that there is no real issue in licencing rifles in that format but again, given the world we live in, "Tactical" maybe be seen as a dirty word.

No problem, this comes up quite frequently.

Naming convention wise there is no issue whatsoever, and nor is there with licencing a CZ 512 as it is just a non restricted rifle(provided the mags are 10 and under).

Folks have licences for S&W M&P 15-22s, Tippman M4-22s, etc with no issue.

There is a law on the books which essentially says "if it resembles an assault rifle then it is restricted", but this has been noted by the Garda Firearms Policy Unit to essentially be unworkable as a definition, so no worries there.

Go for it and enjoy! :)

Thanks for that, I'll give it a go and hopefully no problem.

I have a CZ512 myself and they are a very accurate little rifle straight out of the box. Keep the Chamber and Trigger area clean. Enjoy

Don't write Tactical on the application form just CZ 512, easy answer.
