That CZ sxs looks like a twin to my Turkish Hugli, marketed here for awhile under Liberty II name. Got it for CAS.

That's because it is made by Hugli for CZ, along with other types of shotguns. They're probably the source for CZ's walnut, or at least know how to track it down out there in Turkey. Always quality wood, sometimes absolutely stuning, which makes it hard for me to pass up, regardless of what caliber it is.

Oh, and the Colt Custom Shop SAA rig went to someone for $1200, NIB. That's a couple hundred less than current stock models. Fancy case hardening on the usual parts, with "blued" parts like the barrel some sort of black-chrome plating, or something very high-tech looking. Nothing like that existed in that era, but it even caused me to look two or three times, especially since the original buyer paid over $2400 for it, and only spun the cylinder once.

Does CZ USA do work on the Hugli shotguns? After the Liberty II distributor faded, I figured I had an orphan. Be nice to have a solid shop for it here in the states.

The Custom Shop Colt SAA sounds like a beauty, as well as a great bargain.

My only stroke of luck was with BP pistols. Had ordered a Pietta Remington NMA 1865 .44, blued finish. Liked it so much that after two weeks phoned EMI for another. Nice lady pulled up first order, paused for long moment and then told me that she was shipping the 1865 NMA with the next consecutive SN. A happy day.
