CZ: Well, with the current ammo situation that is exactly what is holding me a bay, just a little bit. Truly the source my reticence so-far. Dedicating (relatively) big resources for a gun that can or will be only used sparingly just doesn't make a lot of sense at the moment. Easing into these waters carefully, more-so than normal. It's not like I don't have other options.

Stan: We had a Valmet or two in my time at MW Reynolds and they were very interesting units. That sliding hood over the breech, much like the Remington 32s (& the French design that Remington pilfered that I can't now-recall) is what I remember of them. Don't think I've ever seen a dedicated LH gun from them, but who knows?
