Has anyone here done the 22 Reed conversion to your CZ52? I'm thinking about buying one just to convert it.

Well, I guess I'll be the first here to try it .  2500 ft/sec out of a handgun, it should be fun to shoot.

That does look cool! I don't have a CZ52 yet, but that may just cinch the deal!

About CZ52s, does anyone still make the better quality rollers and firing pins? I know Makarov.com used to have them, but it's been a while...

I bought one a while back. I've only made up one batch of ammo. It was a little too
weak to cycle the slide. I haven't had much time to play around with it since then.
The big thing that amused me is how much more potent the .22 RE is out of a handgun
than the 5.7 is out of a rifle. *grin*
