Some time back I picked up a .177 pellet gun for the amazing price of $19.99.
Made in China? Check
Hefty real wood stock? Check
Rifled barrel? Check.
One-cock 700fps (claimed) action? Check
Dipped in cosmolene? check
Actual velocity 350-700 fps, varies from shot to shot? check
Pellets that fail to engage the rifling and tumble inside of 15 yards? check.
It turns out the thing may not be so bad after all, after the manufacturing burrs are removed, and the preservative goo is carefully removed, which requires complete disassembly of the rifle. Did I mention that there's no instruction manual for this?
I finished doing some additional deburring tonight. Range reports will be forthcoming.
On an unrelated note, the Hunter brand holster, model # 3324 53S fits the CZ82 just about perfectly. I got one at the gun show for $5. Happy happy, joy, joy.
and workshop. It's a fine workshop. Me and my assistant, Mr. Scratch.

OMFGIH! Spot on! Bravo!

They can't all be reports on ultra-long-range high-power sniper rifles on reactive (Achmed! Someone's shooting at us!) targets.
Sometimes you gotta report on how to keep the Yugo running.
