I'm afraid you would not get far alleging fraud in a case where a firearm failed to feed a cartridge correctly. Since the rifle was manufactured in the Czech Republic, presumably it underwent proof testing and was certified safe to shoot with standard ammunition. That should be enough to mount a successful defense against a charge of negligence, let alone fraud, which is an offence involving criminal intent. Case dismissed!




My first thoughts when reading this went something along these lines. Because not only was my CZ550 presumably proof tested, it was shipped with a test target.

That is certainly a well stocked Cabela's you have near you, if you can go pick up ammo for a .505 Gibbs. What brand of ammo did you use?

The reason I ask is because my second thought went something like this: CZ USA is just the importer; CZ is still the manufacturer. All their firearms are tested at the Czech proof house before they could be offered for sale. And the Czech Republic is a member of C.I.P., which is analogous to SAAMI but for Europe, so the Czech proof house would conduct its testing according to the same standards as those in Great Britain, Spain, etc. I'd hazard a guess that CZ would have chambered their rifle according to whatever dimensions the certifying body says are the dimensions of the .505 Gibbs cartridge.

If the ammo they used in the Czech Republic was dimensioned to C.I.P. standards and the ammo you used wasn't, I could see a problem. The dimensions might differ.

I don't really know much about the .505 Gibbs, but I do know that was a potential pitfall when manufacturers thought about bringing back the .500 Jeffery. Dimensions of the cartridge and chamber varied between manufacturers.
