If it is based on when the dealer received their shipment, then i suppose the question would be "which dealer has the freshest cz-82's?".

I would like to know that answer myself. I mean, are most of the dealers ordering their cz-82's from Century; is Century (or whichever distributor) expecting a new batch soon? Anybody got an extra clue? I've been debating a cz-82 or one of the Bulgarian Makarov's or something along those lines, but i don't want to end up sending a $200 pistol off to be coated or having to replace much beyond a firing pin or springs.

I've also wondered whether the Yugo M57's that Gander Mountain occaisionally stocks are as good as what is available online. Since i just picked up a CZ-52 at the local gun show (

$250 ), it would be nice to have something else to share ammo.
