This range report focuses on the CZ 527 Carbine in 7.62x39mm, featuring a new Boyd Gunstocks stock. The shooter tested Tula 8M3 124gr hollow point ammunition and random Wolf ammunition, evaluating group sizes at 100 yards both with and without a suppressor. While initial groups were inconsistent, later testing with Wolf ammunition showed improved accuracy, suggesting ammunition type may be a significant factor.

Quick Summary

The CZ 527 Carbine in 7.62x39mm was tested with a new Boyd Gunstocks stock. Initial groups with Tula 8M3 ammo at 100 yards were inconsistent (2.1" to 5.35"). With a suppressor, a significant POI shift occurred. Later testing with Wolf ammo yielded improved groups just under 1.5", suggesting ammo type is key.
