This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''CZ 452''' also known as '''BRNO Model Two ''.22'' Rifle''' is a series of [[magazine (firearms)|magazine]]-fed [[bolt-action]] [[Rimfire (firearms)|rimfire]] [[repeating rifle]]s manufactured by the [[Czech Republic|Czech]] [[firearms]] manufacturer [[Česká Zbrojovka Uherský Brod]] (abbreviated "CZ-UB", English: ''Czech Weapons Factory — [[Uherský Brod]]'') and imported into the United States by [[CZ-USA]].  Most versions of the 452 rifle series were discontinued in 2011 and replaced by the [[CZ 455]], although CZ continues to offer the CZ 452 American in a left-hand model, with the [[cocking handle|bolt handle]] and ejection port located on the left side of the rifle.

During its production life, the CZ 452 was produced in several versions with various [[gun barrel|barrel]]s, [[Stock (firearms)|stock]]s and [[gunsight|sight]]s for a variety of rimfire [[Cartridge (firearms)|cartridges]] such as [[.22 LR]], [[.22 WMR]], [[.17 HM2]], and [[.17 HMR]].

==History==
First introduced in 1956 as the BRNO Model 2 (ZKM 452), the Model 452 is a refinement of the CZ Model 1 (ZKM-451) .22 calibre rimfire bolt-action training rifle that first appeared in 1947. ZKM is an acronym for Zbrojovka-Koucký-Malorážka, the rifle's manufacturer ([Česká] '''Z'''brojovka), designer (Josef '''K'''oucký) and '''M'''alorážka - for small calibre).<ref>Zveřejněno 29.4.2010, ''Kalendárium: 29. dubna 1969 – Počátek Unikátní české zbraně CZ 75'', vložil admin, www.svornost.com</ref><ref>Fencl, Jiří, ''Zbraňaři par excellence - Bratři Josef a František Koučtí (2. díl)'', http://www.valka.cz, 31 January 2015</ref>	The Model 1 or ZKM-451 was developed on the request of the [[Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia|occupying German authority]] in 1943–44, when a very few rifles were built as fully stocked Mauser 98k type trainers. The receivers of these early .22 training rifles were marked ''tgf'' (''Tschechische Gewehr Fabrik'' - German for Czech Rifle Factory) by the German [[Waffenamt|Heereswaffenamt]].((source?|date=January 2023))<!--German ordnance codes (3-Buchstaben-Codes) were actually randomly selected; on a forum it's reported that tgf was only used from 1948--> Because of wartime requirements for combat weapons, assembly and production was halted on all .22 training rifles, leaving a large stockpile of parts and receivers at war's end.  After the war, these parts (some of which still have the ''tgf'' code) were used along with new barrels and stocks to make the Model 1.

== Common Features ==
The CZ 452 features a [[carbon steel]] barrel that is threaded into the [[receiver (firearm)|receiver]] frame, except for rifles chambered for .17 HM2 which have the barrel pinned to the receiver.

Rifles of recent manufacture feature [[forging|hammer forged]] and [[lapping|lapped]] barrels.

The receiver has a [[dovetail rail]] for mounting a [[telescopic sight]].  The dovetail is either 11&nbsp;mm or 3/8" depending on the version and cartridge.

The [[trigger (firearms)|trigger]] mechanism is adjustable for weight of pull.

A detachable box magazine is used for feeding.  Magazines are available in 5- and 10-round capacities for all cartridges, both in steel and plastic.  A single-shot adapter and 25-round magazine are also available for use with .22 LR and .17 HM2.

== Versions ==

=== American and Special ===
The American is equipped with a 22.5" (572&nbsp;mm) sporter weight barrel.  The barrel and receiver have a polished and blued finish.  They sit in an American-style, straight-comb, Turkish [[walnut]] [[Stock (firearm)|stock]] with checkered grip and fore-end, and is trimmed with sling studs and a hard plastic butt plate.  It was offered in limited quantities with beech, maple, and fancy walnut stocks.  There is no provision for iron sights, as it is designed for use with a telescopic sight.  The American was chambered for .17 HM2, .17 HMR, .22 LR, and .22 WMR in right-handed rifles, and for .17 HMR and .22 LR in left-handed rifles.  Currently, the left-handed version is still in production.

Versions were offered with either a 16.2" or 22.5" inch barrel with the [[Muzzle (firearms)|muzzle]] [[Threading (manufacturing)|threaded]] (1/2" x 20 threads per inch (TPI)) to accept a sound [[suppressor]].  Adapters to allow attachment of U.S. standard (1/2" x 28 TPI) suppressors are available from several manufacturers.

The Special is identical to the American except it is provided with a matte blued finish on the receiver and a [[beech]]wood stock that is otherwise identical.

===Varmint===
The Varmint is equipped with a 20.5" (521&nbsp;mm) straight tapered varmint/target barrel.  The barrel is polished whereas the receiver has a matte finish; both are blued.  The barreled action sits in a varmint-style, straight-comb, walnut stock having a checkered grip with a modest palm swell and a flat-bottomed fore-end, and is trimmed with sling studs and a rubber butt pad.  There is no provision for iron sights, as it is designed for use with a telescopic sight.  The Varmint was chambered for .17 HM2, .17 HMR, .22 LR, and .22 WMR.

===Lux, Trainer, and Standard===
[[File:Australian Air Force Cadets using the Trainer variant of the CZ452.jpg|thumb|Australian Air Force Cadets using the CZ 452]]
The Lux is equipped with a 24.8" (630&nbsp;mm) barrel that is provisioned with [[Iron sight#Adjustable sights|tangent sights]]. The barrel is polished whereas the receiver has a matte finish; both are blued.  The barreled action sits in a walnut stock in the European-style with checkered grip, schnabel fore-end, and arched (curved) comb sometimes referred to as a Bavarian or "hogback" stock, and is trimmed with European sling swivels and a hard plastic butt plate.  The lower drop at the heel and arched comb of the stock are designed to aid shooting with [[iron sight]]s.  The rear tangent sight is graduated in 25 meter increments with calibrated markings from 25 to 200 meters, while the sight leaf is adjustable for [[windage]]. The hooded front sight blade is adjustable for elevation.  The Lux was chambered for .22 LR and .22 WMR.  A left-handed version was chambered for .22 LR.

The Trainer, also known as the Special or Special Military Training Rifle, is a [[cadet rifle]] identical to the Lux except it is provided with a [[beech]]wood stock that is otherwise identical.  The Trainer was chambered for .22 LR and .17 HMR.

The Standard is identical to the Trainer except the grip of the [[beech]]wood stock is not checkered. This and the Trainer is in use with many cadet organisations, a few being the [[Australian Air Force Cadets]], [[Australian Navy Cadets]] and [[Australian Army Cadets]].<ref name=":0">((cite web|url=http://www.aafc.org.au/|title=Australian Air Force Cadets|last=|first=|date=2020|website=AAFC|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080908053543/http://www.aafc.org.au/ |archive-date=2008-09-08 |access-date=12 April 2020))</ref>

===Ultra Lux and Super BRNO===
[[File:Cz452 tangent sight.jpg|right|thumb|A tangent sight on a CZ 452 [[Rimfire ammunition|rimfire]] rifle, with calibrated markings for ranges out to 300 meters]]
The Ultra Lux is equipped with a 28.6" (727&nbsp;mm) barrel that is provisioned with [[Iron sight#Adjustable sights|tangent sights]].  The extra length of the barrel is intended to improve sight radius and thus accuracy when using open sights.  The barrel is polished whereas the receiver has a matte finish; both are blued.  The top of the barrel is marked "SUPER EXCLUSIVE" and the trigger is gold plated.  The barreled action sits in a European beechwood stock with a checkered grip, a Bavarian-style comb that also features a cheek piece, and is trimmed with European sling swivels and a rubber butt pad.  Early in production, 110 rifles were made with a walnut stock.  Unlike the Lux and Trainer, the tangent sight is calibrated from 25 to 100 meters in 25 meter increments, and then extends to 300 meters in 50 meter increments.  The rear sight leaf is adjustable for [[windage]], while the hooded front sight blade is adjustable for elevation.  The Ultra Lux was provided with a 10-round magazine, and chambered for .22 LR.<ref>((Cite web |url=http://www.cz-usa.com/data/downloads/common/CZUSA%20Catalog%2007.pdf |title=CZ USA 2007 catalog |access-date=2007-10-18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071030091332/http://www.cz-usa.com/data/downloads/common/CZUSA%20Catalog%2007.pdf |archive-date=2007-10-30 |url-status=dead ))</ref>

The Super BRNO preceded the Ultra Lux.  It is essentially the same; however, the finish of its beechwood stock has an orange hue, the top of the barrel is marked "SUPER BRNO SAA 2500," the trigger is silver in color, and it was provided with a 5-round magazine.  These are reported to have originally been produced as training rifles for Egypt, who refused, at which point CZ made them available to the public.  Production was only 2,500 rifles.

===Scout===
The Scout is a compact rifle intended for young shooters, with reduced stock dimensions, reduced weight, and a single-round loading device. The reduced stock dimensions and weight also make it suitable for smaller adults.  The single-round loading device helps teach [[ammunition]] conservation and [[marksmanship]].  It has a shortened beechwood stock with a straight, slightly dropped comb, and a blued metal finish.  It also uses [[Iron sights#Open sights|notch and post sights]].

===Silhouette and Style===
The Silhouette was designed for small-bore [[metallic silhouette]] shooting competitions, and to meet the requirements of the [[IMSSA]]. It is essentially a CZ American action and barrel in a synthetic stock with a raised comb and cheek piece.  Blued metal finish.

A version was offered with a 16.2" inch barrel with the [[Muzzle (firearms)|muzzle]] [[Threading (manufacturing)|threaded]] (1/2" x 20 threads per inch (TPI)) to accept a sound [[suppressor]].

The Style is identical to the Silhouette except that it features a matte [[nickel]] electroplate finish on all metal surfaces except for the bolt and trigger assemblies.

===FS (Full Stock)===
The FS, short for Full Stock, features a carbine length (20.7") barrel and a [[Mannlicher–Schönauer]]-style full-length Turkish walnut stock with checkering on the pistol grip and forearm.  The FS features the same tangent sights as the Lux and Trainer. The dovetail rail on the receiver accepts either 11&nbsp;mm (for 22 LR versions) or 3/8" (for 17 HMR and 22 WMR versions) scope rings.

===Grand Finale===
Released in 2017, the Grand Finale is a limited run of 1,000 rifles to commemorate the CZ 452 line.  It follows the pattern of the CZ 452 American, but features an oil-finished walnut stock with ebony fore-end tip and grip cap, is hand engraved with a high polish blued finish, has a gold plated trigger, and features a custom metal magazine floor plate.  It is provided with matching engraved and high polish blued scope rings.

== Variants ==

===CZ 453===
The CZ 453 is essentially the same as the CZ 452; however, it is equipped with a fully adjustable single-set trigger.  Some components, such as a different trigger housing and unique action screws, differ from the CZ 452 to accommodate the single set trigger, and thus the CZ 453 trigger cannot be retrofit into a CZ 452.  Three versions were produced: American, Varmint, and Lux.  The American and Varmint are essentially the same as the respective CZ 452 version.  The Lux is akin to the CZ 452 version, but features the modern stock of the CZ 527 Lux, which features panel checkering on the grip and fore-end, a cheek piece, and a rubber butt pad.  The Lux was only offered in 22 LR.

===CZ 513===
The CZ 513 Basic (or ''Farmer'' as it is known outside the USA) is an economy version of the CZ 452, and with a 20.9-inch barrel and an uncheckered beechwood stock.  The trigger is not adjustable, and the rear sight is a simple notch and post type.
