Holek would go on to design the ZH-29 rifle, and CZ would move on to a series of other designs that ultimately led to naught.<\/p>\n<p>You can see my video on the ZH-29 here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JvI92kOwV4U\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JvI92kOwV4U<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ForgottenWeapons Sold at auction for $97,750.
