Ultimately, I decided to pick one up. Things are starting off a little sketchy, when I took the forearm off for the first time a nice pile of reddish-brown debris fell out with it. Looking in there was some more between the barrels in the portion of the gap not covered by the rib. Naturally, I assumed this to be rust/corrosion. I called CZ immediately and was assured that this is just leftover flux from the soldering operation and that in no way will it affect the function or longevity of the gun. A quick google search seems that some others have had this experience with no adverse effects yet, but time tells all. Neat little 28ga for under 1k. Seems front heavy for some reason, even though the balance is right on the hinge. Will shoot it this weekend, as long as it goes bang and the POI is within reason, I will consider myself satisfied.
