Where did you find yours?
Also is the front night sight significantly dimmer than the rear?

Saw the deal pop up on slickguns.com.
Got it on iammo.com. I got lucky. They sold out the same day it was posted.
The front sight is just as bright as the rear.
My front sight is super dim. I sent an email to CZ asking about repairing it, but haven't heard back. Hopefully sometime today.
I love mine, though.

That's a bummer. Saw a similar issue posted here:

Haven't had a chance to shoot mine yet.

Purchased just before the end of June: 1896 Webley-Scott .455 WG (all numbers matching, not shaved for .45ACP thank the Lord. I added the lanyard), Winchester 1894 (1896 mfg in .32-40. Sale included die set, cast bullets and misc cartridges and a hard case. Bore is shot (pun intended), but the ol' gal sure looks cool in her very old age.), S&W 34-1 (actually my wife bought that), and a sporterized Lee Enfield (pics later of the poor bastard. Its a Mk IV so far as I can tell, with a somewhat nice but mild customized yet part original stock, but it has the charging bridge cut off and a shaved bolt handle...what was up with that...).

It was one of those moments when the brain said "Hey, that's a Webley, and it looks cool"...and all restraint was subsequently lost...

Pics of the other June purchase: Lee Enfield .303 Sporterized. Appears to be a Parker Hale Sporter. Charging bridge machined off, as was half the bolt ball. Bore cleaned up nice, and action still smooth.
Original stock, now reduced with a thumb groove arched on the left forestock. Have not de-coded all proof marks, but its looking like a 1941 Mk IV to start, and probably went through the FTR program to go to Parker Hale between the late 50s to early 70s. Not worth restoring with MK IV full wood due to the charging bridge gone, but appears to be a solid hunter. I'll send lead down this weekend and see how it stands up.
