The CZ 550 Carbine uses a Mauser-type, controlled-round-feed system with a large external claw extractor and fixed ejector. It feeds from a detachable steel box magazine and offers a 5+1 capacity in .308 Win, combining reliable cycling with practical field capacity.
The 20.5 inch cold hammer-forged steel barrel is paired with iron sights: a hooded front post and a ramped open rear sight with protective wings. This setup provides a durable, straightforward sighting system well-suited to the carbine-length barrel.
The walnut stock features a hogback comb, Bavarian cheekpiece, fine checkering, and a recoil pad. Sling swivel studs are installed front and rear, supporting practical carry with a sling.
The receiver has integral 19 mm dovetail scope-mount bridges. Markings include the CZ proof crest, "MADE IN CZECH REPUBLIC," and a 2012 C.I.P. proof year mark "12," aligning with the noted proofing. The original factory carton is labeled "CZ 550 FS," but the rifle itself is the standard Carbine configuration (not full-stocked).
