Just got my hands on a beautiful 7.26x45 VZ52. Mostly matching serials, but a perfect barrel/bore and stock. looks like it was never fired (I know that it probably was). Anyway I've been finger-fucking this beauty for a few hours now, sooooo....

Where do you even find 7.62x45mm?
>>28032664
You don't. Occasionally gunshows.
>>28032664
You get lucky
Good find OP, that wood is fucking beautiful. Not an easy feat with 52s
>>28032664
No fucking clue, but I got 60 rds of it as part of the deal
>>28032664
Just press a ak barrel in it.
>>28032694
seems sacrilegious
Its just such a cool OP system
>>28032703
Also seems like it won't fucking work. The piston for the short stroke of the 52 fits around the barrel and needs a close fit. You would have to make a shank somehow to go under the piston, and that's not even getting into what needs to change about the trunnion area.
>>28032757
apparently conversions exist, and have been done. but it would probably be cheaper/ less fucktarded to just buy a 52/57
>>28032846
Conversions require a collar attached to the chamber in some way. Then, you're hoping your bore is still clear and that the collar wont fly off with a case as you're shooting. It's always a better choice to find a 52/57, even though you'll pay a good bit more for one.
>>28032654
glory be to Czechnology!
>>28032878
when the factory retrofitted the 52's, they essentially shortened the breech end of the barrel by 6mm and re-chambered slightly. but I'm not sure your average gunsmith could do that outside of a czech factory
>Mostly matching serials
Why do people say this? It is either matching or it isn't.
>>28032654
Quick google search turned up this for ammo.

STOP. POSTING. THIS. IN. EVERY. CZ. THREAD.
>>28033021
>$1 a round plus shipping
Shit, even the gun show prices aren't that bad. Close, but not quite
Finally i have excuse to post my Czech guns
>>28033125
What's middle left?
>>28033672
looks like a CZ 52 to me, owner'll confirm though
>>28033033
Can't stop me, you can't do Jack shit about it except to bitch.
>>28032925
Hammer back in the holster.
"This is how muh nunhteeen level supposed to be carried just like when it won dubba dubba two"
>>28032654
damn... that's like an sks meets an enfield. I want one.
>>28033125
The wear on that far right CZ-75 is glorious.
>>28032664
unfortunately you don't. That's the main reason why I didn't buy a vz52 for $250.
Great business opportunity, anon. Start manufacturing 7.62x45 rounds, and all the czech fags will love you.
>>28033672
>>28033741
Can confirm it is a vz 52 but stupid phone wont upload photo because its huge
>>28035972
gib
>>28033125
what's with the drilling on the rear of the vz61? got sbr papers in the mail or something? or did it come like that?
>>28033021
>$1 a round for intermediate caliber ammo
>>28032664
I had to buy the dies and make my own. Thankfully I got them, 200rd and a batch of reformed 220swift brass for $200.

>MFW you became the obnoxious CZ trip
God fucking dammit
>>28034270
Are you suggesting that he manually lower the hammer or something? Are you retarded?
>>28039622
Nothing wrong with manually decocking.
There's even a half cock for it.
In fact, I just decocked my CZ, didn't notice anyone dying.
>>28032664
I think PPU makes it.
Here is mine.
>>28039617
I have evolved, to become this.
>>28039617
Good job favor now another fag makes cz's look gay
>>28032664
Hard as fuck to find but its not a big deal, they make barrels and conversions to shoot 7.62x39. Takes 5 minutes to switch.
>>28039913
Sexy gun, finding ammo....not so much.
Just saw a vz52 rifle in a local pawn shop. I think it is a x45 variant too.
crown and rifling took good and everything else appears in good shape.
what should I try to pay for it?
I don't have a reloading set up either. so it would just be a safe queen until I can move someplace where I can set up a bench.
>>28042455
>what should I try to pay for it?
About tree fiddy.
>>28032654
>looks like it was never fired
>7.62x45
Looks like it's going to stay that way.
>>28039617
Wait no, I'm Goy now instead of Guy.
>>28033125
How is the 52? I keep seeing them for a decent price around the area and have a need for czech surplus pistols.
>>28042861
I own one. They're ok pistols. Like shooting a TT or a really hot .40sw.
You will have to replace the firing pin and rollers with new made though. surplus ammo and mags are available and reasonably priced.
only downside is that the pistol weights two pounds.which makes any sort of carry difficult. as it will want to pull down your pants.
