My favorite C&R rifles, these were my first two of this kind. I need a 1952 and a 1957, then a VZ-52/57 to have all the she years. Then to get one of each year from each of the two factories... will it ever end?

No, its the backside of a Cheaper than Dirt special, I can't ID the camo but it resembles US woodland, only brighter colors.

Sweet. I sold mine a few years back because I couldnt feed her.
Has the ammo situation improved ?

A year or two ago Century found a horde and ammo was cheap and plentiful. Of course I didn't get as much as I should have, they are out now. Smart guys bought tons of it and now parse it out on gun auction sites for 300-400% markup in small lots. No other source. I have 300-350 rounds stored, but I have a chamber insert in the light colored one, despite the bad stories it works for me, I fire Wolf through it all day long. Going to keep the other one as-is, just in case Castro dies soon...

I considered the chamber insert but given the corrosive nature of most of the 7.62x39 ammo available I didnt think it was a good idea.

I should have kept the rifle however and have been kicking myself in the ass over it ever since.:(

Sorry Ezra, this is one weapon I've never been able to warm up to. I think it's butt ugly and the ammo is scarce and of very poor quality. Bad primers, and the most corrosive primers I've ever seen. :eek: But to each his own the farmer said . . . as he kissed the cow!;)

Ezra Coli,
Very nice. I too would like to expand into other Vz's but the ammo thing keeps me where I am. It's why I went with the 52/57 to begin with...I like shooting the guns I buy...you are gonna hate this, but I'd only looked for about a week once I "decided" I wanted one (a Vz- 52/57)! I just fell into the gun I bought.
Some days being lucky is not such a bad thing.
