http://www.aimsurplus.com/product.aspx?item=F1WZ78 A bit of history, though not that long ago. Would be a nice one to have I think, doesn't look like it's C&R.

I saw those and thought about it, stil thinking about it......

[gewehr44]

Yeah, I would have jumped on one if they were C&R. I wonder when they were manufactured?

Given the model number of 78, I'm guessing 1978.


In the late 1970s a semiautomatic .22 rimfire training carbine based upon the AKM/AKMS rifles was designed, to be manufactured in a pilot series in early 1980s. Regrettably the ‘Talk’ series has not been adopted by the Polish Army. There were two other .22 rimfire rifles, repeaters, designed in Radom at that time, the kl.154 (kbks wz.78) and kl.153 (kbks wz.79). Although developed in Radom, these were not manufactured there, as a decision was made to move all civilian arms production from there to Wifama in Łódź.
