The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

Here is a rifle that I had been looking for, for some time. I finally found her one day along with a Finn M91. If I had been thinking straight I might have bought the M27 sitting there too. In any case, here she is.

Cool rifle J, I just chased one on GB but it got away from me. I should have run a little bit harder.

I had one get away from me as well on GB. I called the store and they wouldn't sell it as a C and R gun. So I passed. BTW I got a better deal on this one anyway.

Great pics! I've always thought this was such a cool looking rifle. Can you get ammo for this or is this a hand load only?

How does this shoot?

Nice! I wonder how many people don't know about the VZ-52, and think its just some sort of wierd SKS?

I've got 30 rounds, but I've never shot her. I've been looking for more ammo, but its expensive. I read somewhere about reloading, but I haven't gotton into that, yet.
The first one I ever saw, I thought it was an SKS.

I've got a set of dies for mine, but still trying to locate some brass. Read somewhere on line about converting brass to fit this rifle. Still looking into this as the surplus ammo i bought had hangfires. Nice looking VZ.

That is what I thought the first one I ever saw in person was. It had that rhino liner on it, so it was hard to tell what the hell it was.

Yeah me too. I remember a post on the old forum I had about one I saw. Same exact way, Millman.

Forum speak for "I should have paid more".

Been there.... Done that.

Cool rifle J!

Very nice piece

Nice loking CZ made Vz52. Is the cleaning kit in the butt?

Man, I missed a lot in the early days of this forum! Sweet rifle Jumper. As I posted in Woodbeef's thread, I am going to do some reading on these.

thanks unfortunly it does not have the cleaning kit

I missed this one, looks like we got two of them on the board

I hunted this one for a while. Now to find a sight hood for it as as well.

Quite a few of the Vz52 are hoodless for some reason. But I've never seen a Vz52/57 missing one.

thedealershowroom.com often has complete cleaning kits,but they sell out fast.

You can use 220 Swift or 6.5x53 Carcano brass.

Quite a few of my brass cased 7.62x45 had neck splits when I opened the cardboard boxes I found,no hangfires though.

very nice rifle, i saw one on gunboards for sale yesterday
