I recently picked up a VZ 52 and was wondering if there was a cleaning kit inside the butt stock. I have not been able to find any info on the web on how to remove the butt plate.
I depressed the latch on the top and tried pulling back on the butt plate plate but it didn't budge. There seems to be some sort of pin on the bottom of the plate but does not press in. I just didn't want to force anything and cause damage. Can anyone explain to me how to properly remove the butt plate?
Well I got it off :clap:....the butt plate cover?....I guess is what it would be. There is a butt plate underneath with two holes where the cleaning kit would go. I simply depressed the latch and pressed back near the latch with a punch...it just required some muscle :o. The bottom of the cover slips over the pin I was referring to. Boy is that thing tight, I'm glad I got it off though as there was some rust on the butt plate and inside the cover that I cleaned up with some Rem-oil. Unfortunately there was no cleaning kit inside...(emotional sequence) :yikes: :banghead: :crying:
