    I’m hardly an expert, but it looks to me like a welded spot. Therefore I would be very, very careful about shooting it. Looks like a job for Captain Laidler!

    That tube with the holes in it is actually the operating rod. My original VZ52 and my VZ52 conversion to 7.62X39 have the operating rod/tube without the holes, which leads me to think that the...
