1954 CZ52 7.62x25 pistol acquisituion.

Did'nt realize ya'll had so many restrictions out there. Reading that makes me glad I'm in S.C.. Things are pretty laid back over here. Around here a CZ52 has to have all the extra goodies with it to fetch $200 on a good day. The guy I bought mine from had been trying to sell for a while at $350 with no bites. A mutual friend put us in touch and I offered $225 sight unseen if he delivered it. I reckon he was happy to unload it because he drove 110 miles round trip to bring it to me. That don't happen often, it's usually the other way round.
BTW, get a good aftermarket steel firing pin to keep on hand as a replacement for when the cast OEM pin fails. Some surplus ammo is notorious for having primers that are hard as woodpecker lips so the original cast pins have a high failure rate.

Thanks, I have heard of that. Who has the good firing pins in stock? Harringtons?

woodpecker lips

I just know they have to be nearly the noisiest pistol on the face of the earth.

Got mine from Numrich. Item no. 241790 is the one you want.

With milsurp ammo I agree, even if you missed an unsuspecting opponent with the bullet you're still likely to scare the poor bugger to death. With PRVI ammo they're quite tame though.

Especially with the Czech ammo. Almost US .30 Carbine, but in a pistol.
