I acquired this pair recently , a Hungarian icon

M52 & a Czech icon

Vz52/57. The sniper is in great shape and is all matching including the scope. The Vz is a mismatched rebuild that saw little or no use since its refurbishment. Here are some pics.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Nice Pics...What does the Czech icon

52 shoot. Didn't they switched Rounds awhile back.

Didn't they switch between 7.62x39 and a proprietary 7.62x45 round? I have a few of the 7.62x45 rounds kicking around.

In answer to your questions the Vz52 was originally chambered in 7.62x45. Later they were pressured to standardize ammo with the other Warsaw Pact members and the result was the Vz52/57 in 7.62x39.

I been collecting Czech icon

Weapons since the early 90's. The one I had was chambered for the 7.62 x 45. I didn't have it a year when someone offered a Great trade for it plus it was hard to find that Round back them. I could only get them at Gun Shows mostly made by Reloaders. Now my collection has dwindled down to there early Handguns.
