Picked this up to go with retro AKM build. A Commie rifle has to be paired with a Commie pistol!

A pristine Czech 1954 CZ52 in 7.62x25 Tokarev or 7.63 Mauser. I was in the shop on Saturday picking up my 1957 made Ruger MK 1 22 pistol, and and saw it., I could not make up my mind. Well, I went in to the shop today, after drooling over it all weekend (he is closed Sunday and Monday). We talked a little, and I ended up getting it for $480 +$25 CA DROS! He dropped it because it only had 350 rounds of ammo left for it. Besides the ammo, it came with two mags, cleaning rod, and excellent Czech holster.

Serial number is FK05802, and it has "rid" after the serial number, and "54" (year of manufacture, IIRC) on the other side by the crossed swords proof. Finish is 98%+ and the bore is excellent, with no pitting.

The ammo is lacquer coated with sealed primers, and a headstamp of Cyrillic letters that almost look like "cym" or maybe "aym" and a stamp of "53" under it. It is packed in square boxes, 250 rounds apiece, though one has only 100 rounds.
