Vz52/57 find...

[Len]

I managed to snag a Vz52/57 today in my travels. It really falls outside my collecting interests but I've always liked this weapon and finding one that shoots readily available 7.62x39 was a plus and so it came home with me. I believe the rifle's been refinished as it has a flat black blueing or phosphate over all the metal save the black enamel painted magazine and what looks like a purple anodization on the bolt. The sheet metal gizmo that acts as the op rod bears a different serial # than the rifle and the stock serial is stamped over an older number. I haven't taken her down any further to see what other serial #'s are there. There are no import markings on this one and the bore is in mint condition. Unfortunately the cleaning kit's missing and she came with only one mag. Here are some pics.
