In the unlikely event I get a CCW in Maryland,

Mainly its just for coolness.

Was it as good as pictured? Where did they slap the import marks?

You should have bough two, one for you and the other for the wife or girlfriend.

Congrats on your first C&R purchase. I hope that you enjoy it.

Be careful, buying surplus firearms can be addicting.

Remember that's 9mm Mak or as James Bond calls it 9mm short.

Karl/PA · 04-12-2015, 07:43 PM

OK, staying in the same caliber, your list should include PA63, EG MAK, Russian MAK, (forget the others) and the creme de creme, CZ 82.

RTO · 04-12-2015, 08:36 PM

To add to Karl's list although not C&R eligible the Bulgarian Mak uses the same ammo.

I purchased the gun, but it hasn't actually arrived. By purchase I mean with the credit card. I'd like to get the CZ-52 pistol, possibly the rifle as well. I wonder if the rifle uses the AK round or something else. I've heard it told both ways.

RetVet · 04-13-2015, 03:05 PM

The rifle is the VZ-52 and no it doesn't use the same round as the AKM or SKS. It's 7.62x45, a unique Czech round that's not produced commercially and not to available surplus wise either unless you're willing to pay through the nose for it. Very corrosive as well.

I lack an E. German Mak and a Chicom one as well. Got the other cases covered though.

Got my P-64 a few years ago from Dan's for something like $129, minty new. Import marked under the frame in front of the trigger guard. For me, import marking is what makes or breaks a deal. I refuse to buy anything with a billboard on it no matter how rare or collectible.

There were some converted to 7.62x39 by the Czechs. How practical is the conversion?

Did the Czech's do the conversions or was that a Century Arms change? I know Century has rechambered several rifles in the past. Some of the Enfield .410 muskets were altered to handle US 3 inch shot shells and some MAS 49/56 rifles were made to use .308 verses the French 7.5

7.62x39 Czecks are tough to find. Right up there with scoring a deal on a Rashid.

Who makes good plinking ammo for it? Who makes hollow points for it?
