Nice gun.

You can also get a 9MM Parabelem barrel made by Norinco and switch it to 9MM with just a barrel swap.

7.62X25 MM is generally hotter than 9 mil but I never had any problems shooting it.

I like the 7.62 and have Tok's in both 7.62 and 9mm already. I'd suspect that a modified/alterante mag would also be necessary to insure proper feed, as the 9 is so much shorter. That's what they do with the Tok in 9.

No, same mags worked with either one.

7.62X25 is a bottle necked round anyway.

Got no worries about the 7.62 feed, but even regular 9 in normal 9 guns can get finicky. However, I just tried a 9 in the 7.62 mag and it seems to feed okay.

My most recent irresponsibility is a Helwan Brigadier. It's a license built copy of the Beretta M1951. The weirdest thing about it is the crossbolt safety like a shotgun has.

I has one: http://hectordefendi-light.devianta.....arev-458062394 (it goes well with my *other* 89 firearms) :)

I no longer own firearms. I do though own swords, battleaxes and bronze knives.

Handsome little pistol. I keep thinking I'll get a TT-33

I was about to say, those grips don't look communist.

They look more "70's rumpus room paneling."

If "...only a pimp in a Louisiana whore house carries pearl handled revolvers...", G.P. What carries a gun with rumpus room wall panels??

A 50-year old dad in Terra Haute, Indiana.

I'll likely get originals, as these are a bit full for my little baby hands

Still, damn pretty wood panels though. (", says the 52 year old, currently in Kansas).

....my-my there....it kinda sexy a little.....oddly enough I still have my lil pair even after this long....

....ya gotta keep the good onez.....

So who says irresponsibility? Firearms are important safety equipment!

Well, with a Mak, two Toks, a 1911, two Colt PPS in 32-20, a Nagant, and some cap-and-balls, I didn't really need another dust collector. But I always thought the CZ to be cool beans, and in 7.62.

Yaay for cap and balls!

'Navy' Colt and Remingtons

I've got 2 Colt style in .36. 1 in .44, and a Remington in .44. As well as an 1861 Springfield Rifled Musket in .58.

Other than the pain in the ass to clean it, I'd love to shoot my 1861 more often. I've never fired the pistols, mainly due to the cleaning needed. Don't know if I even have caps for them.

Easy way to clean it is a short length of aquarium air hose attached to the nipple and the other end in a pan of hot soapy water. use a tight fitting patch or bore swab and pump the cleaning rod in and out several times. Then repeat with a pan of hot clear water until the barrel gets hot then let it empty and dry. Then lightly oil.

Got my own method, but it is still a chore. Just put the breech end of the barrel in a pot of hot water and do the patch-pump action through the nipple/flash hole- rinse and repeat until clean and nice and toasty hot. Oil when done, of course. I always dismount the barrel, seen too many deep rust pits under the bands and stock.

I do that method with my Thompson Center Renegade.

Actually looks like a military one

Does it have a stamp of two swords crossed with a date? That's the military acceptance mark. Afaik, they never produced them for the civilian marked ( unlike the Vz 82 )

Do NOT dryfire it, also do NOT and I mean NEVER trust the decock lever. They are well known to have a serious "fire when decocking" issue.

Yeap, so it is a mil.

Blued or parkerized?


Some Czech company also made a 9P ballel of much higher quality than the chincom ones

Phosphated. Don't have any interest in a 9mm conversion. Only have the 9mm Tok because it is a common round. Same with the Mak in .380. I've got both milsurp and commercial 7.62 brass, and conversions from 9mm magnum and .38 and .357

parkerized is good, as a lot of them have been refurbished and reblued. You should look around for the original bakelite grips.

Got a pair and they make for a better hold, fit the holster better too.

I have one of those.

Fun little gun to shoot, and very accurate.

-Badger-

that's a nice pistol to shoot as well. Very smooth. since it's heavier than the Tokarex, and tighter, its just better to shoot.

the grips are just like the TT33 angle is awkward.

Only 7.63M/7.62T I ever found to have a nice grip is my Star MMS.

I've cut into the under the trigger guard area on my Tok for a little more grip area.

My brother bought one years ago, and I picked one up with my Curios and Relics Federal Firearms License (C&R FFL) when I first got it. They're pretty neat -- the action uses rollers and is based on a German machine gun. Aside from the 16-pund trigger pull (hey, it's a military arm, that's the safety!) it's fun and as accurate as my old eyes can shoot.

Have you checked out the really neat way the slide comes off? And how to pull the barrel? So dirt simple.

nice gat

Also has an Android charging port, so you don't need to buy a special charger for it.

I suppose there is some kind of electrical hardware joke in there that I'm not getting?

The black bit in the grip looks like a charging port.

My low level wish list for future guns, that I'll likely not bother with, considering how seldom I shoot anymore, would include some version of a Browning HP, preferably an older pattern, a revolver in .357, maybe a revolver in .44 mag, just for silly low power shooting (did up some squib loads with round ball that you could see bounce down range) and, finally, something in .22. An SVD would be Really Cool, but they have gotten crazy expensive and, again, since I shoot so seldom, my M.Nagants and SVT are more than enough.

I have a couple of the svd tiger carbines. Very nice rifles. Expect to pay at least 3500.00 each, now. I love the hipowers, managed to collect five of them, my favorite is the Canadian Ingles tangent sight model with the wooden holster/stock combo.

Way back when, I saw an Ingles with the stock/holster. Another 'fun' gun that I see on occasion is the Coonan. Very pretty and the idea of a automatic in .357 is just too cool.

There is a new production run of the Coonan. They are quite nice. I see the tangent hipowers with stocks at most Arizona gun shows but they are pretty high priced now.

I collect CZ handguns. Finest kind!

Likely a military model with aftermarket grips. These had a dealer price of $100. The Vzor 52 uses a hotter load than the normal 7.62 Tokarev round. Mine actually shoots more accurately with the 9mm NATO barrel than the original one.

Saw a PSL at a recent gun/knife show for $1800 with extras. The new Inland M1 Carbine will set you back $1100. There were used M4/M16 mags for $10 ea unless you want Colt, then double that. I found some made by Brownell's in the $10 bin.

CZ Vzor (model) 52, very cool weapon, sharing a roller locking system reminiscent of the mg42. I collect Czech handguns.

Way back when, while I was first thinking up infrastructure for Albedo/Erma Felna, I worked up basically the same thing as well on my own.

It's a very reliable system. Not sure why it wasn't ever explored further in pistols. The Czechs turn out some great weapons. By the by, if you need spares mags and can't find factory mags, the Triple K mags are fine, but I have a bunch so hit me up.

I have the 9mm conversion barrel in one of my 52's and it works very well! Does not seem to be very picky about 9mm ammo either. Do like the 7.62 round for more serious shooting though and I got plenty of surplus comblock ammo while it was cheap and easy to find. And you have an SVT in your collection, color me envious! Spare parts for your 52 are currently pretty inexpensive and easy to find still.

And it is not irresponsible either! Consider your collection as a last-ditch emergency savings account that you can use and enjoy while it appreciates in value.

The rifle side is more numerous but less sexy. Several types of M.Nagants, a small pile of SKSs, got them when they were crazy cheap ($69.!!) some AKs, an M1 Carbine (the first gun I ever bought) an 8mm Kropatscheck carbine from 1880s. A couple of 11mm Mausers, a couple 1907 Berthiers, and 30-30 and 32-20 lever rifles. A MAS 49-56 and a couple ARs. And for fun, a 1861 replica musket.

Very nice.

I get the same reaction from people when they learn I just spent three figures on a small brass Roman coin ... "but you already HAVE so many small brass Roman coins!"

"Yeah, but no one where the guy on it is wearing his second-best toga!"

They look at me as though that made NO difference to them...

The grip seems to be at an odd angle.

No, that's just the way it is on the CZ

Held mine up to the screen.....perfect fit! Military issued, but great condition.
I do like your grips though. Wish I'd gotten the slide release for mine when there was still good support for them.

Nice choice! 7.62x25mm is a hot little round.

Nice gun, but this grip panel ruins it's look. It needs to have some ribs on it.

Good pistol, the unusable slide release is a little worrying but you can get aftermarket ones that are actually usable.

Whatever you do, DON'T DRY FIRE IT. CZ52s have notoriously brittle firing pins.

Unusable slide release? Not sure what you mean here?

Even if it is a thing. Shotgun News has an Upgrade Kit to fix it.

My latest is a Helwan Brigadier. Egyptian license built copy of the Beretta M1951 in 9 mm Parabellum.

I loved the ones I owned over the years. Only downside to them is the design of the firing pin, they tend to snap sometimes.
