got my first soviet blaster last week and shot it first time today>production 1953>military refurb 1977>lots of extra goodies: 4 mags, firing pins, rollers, springs, etc.felt pretty good and made a really nice group first tryonly problem is the safety fucking up my thumb webbing with my usual grip. Might look into removing it somehow (the safety, not my thumb)didn't shoot a lot tho. 7.62 tok is hard as hell to come by where I am, so for the moment the only ammo for it I have is the 5 packs I got with it
of course I fucked up the pic
main reason I got it was the unique actionalso being able to compete in .32 caliber (if I manage to find more ammo)
>>64454521That's great, don't forget to dry fire it a lot, those firing pins are not brittle as fuck at all. Also use the decocker often, it's not like the decocker acts like a second trigger when contact surfaces are worn out.
neat, they are cool guns and fun for collecting for sure. shooting its ok; i prefer a tt33 style though
>>64454588I know the pins are brittle. Looks like the previous owner did too since he changed itstill not gonna dry fire till I get a snapcap printed for it>decockerit doesn't have a decocker, anon
>>64454595>i prefer a tt33 styleI wouldn't have said no to one. It's a classic. But roller-locked action is what really made me buy it
>>64454615its a nifty design for sure; the best?? meh, but it works for what it is. ammo is pricey now so i wouldnt shoot it alot personally. its almost cheaper to get 5.7 these days
>>64454521cz52 looks cool and is mechanically interesting but the ergos are balls
>>64454600Push the safety lever up towards the slide... thank me later.. or not.. don't use it.
>>64454600it works as one lol
>>64454654lolhow tf did I not know that? don't think I'll be using it. Didn't feel quite as mechanically safe as on my m9>>64454650>its a nifty design for sure; the best?? mehlike >>64454651 saidit's interesting and different
>>64454588What the fuck is up with Czechs and making guns that aren't safe to dry fire
>>64454667Be aware that Kratochvíl brothers designed that pistol to fire 9mm and then, the soviets came. Check the slide for cracks after firing and inspect the rollers, if the rollers seems oblong it's because they are and you need to replace them or the slide will crack for sure.
>>64454721 We are so cool when it comes to firearms that we don't need to dryfire at all, we just shoot for real all the time..
>>64454730read up on that as well before I bought itbut thanks for the warning!(un)luckily I won't be firing it as much as I want since 7.62 seems to be dried up completely where I'm at
>>64454763The only thing you need to replace when you want to convert it to 9mm is the barrel. There will be a lot of failures to feed of course, because the magazine is long as fuck for the 9mm but the pistol will shoot, but look how thin the barrel is... it's amazing.
>>64454820>The only thing you need to replace when you want to convert it to 9mm is the barreldidn't know that actually. Might look into that
