Why are people like this
I'm not entirely sure what that is to be honest
Unless it's an svt...
Are you fucking retarded
It’s a chromed (for some reason) VZ 52
Might be a 52/57
I'm not terribly well versed in Czech arms
So yes I am retarded what of it
Plenty of people have made “not an AK” (Czechia included)
Very few have made “Not an SKS”
The vz52 uses an entirely proprietary bolt and gas system
It has nothing to do with the sks minus being later converted to it's caliber
It resembles a gewehr semi in overall format
But the front tilting bolt and concentric gas piston are exclusively czech
Right so it's a Czech semi-auto rifle that is contemporary with the Garand, G43, and SVT
It has oddly futuristic gas system but yes
The VZ is unique in that it has an incredibly smooth and robust gas system, and being entirely concentric around the barrel, the barrel is the piston guide
As well as zero tilt or rotation
Huh
It’s not really comparable to the SVT or Garand
It’s in an intermediate calibre
Hence “not an SKS”
I don’t mean it’s a clone or copy, rather that it’s a ten-round intermediate carbine with a folding bayonet
What caliber?
7.62x45 in original 52 configuration and then x39 in 52/57
I hadn't heard of that Cartridge
M1 Grand
Just say that and I'll be the drop of a hat away from stabbing someone.
oh man don’t you just love M1 Grants
I went to the Tanner Gun show
And I was at this table, and this dude was selling stuff and some AKs
"American made!"
Yeah, I know, Boomer McFuddstein
hard pass
