This is a VZ 52 she Czechoslovakia rifle 7.62x45

 

This was a parts gun missing the stock & hand guard I paid $200.00 for the parts but little did I know the wood was very hard to find ! So the hunt begain ,,, So I came across a guy that had 4 stocks but no hand gaurd so I worked out a deal for the stocks $41.00 shipped and they where in bad shape, they had cracks some where even dry rotted but I didnt care.

Then I found a 2nd guy that had the hand gaurd so I worked out a even trade for 2 of the stocks, then sold off the last stock for 55.00 shipped.

 

After hours of gluing, patching and sanding then staining and clear coat its solid again.

 

I test fired it sunday with 15 rnds everything worked ok but it had some light strikes on the primers so when I returned home I pulled it apart and found the firing pin was worn so I added some steel with my mig welder then reshaped it and it looks good now but I wont be able to test it again for a couple weeks.

 

Now the hunt for the ammo !!

 

The gun is resting in the stock before the repairs the best of 4 picture below.
