Stupid post of the day: can a Vz.61 Skorpion be converted to NR?

[groundskeeper willy]

Had a random thought of could a .32 Vz.61 Skorpion be converted to a non restricted?
Perhaps using a Lee Enfield barrel as a donor and be machined to work?
Just a random thought.

It's classified as a rifle (barrel length makes it restricted)
So a non restricted barrel would make it non restricted .
Wouldn't make it pretty though

It would be a hideous beast.
Maybe hide the barrel under a fake suppressor....

Yessir ,much like the BRS-99 with NR barrel ,needs the mock suppressor to make it look non-ridiculous with that spaghetti .

I do have a BSR 99 with suppressor and love the gun.

ive been thinking about this also actually

Hmm... not sure the .32 ACP has enough oomph to clear an 18.5" barre land still have any zip?

It must be at least as good as the various black powder .32 fired from singleshots and lever actions back in the day. There was even .32 rimfire single shot rifles.
I'm sure it would have enough zip to put holes in cans at 50 yards.

Id be willing to throw down cash on a barrel if someone could make me one.

ive actually been thinking about this for a while, should be easy to de register seeing as its a short bbl rifle

I (occasionally) shoot 32 ACP and 32 S&W Long out of a chamber insert out of a 20" barreled 30-06 Tikka, and they clear the barrel, but talk about a rainbow trajectory!! IMHO, putting a long barrel on a Skorpion would render it about as useless a teets on a bull.

It would be ideal for rabbit and squirrel defense. Much the same as subsonic Lee Enfield handloads. A Rook SMG.

Pic is cool but result is busy!

i am looking at something here
but frankly I dont know where to focus my eyes so this picture makes any sense

 

[Juster]

An everyday object from an unusual angle? An upsidedown vacuum cleaner? I can see carpet.

 

[hollowedpoint]

That must have horrible handling characteristics!!

 

[BlackBrant]

Sheesh ,the fake suppressor is not TOO bad ,but the rest of that stuff just does not belong on there ! Oh well........

It would definitely work without the extra crap. Maybe if it had handguards that looked like an extension of the upper receiver instead of the fake suppressor, foregrip and optic, the fixed stock might work.

Otherwise, I'd rather have this:

Now that I think about it, if you took a Škorpion, added an 18.5+ inch barrel, FAL-type fixed stock and handguards, replaced the stock pistol sights with adjustable rifle sights and perhaps installed a more angled grip, you'd end up with a pretty nice rifle.
