Ok his story checks out.
That’s a shame that someone would think they were capable enough with a tig torch to do this. Not very capable in the least.

Tell me about it. I should have posted a pic of the other one. Must have close to a 1/4 stick of filler rod on the floor plate. I ended up grinding as much off as I could today. Still looks like crap on the bottom but no noticeable from the side view.

Oh it’s coming. Apparently this guy is in and out of this gun shop quite frequently. As am I. Bound to run across him sooner or later.

Decent looking refurb. Is there a date stamped in the sling notch? Without a sling or cleaning kit,I'd say the value would be in the $400-450 range. If the mags were done correctly they'd be worth around $75 each.

Any help when mine was refubished? OTK-2 97 is stamped in the rear sling slot.

Picked this up on the weekend. Always wanted something in x39 that was not an SKS. It's in good to vg condition. Cool little gun I must say. The gas system is different. Took me a while to figure out what I was looking at It came with three mags One what Im going to call good one and two that have a delightful pin job. I guess bubba n' fudd decided they were a good project to learn how to pin mags and tig weld. Going to have to clean them up a smidge What's the going rate on a VZ52/57 these days? Just to compare what I paid for it.

Man, that's so ugly, it's pretty!
