Give the Man time. He'll get back to you. I've never had Anthony not answer an email,and I send him plenty of them.
Really? Regardless of the contract I love these rifles and for functionality and smoothness of the action I prefer them to pretty much all of the German wartime mausers I've ever tried. However the scope of German rifle's I've examined has been quite small. All of the VZ-24's I've seen have been of excellent quality.
If Anthony has any more of these rifles I'm going to buy one and write a paper on them. I've been looking for a nice example for years (rampant lion or not).
I thought the canvas slings were sewn, and the leather loops buckled through them?
I don't have one on hand, but as I remember the actual sling was two fixed loops at each end of the sling.
Nice guns in any event.
No way are those Russian Capture refurbs. Not a chance. If they were RC's, they would have been converted to K98k pattern like the East Germans did to their VZ24's.
Far more likely that they are simply from a former soviet state, but are czech refurbed.

Jeez, you guys! The VZ-24 is one of the finest rifles of all time, yet it seems like nobody knows anything about them? Remember, the VZ-24 came from Czechoslovakia, which was controlled by the Commies. They were probably re-furbed as a make work project. The VZ-24 was widely used by the German army after they took over Czechoslovakia, but it doesn't appear in photographs as often after 1940. They are really well made rifles, and I think they are worth the price.
