Vz 52/57

[domain007]

Just curious, what would a VZ52/57 be worth now a days? Receiver matches the stock, but the upper hand guard doesn't match. I haven't really played around with the rifle yet so i don't know if anything else matches. Appears to be a '58 production SHE factory. Let me know what you guys think#

Upper handguard litterally never match. I read somewere they were import separately...
I paid 800$ not long ago for mine at a gun show. I paid too much tho... But there kinda rare and i really wanted it. Yours looks pretty nice so you should be good selling it between 800-900 range easy. Just my opinion...Or keep it, its an awesome gun��

All mine were matching Even had the scope rail.

It's missing the front sight hood. Can be obtained but is still worth noting.

You mean the rifle is worth nothing? I'd agree More with frankiboi666 with it being worth ~ 800. None the less where can I get a front sight hood?

 

[yomomma]

Noting...as in note- ing. Not to be confused with nothing as in not a thing

You bought a serial number. Did you buy any ammunition? Have you tried to strip it?

I had one and sold it without firing.

its chambered in 7.62 x 39 so ammo is reallky easy to find. just got the rifle two days ago, will be shooting it this weekend. Anyone know how to clean the gas system from corrosive ammo?

I would never shoot corrosive out of my 52/57 not worth the hassle, This isn't a 150$ SKS...lol...

Plenty of good videos on youtube how to strip it.

A vz52 in 7.62 x 45 sold this weekend at auction for $650 so that is like $850 all in with buyer premium and HST in Ontario.

I've got a VZ52/57, all matching, mint and unfired. Wouldn't think of parting with it any less than $1000.00. Maybe that's out to lunch, but try finding one as good for less.

Agreed. The rifle is just too rare, and valuable compared to the (still relatively) cheap and ubiquitous SKS. Buy the non-corrosive.

I concur. The gas system is a piece of precision machining and is not worth running the risk of corrosion by using corrosive ammo.

 

[domain007]

I guess you can say, if you can afford this rifle, you can afford non corrosive ammo LOL

I love these rifles. Built like a tank.

 

[zeegler]

I want one so bad. Gotta wait for my bonus.

I paid $199.00 at Lever Arms back in the mid 1980's. A spare magazine was $10.00. I would have filled my basement with them if I had thought they would appreciate this much.
