VZ 52 x45 to x39 Adaptor Kit. Any experiance?

[Frost Cracked]

I've found the possibility to purchase a VZ 52, that has NOT been converted from 7.62x45.

I've found that there is a conversion insert available... but does anyone have any experience with using this kit? How much would the accuracy diminish from going to a (slightly) smaller bullet. I mean, I'm not expecting sub MOA, but if it REALLY messes up accuracy I'd be more hesitant to go for it.

I did a lot of research, Back when I was looking for a Vz52/57, and the general consensus is that the adapters are junk and pop out over time.

So wait until you find a 52/57 took me 4 weeks on EE with a WTB add. But I had a few offers around 1000$ that I turned down...

Unless the 52 is dirt cheap under 400$ I would buy it. ammo is hard to find as well...

You have to be an experienced handloader to buy that gun in 7.62x45. You can convert 6.5x54 Mannlicher-Schonauer and .220 Swift to 7.62x45 and there is a fellow on the internet that has a web page dedicated to this. He also sells from his website, home made 7.62x45 brass cases.

I read what he asked, someone already answered him, and I offered an alternative if he still goes for the 7.62x45 Vz 52.

7.62x45 is not hard to find. Nobody needs it. Half a year ago it took me 2 months to get rid of a crate with 7.62x45 ammo. I'm still being offered that ammo during my trades.

Yup. Never had a problem finding it.
