Vz 59

[alexD92]

Johnone, are you going to sell accessories for it? tripods, scopes? etc.

 

[carbine3b]

I sure am glad for Visa

Man! I would sooo love to have one of those! The only downside I can see would be the belt. As I understand it, the belt is unique, with a tab that fits over the rim, so that it works as a "push through" rather than a "pull out". Since this design is post war, the belts would have to be 5 rounds.

I hope I'm wrong about this. (John, please tell me I'm wrong!)

Uses the Goryunov belt. Pre '45.

Now that's going to be entertainment!

ANYBODY who has used the BREN will feel right at home with the Vz-59, it is of the same "family" really nice piece of kit....
But the I do collect and like Brens & ZBs....

They'll find the cocking mechanism quite novel, too.

From the belt standpoint alone, the 7.62x54R version would be more desirable than the 7.62x51.

 

[chanman]

Like which ones? Either it's legal to import or it isn't...I know there are a few exceptions like the GSG-5...but I'm not aware of any others. Why would this get killed?

There was that lot of semi-auto MP7s that fell through earlier this year/last year too, I think.

 

[koalorka]

I'll definitely grab one. Coolest thing to make its way here in the last few years IMO.

So does this mean Marstar will FINALLY be able to release their stocks of Czech 54R for sale again???

Or the range fudds if you can get the tripod or AA mount for it.
We have a local range that has quite a few fudds, restrictions on "apropriate" target types, etc. I'll pay the day fee just to see the looks on their faces.

 

[sillymike]

Yep, this will be great for moose hunting...

Now I only need to find a cheap source for sandbags for my watch
(who would have thought I'd want to fill some more of these...)

 

[zZ_denis]

Any word on when these will be available?

 

[tiriaq]

Possibly Feb. - March.

There is lots of S&B 7.62x54 for sale at other dealers (picked up a case the other day) Why can't Marstar sell there's ?

I was thinking it would be a good gopher rig...

I always grab 3 or 4 crates every trip to EPPs Last month I freaked them out by stuffing 9 crates into my Rio5, I thought the tires were gonna blow out

#1BC SHOOTER;
S&B 7.62x54r fmj is NOT approved for sale in Canada, we received orders from Natural Resources to cease sales.... or else....

It's just that Czech ball that is verboten? What about China?
