cz 52

I recently purchased a cz52. I don't really know much about them. But it was a really good price, so I took a chance. Everything looks good. Matching numbers, good condition, etc. However, when I research the internet, some say that the safety lever de-cocks the pistol. The information is very vague...

Re: bought a 91/30 now i have questions

My T53 looks like it was used as a hammer. Much worse condtion I think than yours. Yet I love mine to death. That is the history speaking. http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd56/catcracker6/T53/000_0003-2.jpg http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd56/catcracker6/T53/000_0004-1.jpg Sounds like your sh...

Re: The Great Gun Guru Smiled on this unworthy subject...

What can be said that hasn't already been said. That is a spectacular find. I would be making a fool of myself doing a jug, heading out the door, if that had been my deal.

Re: WZ-48 .22LR Military Trainer

Our local chain of stores got some in about 6-8 months ago. Some a bit rusty. But most good. I got them to lower the price a bit. So I got 3. They didn't last long. 4 stores had them for about a week. Seems like you never see them. Than BAM, you see a bunch.
Thanks for the post.

Re: Finally..My classic firearms M39's

It kind of takes the fun out of getting a new surplus gun if it is all cleaned up when you get it. I got to say, I feel the same way. I also agree with a few other quotes. You know (pretty much) nobody has messed with it when you find them all greased up. And you go get to know your rifle very well...

Re: New to reloading

I started with a Lee progressive. I use it one stage at a time, as I am also new to reloading. I have not had any problems so far. Lee may not be the premier set, but to start, it was the right price. :2cents:

Re: Hi, Colt here. Can someone Help, 8x68 WwII Mosin rifle?

Subject title got my attention.
Remember to clean the rifle as soon as you can. Corrosive ammo is fine to shoot. Very economical. But you must clean it ASAP. Or risk corrosive damage.
Nice gift.

Re: 1972 Romanian M1969 Trainer

Nice rifle. This model was the second rifle added to my collection. First C&R purchase from AIM. Pretty accurate. I didn't notice the trigger being bad. The hard task with these are finding original magazines. The after markets work fine though. I only have one original magazine. I am always on ...
