SOLD SCARCE CZECH VZ 52/57 7.62X39 RIFLE……… MINT UNISSUED CONDITION…..CAPTURED IN GRENADA IN 1983

HERE IS SOMETHING FROM BACK IN THE DAYS OF PRESIDENT REAGAN WHEN I WAS BUT A WEE LAD.  WE HAVE A MINT UN-FIRED CZECH VZ52/57 RIFLE  WHICH IS THE SAME AS THE  VZ 52 RIFLE BUT MADE IN THE NORMAL RUSSIAN CALIBER OF 7.62X39 FOR EXPORT. THIS RIFLE WAS FOUND NEW IN A PLASTIC BAG ON THE COMMIE ISLAND OF GRENADA WHEN WE INVADED IN 1983 DURING OPERATION URGENT FURY.  A SMALL NUMBER OF THESE RIFLES WERE FOUND IN A WAREHOUSE AND THEY WERE UNISSUED AND STILL IN LARGE CLEAR PLASTIC BAGS.  I STILL REMEMBER WHAT A BIG DEAL AND HOW EXOTIC THEY WERE BACK IN THE DAY BEFORE THE END OF THE COLD WAR.  THEY WERE PROBABLY THE LAST WAR TROPHY’S THAT UNCLE SAME LET COME HOME.  LORD KNOWS NOTHING DECENT HAS COME BACK (LEGALLY) SINCE, WHICH SUCKS. IT IS JUST SO UN-AMERICAN NOT TO BE ABLE TO BRING HOME CAPTURED ENEMY WEAPONS ANYMORE!!!!   AT ANY RATE THIS CZECH RIFLE IS KIND OF LIKE THE THINKING MAN’S SKS;  IT IS VERY WELL MADE AND VERY ACCURATE. THIS ONE HAS NEVER BEEN FIRED AND STILL HAS COSMOLINE IN THE NOOKS AND CRANNY’S. IF YOU COLLECT COLD WAR ERA WEAPONS THIS HAS GOT TO BE A REAL PRIZE.
