1891-38 Mosin Nagant (7.62x54r) (NEW 11/29/10)| Commonly known as the 91-38 these rifles are a bit of an enigma. They're made from cut down M1891 rifles & usually have original Imperial Russian markings on the barrel/chamber area. They were modified to approximate to the M1938 carbine. It's believed they were mfg in Czechoslovakia due to the T marking usually being found on them, it's not believed they were used by the Czech military but may have been another example of weapons mfg there for supply to "sister" Communist countries. They did show up in DDR useage & were known to have been used by the DDR Border Guards. The rifle shown here is an earlier import in vg condition based on an Imperial era Tula rifle. |

1952 Vz52 & Vz52/57 series (7.62x45) (ALL NEW 11/29/10)| This series of rifles (Vz52 in 7.62x45) was developed by the Czechs in the late 40's just prior to total Communist control of the Govt. it was based on pre-war design work in Czechoslovakia & adopted in 1952 in 7.62x45. It is a semi-auto design w/10rd magazine & permanent side folding bayonet attachment. In 1956 total control was assumed by the Communists & in response to Soviet efforts to get all the ComBloc countries to adopt Soviet arms the Czechs instead chose to modify their own rifle, the Vz52 to use the Soviet M43 7.62x39 round which resulted in the Vz52/57. Examples of both are shown here, in addition there is a little known & extremely rare sniper variant of the VZ52/57 which used a Czech mfg copy of the Soviet NSP2 IR scope set. These rarely seen sniper variants are believed to have been used by Czech Border Guards. |
