Manufactured in 1958 as an updated version of the VZ.52 rifle chambered in the Warsaw Pact standard 7.62x39mm cartridge rather than the proprietary 7.62x45mm cartridge, making these rifles popular today despite their relative scarcity. This example remains in standard military configuration with chrome lined phosphate finished 20 - 3/4" barrel, hooded blade front sight, tangent rear sight, side folding bayonet, phosphate finished receiver, black enameled dust cover, detachable magazine, and yellow finished hardwood stock with cupped butt plate. Complete with sling, magazine pouch, and a spare magazine. CONDITION: Very good overall. Bountiful amounts of arsenal finishes are retained throughout with only light wear and handling marks. Stock likewise only has a few minor impressions and handling marks. Very fine bright bore with well defined rifling. Mechanically fine.
