CZ 53
« on: April 12, 2010, 06:12:17 AM »
I recently came across a CZ53 in 7.62 Tokorev and was wondering if anybody out there has any background, historical, or interesting information about this gun. It is in a flap style holster with an extra clip pocket and appears to be made of pigskin.

that should be a cz52 chec surplus army pistol in 762x25, nice old pistols that shoot pretty good, horrible trigger, C&R eligible , has the roller locking recoil system it will throw brass into another zip code. you can reload quiet a bit over the 30 cal. mauser specs. slide should be stamped with date of 52-53-54 one of the numbers will be the year of production they were only made in those years. feel free to pm for any advice you need on it.
