Caledonian Arms VZ61

Yes, chin weld is interesting.

Scott did say that the next batch is likely to have a picatinny rail under the front end of the gun, which would then allow a bridge mount to be used for a red dot. The gun has the standard VZ61 75/150 metre flip over rear sight and the 75 metre setting is good for 20 yards or so.

Itching for a ported barrel and full length mod that gun....

Tell me about it... rather challenging I would say. This thing fells like it has been designed for a garden gnome, even smaller than a pint-size frog ...




After twisting my neck no end & consulting a local, I was informed that this is the Czechoslovakian army way to do it ... Initially, I must confessed I was not 100% convinced but was re-assured the local dentists do a very good job on the cheap ...





Skvele a vyborne !!
It works
Cheeky little plinker and I am glad to report I even kept all my molars in place ...

I remember that little thing... it was certainly interesting trying to get behind the sights, as highlighted in your pictures froggy... still good fun though!

Since it's 32acp (the one in the pic), is there any point in shouldering it to be fair?

[froggy]

I think you may have a point there !

I did struggle a bit with that as well, I decided in the end it was best used by pointing it in the direction of the target whilst held at chest height and watching where the shots landed. Not a precision tool, but probably very effective at very short ranges.

Well its native full auto form it was intended for short range, low recoil pray and spray so maybe some expect too much from it? And I might have a point I guess Froggie, just fold that stock under, line up and do the best to keep a sight picture, it can't be any worse than what I saw for eye relief in those pics.....

2 to the chest & 1 to the head is easy to achieve once you manage to twist your neck enough or get a decent "dental rest" sight picture ...

Au contraire ... I was told the Czechoslovakian army treated it as a serious weapon that you were expecting to shoot accurately ... good luck to them ...

But I still want one

Ray of optimism and you want many things froggy.... some of which can't be mentioned on the family friendly parts of this forum .
