The CZickness XLIV Girding our loins for 2022

[TJ Kackowski]

Red banding all the AK mags with #1. This classifies as artsy fartsy, right?

This most definitely counts as artsy fartsy ... I'm a bit jelly of the snacks provided as part of this project!

Kinda sounds like you're going to have to start wearing pants before you can do that

Did you not see my post (#21)? No pants required ... just a heavy tunic.

Pants/no pants, no matter. As long as there's fur and early morning dew.

The SKS (Russian: Самозарядный карабин системы Симонова, romanized: Samozaryadny Karabin sistemy Simonova, 1945, Self-loading Carbine of (the) Simonov system, 1945) is a semi-automatic carbine chambered for the 7.62×39mm round, designed in 1943 by Sergei Gavrilovich Simonov.

SKS carbines and their derivatives were also manufactured under license in the People’s Republic of China, as well as a number of countries allied with the Eastern Bloc. The SKS was exported in vast quantities and found favour with insurgent forces around the world as a light, handy weapon which was adequate for guerrilla warfare despite its conventional limitations. Beginning in the 1980s, a number were also sold on the civilian market in North America, where they remain popular as hunting and sporting rifles.

So I finally got around to some pictures of a "real" CZ to show off.
A while back, the question was raised if this group had possessed all the various models, and I said I'd post one that nobody had.

So I'm cheating a bit, as this one is not in current production, is not a pistol, and is not technically a CZ, but a Brno. Either way, it was one of my first Czech firearms, and one of my first centerfire rifles (only because it was all I could afford).

In the venerable .222 Remington, it's the rifle that I've made my longest varmint shot with - 284 lazered yards. I was off a couple inches, and it merely grazed the varmint's neck in the back and put a furough where it travelled, without a drop of blood. The shock, I guess, bulged it's eyeballs out and scrambled it's brains, and he was DRT.

Anyhow, here it is in all it's glory - not particularly high quality, but very heavy duty. My two are nicely polished, and there's others I've seen with more a parkerized finish. Trigger is atrocious.

Ohhh .... I shall ingest that link. Thanks !

 

[MindfulMan]

Thanks, RR .... I'm already more knowledgeable.
I appear to now be the custodian of a "26 inside the triangle" model (which translates to 56). It evidently was built in the Jianshe factory in China.

It's a beaut .... that I know. Continued photos tomorrow !

Niece's husband didn't make it, 44 is way too young. He was a great outdoors man, hunting and fishing I think is all he did for recreation. We would always talk about how the various seasons were going when the family got together during holidays, although I don't fish. Leaves two grown kids and a wife behind, she is also in the hospital with covid. Went in two days after him.

Oh damn, LE .... I'm so sorry to hear that. That's just terrible.

Thanks MM, sadly they were both high risk. Family is waiting to see how niece does.

Excellent.

You've been wanting one for a while, glad you got one. (I know that's an AK emoji but it's close!!)

Sincerest condolences LE, prayers for your niece.
Yes 44 is way too young

It was not a good way to end the holiday, he was in the hospital for 5 days. She has been in there 3.
