Hey guys, just bought a CZ52 from a local dealer today. Can't wait to shoot some surplus ammo this weekend Makarov.com has the 9mm Luger barrels in stock and I was thinking about getting one. Does anyone on the board have any experience with these barrels on a 52? FYI - I'm almost done with the MN 91/30 refinishing. Once finished, I'll post some pics of it, the 64 and the 52. Have a great weekend!
I have heard that they work well, and you can use the existing CZ-52 mags, but I have heard about occasional jamming with the 9mm, so I wouldn't rely on that for self-defense. On the other hand, the 7.62x25 is more powerful, so if you wanted to carry the CZ-52, you could load it with 7.62 ammo for self-defense, but use the cheaper 9mm for fun and plinking.
Before you buy, you might want to check out Sportsman's Guide. They had a sale on the CZ-52 9mm barrel a little while ago, and while I don't recall the price, I do recall being tempted to get it (even though I really like the 7.62x25 stuff).
Thanks for the reply. I think I'll just hold off on barrel switching and keep my 52 shooting the 7.62 rds. The sad thing is, I haven't been able to shoot it yet >:( Maybe the wife will let me out of the house for an hour or two today before the sun goes down
I don't understand converting 2 the 9mm. 9's are cheap n plentiful so why wear out the 7.62 surplus shooting a bunch of cheap 9 rnds? @ least half the fun of the 52 is throwing out a 6" flame...............
