Anyone Have Any Russian or "ComBlock" Firearms to Share?

[HOUSTON RICK]

A mint 1943 Tula Mosin Nagant

Cannot do pics but have a 1944 Russian 7.62x54r carbine with the pig sticker. Shooting yugo heavy ball quite the flame thrower and very loud. The other is a Czech CZ82 in 7.62 makarov, which has the polygonal rifling. And very accurate. Frank

Eastern Bloc

This is my Bulgarian Makarov, and CHI-COM Model 54 Tokarev

Not worth a picture since I bubba'd it a bit. 1943 Izzy 91/30 (literally, one of a million). ATI polymer stock, ghost ring sights. Surprisingly good trigger (it's main virtue), shiny bore, enormously oversized chamber, accuracy is good enough to ring the 18" gong on the 300 yd range (fun). If it was possible to rebarrel these things economically it might be worthwhile to handload as the 7.62 Russian is a good cartridge. However, when I run through my can of surplus ammo this rifle will get retired. A modern bolt gun in 308 is more practical and a better tool anyway.

I have a CZ52 that was one of my first purchases using my C&R FFL when I first got it over 15 years ago.

I also have a very nice Russian SKS that I just don't happen to have a picture of. 1954 Tula

I had owned a lot back about 10 years ago. I got into a more practical mind set back then and figured that if I can't afford to stock up on all the calibers I have then I'd let the surplus go. At that time 7.62 Tokarev ammo had stated to dry up. It went from $125 for a crate to something like $400. 9x18 also started disappearing. So I sold most of the surplus I had.

3 Older Polish M48 Toks with the small safety added. Not the giant monstrosity the add today. The importer stamp was small and up front. Imported by TGI KNOX TN.

3 Makarovs. One Russian and 2 Bulgarian.

Polish P64

SR41. Remember those? They came out in late 90s/early 2000. They were the first attempt at making a legal PPSH41. It was semi auto and had a barrel extention to meet the required 16 inches. It was redesigned and slapped together by alcoholic drug addicted monkeys. It would work sometimes. And the barrel extention was literally a Home Depot metal pipe welded on.

Mosin Nagant revolver

A lot of Mosins

Probably forgetting some. What I should have done is keep one and have some ammo on hand. Of course it did suply me with a lot of stuff I wanted. I still have a few mosins left. They were the hardest sell. Do I sell the common stuff and keep the rare which I know I won't shoot or sell the rare and shoot the common stuff. I ended up selling the rare and unique pieces and kept 3 that are middle of the road. Not your typical 91 or 91/30 but also nothing super rare.

Also have a Russian Vepr 5.45 AK.

One of the ones I kept. M91 Fin captured with a new Fin barrel

Another one. Bad pic but it's a Fin M39 mint condition

That all the pics I have on my phone.

Oops. I guess reading comprehension is optional. It does say Russian and comblock

 

[Richard Simmons]

Here's another one of my combloc long guns. You don't see these polish M44's that often. This was acutally my first C&R firearm and a gift from my wife a long time ago. I don't shoot it much but it'll be one of the last I let go of.

 

[sheepdawg]

Arguably the finest 9X18 Combloc pistol ever made, the CZ82.



This 1936 hex receiver Tula made Mosin Nagant m91/30. Pretty decent shooter but doesn't compare to my Mausers.

I would say the Stechkin but those can't be imported here so that's a moot point

Well, that's one of my aliases too: "Papaw", AKA "Pappy". You have a beautiful Mosin there. Looks like it's in good shape. Do you shoot it much? I have a few that I'll post sooner or later, and the cartridge is phenomenal. Capable of better accuracy than I am.

Thanks for letting us see your fine Russian treasure.

Best Regards, Les

Les, I haven't shot the old 91/30 in a year or so. I shoot mostly surplus. For a 1891 cartridge the performance is amazing. Also the recoil is amazing...I"m always surprised that such a heavy rifle kicks so much.

If you only have one Makarov, that's the one to have! I have one, and it is machined like a Walther. Beautiful craftsmanship. The Germans took the Makarov design, but exercised a level of craftsmanship that one usually doesn't see from some of the other communist arms manufacturers.

I would have loved to have been there when the wall came down!!! What an experience to reflect on, and a world changing event. Not to mention the later implications for folks behind the iron curtain, whose lives began to change afterwards.

Thanks for sharing the Makarov and accessories. Truly relics of a time which most of our children and grandchildren know little about.

Best Regards, Les

Here is a picture from the trip in Dresden, with me in the middle. The military personnel are from the Soviet Air Force. I indicated to them that I wanted to take a picture of them, and they motioned for me to be in the picture also. My German friend took the picture. I was almost certainly the first American that any of them had seen, and they were looking at me like I was from another planet. All of them were exceptionally friendly.

Note the Trabant cars in the background.

Here is a sampling.... I have a few extras here and there. I have a Radom (Polish) 22 Trainer that mimics a MN M38. A CZ and Nagant pistol that didn't make the picture.

I have a cz82 and a brand new cz83 both in 9mm mak. The cz75 line of pistols is tops too.

The tokarev pistols without the safety lever are worth a few dollars more and sought after by collectors.

The Finnish captured Russian mosin rifles that have hex receivers have two manufacturing dates. One is under the receiver near the securing bolt and the other on the barrel when I was converted to a Finnish rifle. Be aware of the shims that are between the stock and the receiver. The Finnish armory tweeted these rifles till they shot 1"MOA. The Finnish rifles are very accurate. The famous Finnish sniper used a Finnish mosin m27 with no scope. Search for rifles of the white death.

 

[BigBill]

At J&G Sales there offering a Romanian tokarev pistol ans a makarov surplus pistols right now. Watch Aim Surplus too.

The Czech cz82 pistols do show up time to time. It's a great quality pistol. The cz82 is the military version. The cz83 is the similar pistol but the civilian version.

In my engineering job I meet people from all over the world. Funny there no different than we are.
