Great video, as it answered a few queries about the weapon that we had, as we are seeking to buy a few for the collection and found a source that has a shipment of lot of un-issued weapons. As for the firing pin how completed would it be to replace it and would advise to have a replacement at the ready for stock? Thanks again great and informative video

@BennyTheJett1 I've had both of my CZ-52's for 15 years and I've never had a firing pin break. It's not hard to replace if it does get broken, though. As long as you don't dry fire it (pulling the trigger and having the hammer slam the firing pin into an EMPTY chamber) it probably will never break. I've forgotten and dry fired a few times and nothing broke but I wouldn't want to push my luck.

nice video.it touched on alot of good points.when i bought my cz 52 i wanted to make it as reliable as possible so i replaced the problematic cast firing pin.i also polished the feed ramp and purchased a new magazine because the weapon is over 50 years old and the springs in the magazines can be weak and cause jams. other than that i installed some textured black plastic grips for better feel and looks

@turboboy0 the key to cast firing pin life isby not dry firing it. I've thought about getting forged ones but so far my cast ones (in both my 52's) are still good to go. If your keeping a 52 for defensive purposes then it might be better to go with the forged one just to be on the safe side, though.

30calm1 nice vid these are great guns for the money an ammo prices are right the cz 52 n cz 82 are good buys to stock pile for shtf senarios they are afordable reliable an would be worth there weight in gold if sthf ever does happen my question is where can i find a cz 52?

@WIRLIEGIGGLE1 they were fairly abundant on the surplus market for several years but that has dried up. The prices have gone up, too.

Only thing you can do is check out the gun shops and gun shows.

30CALM1 Hello! thanks for the heads up! Much appreciated, as I enjoy the simple method to field strip the weapon. Tks

[turboboy0]

@3OCALM1 this is just a fun gun. for the home i have a micro desert eagle.380 and a taurus 357 magnum revolver.i just get bored sometimes and want to improve some of my old weapons. i do not like to dry fire any weapon.

@3OCALM1 Don't be fooled, Sir. Hot Tokarev rounds will defeat lower level ballistic armor ballistic armor. Just something to be aware of. In its day, the Tokarev was a wonderful round, even by today's standard. Think of it as an early day analogue to the .357sig
