ds1 Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 picked up a new range toy for folks to have fun with, http://s111.photobucket.com/user/davids-s1/media/P1012947_zpseyal8vqr.jpg.html] sadly semi auto only, but still better than nowt. It is a CZ 59 belt fed 7.62x54 UK ( UK in this case stands for Universal Kulomet = Univeral Machine Gun).....why universal? Because it can go from its current LMG configuration to a tripod and heavy barrel to make a MG. As the model number suggest 59.......stands for the year of introduction and is still in use (although I have seen units with FN Minimi also). It fires from a 50 or 200 round belt and box and operates from an open bolt. Barrel changes take about 10 seconds......so I bought a spare barrel as well. Impressive is the machined receiver and chromed bolt and carrier. Operation is similar to a vz58 using a falling block. The kids are looking forward to having some fun at the weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggy Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 That has design DNA that traces back to the ZB 26 and of course the Bren Gun. Very nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ds1 Posted March 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 The Bren name still continues with the 805 and 807 assault rifles...........the 805 being adopted by the Cz army, however it is a bit of a dog. I have not played with the 807 but it is said to be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
