lol thats awsome!

Is this a .32acp or the 9x18 Makarov? I think the originals were .32acp but these mags look like they could hold the Makarov cartridges. Just curious. Cool looking little guns. (enablers enabling the enablers)

It's a 32acp, the give away for the 9mm Maks and 380acp versions, they have straight mags.

Ah, thanks GM. Any problems feeding the .32acp? I thought I would have feeding issues with my CZ-83 in .32acp but it's never had a problem yet. Sweet caliber to shoot.

I've fed it Norma, Fiocchi and S&B with no issues, had a few fail to eject with Winchester.. it seems a little less potent than the European stuff.  But... It says use CIP spec ammo,

For this reason, CzechPoint does not recommend American manufactured (SAAMI spec) ammunition as it often results in feeding issues.

so I can't fault it.

I use Fiocchi, S&B, Remington, and Aguila. I have a couple boxes of the Winchester 71gr FMJ but haven't used any of it, yet. Of course, I'm talking about using all that in my CZ-82. But thanks for the heads up on the Winchester ammo anyway.  I can't find any Norma around my neck of the woods. Is there a particular online dealer that keeps a decent supply of Norma ammo? I used to use a lot of it years ago but just don't seem to run across it anymore. I used a lot of it in my M1 Carbine and it never had a hiccup.

How much are the VZ-61's costing nowadays? When I see one, I usually do a double take and briefly think about taking the plunge. I just keep seeing something else that makes me do the dreaded tripple take and it ends up going home with me. Last one was a pre-'82 RPB MAC10 Open Bolt 9mm. I still sleep with that one. 
I'm getting ready to send in my $200.00 and application for the Tax Stamp to get a good suppressor for it. I don't know whether to go old school and stay with the old SCIONICS suppressors or go with the newer stuff and something more efficient. (and costly) Gotta love me some 9mm quiet fun.

I got a case and a half of Norma .32 from this outlet..but, I also have a few other .32acp mouths to feed... https://www.ammoshoponline.com/product-category/norma/

CzechPoint sells them for at 720+ depending on caliber, which they've been out of stock now for months, I'm still holding out hope for a .22lr upper.

I've considered doing the tax stamp for the folding stock on the Vz, also considered getting tax stamp for a factory 12.5 inch barrel for my Finnish Suomi..or one to unfold the stock on my Polish PPS-43...... BUT.. with the political climate as it is, I'm gonna pass for a while longer.

That Vz 61 certainly makes my sphincter tingle......

dude that VZ 61 definitely stopped me in my tracks too 

ENABLING  and tingling



Glad to help
