Here's a picture thread for you. Let's see your eastern bloc weapons! Long guns and hand guns. AKs, SKSs, Dragunovs, Makarovs, Tokarevs, CZ-52s, Saigas...

Don't own any as of yet. I WANT a Romak-3 rifle, a VEPR .308 Rifle, a Saiga .308 carbine, and a Saiga 12 19" shotgun. Also, a Makarov and a CZ-52 would be nice, too. :D

[P95Carry]

sad to say, I don't think I have any pics of my Yugo SKS, Mossin 91/30 etc ... guess I oughta take some! Mind you ... they look just like any others! Well ... so far anyways!:)

Oh and SAR1... hmm forgot that ... again no pic ... yet!

[Prodigalshooter]

never mind:rolleyes: gotta do some pic editing

[OEF_VET]

no pics to post at work, but here's my list: Romanian SAR-1, Mosin Nagant M44, and Yugo M48A at present. I've also owned a Russian SKS and a CZ-50 in the past.

Let me get things started then, with a semi-custom PSL/Romak-3 rifle from www.dragunov.net. (Note that the Romak-3 is not actually a Dragunov.) It's been slightly cusomized with a slightly modified ATI stock intended for an AK clone.

I have a CZ-97, but it was made in the Czech Republic long after the fall of Communism and the dissolution of Czechoslovokia. :cool:

[BowStreetRunner]

I just put up a post in the handgun forum about my new com bloc babies :)
here is a pic of my Makarov and ny Nagant revolver
I would love to get a Mosin Nagant M38 or M44 or a CZ 52.....aaaahhhh to only be rich
:rolleyes:

[Nightcrawler]

There are some specific guns I'd like to see:

-VEPRs
-Dragunovs
-TT33 Tokarevs
-Makarovs
-CZ-52s

I'd like to see a Tokarev rifle, too, and maybe an AK with a drum. :)

BowStreetRunner, that's a GREAT pic of your Nagant and Makarov!

[The Silver Bullet 1719]

Alright here are mine. (The CZ-75B is technically not a commie gun, but since the CZ-75 was made in Czechsolvakia, I'll toss in anyways :) )

[Bowlcut]

Ill try to break down and take a pic of my Mosin-Nagant M44 sometime tomorrow maybe. Its my only combloc gun right now. Going to pick up a makarov here soon tho.

[JeFF D]

Thanks for the thread Nightcrawler, gave me the perfect chance to show off my new toy.

Just got the VEPR K 4 days ago. I put 300 rounds through it yesterday and I couldnt be happier with it. Works great and accurate too. Made the 4 month wait all worth while.

I broke down and spent the nearly $100 for a 75 round drum and let me tell ya, it was worth it. Ahhh, the feeling of dumping 75 rounds down range as fast as you can pull the trigger is SOOO great. The next best thing to full auto. It was also the first time I'd shot my AK and I was using Wolf ammo, so there was quite a bit of smoke coming from the barrel. :D Gotta love it!

Where did you get your Pooh tagline?

It sounds familiar. I wonder if I heard it from the same place.

[Nightcrawler]

The first use of that phrase was a sigline used by LawDog back on TFL. Don't know if he used it in original, though.

[OEF_VET]

Gewehr, that's quite an interesting stock on that SKS, where did you come across it?

[Gewehr98]

Easy answer:

www.nouglyguns.com

[OEF_VET]

Oh man, talk about beauty-ful! I'm thinking about getting a set of furniture for my AK done in Afghan Desert Camo. What else would I get it in?

By the way, is that your SKS on his website?

[Gewehr98]

He hadn't sold one of those for the Yugo SKS, I took the plunge and bought one. It took a bit of modification to fit, with the longer bayonet channel and bigger barrel shank. Dremel tools can be your friend!

Once I reported back to him on the fitting, he started modifying the stocks for customers who wanted to put them on the Yugoslavian variants.

[Gewehr98]

I've used it for quite some time over on TFL, and carried it with me to THR. I saw it on a Lee-Enfield forum, where it struck me as entirely appropriate. I figured Pooh would be a royal subject of either a colonial holding or a commonwealth territory of the British crown, and as such, would carry either a Lee-Enfield or Martini. Mad Ogre had a link to when Pooh "snapped", which made the sigline even more interesting (Still working on an appropriate graphic) :D

[Greg L]

Does my HS2000 count? :D

One of these days I'll get a place to put various pictures. Suffice it to say though that due to my C&R I have a bunch of ComBloc weaponry hanging out in the safe (and breeding like mad in that dark space :rolleyes:

And here's a picture I'd bet many of you can relate to, my Russian fresh from her box. Is it wrong to spend more on cleaning supplies than on the gun itself?

Here's one that I want. MOLOT J.S.C. VEPR .308. For some odd reason, I prefer the rifle in this configuration over the Robinson VEPR II conversion. I don't know why. This version couldn't be legally converted to high capacity magazines, but somehow I don't care. I think maybe it's because it looks Dragunov-esqe, or something.

Don't know how lefty-friendly that buttstock is, though. Anybody shoot and original VEPR?

Hmm. I'll probably end up getting a VEPR II, just 'cause they're easier to find and I can get them from Federal Arms for cheaper than Robinson is selling them. If I got the VEPR II, though, I"d almost certainly get it conveted to Galil magazines. Why Galil mags over M14 mags? Well, since the Galil was an AK too, I think the Galil mags will work better. And, even though the 20 and 25 round Galil .308 mags are very expensive, the 12 and 15 rounders are $30.00 apiece or so, compared to $40.00 apiece for VEPR .308 10-round mags...

Here's a picture of a VEPR II .308 converted to take M14 mags by Kreb's Custom.

Here is my FrankenRomak, a rifle I am currently building pending the arrival of rivets. I am debating whether to keep it black or camoflage the stock, depends on how it looks when completed.

Nice bump. I liked this thread. Here is one I didn't post before.

[Tamara]

a VEPR .308 Rifle, a Saiga .308 carbine, and a Saiga 12 19" shotgun.

Not sure that these three are accurately described as combloc weapons, as they were obviously developed to be sold to running-dog imperialist capitalist tools in decadent America... ;)

[Nightcrawler]

I dunno. The Vepr and Saiga are much bigger sellers in Russia than they are here. (They have a small, but healthy "gun culture" of their own, you know.)

Just had to nitpick though, didn't you? LOL

[Dave Markowitz]

First, my CZ-52:

Nitpick? Naw. :)

Just reacting to the same twitch I get when somebody responds to the question "What's your favorite milsurp?" with "Chicom SKS", "CETME", or "DSA FAL". ;)

Okay, maybe it is nitpicking... :o

Wow. I did not realized I captured an actual picture of the mating ritual of the Makarov. Now we know that they should be housed seperately. :D

[12 Volt Man]

Another thought. Maybe I could sell that picture to National Geographic and get enough money for a couple more. :D :D

[dustind]

Is that what they mean by gun porn? :D

[12 Volt Man]

I am so ashamed. I have created gun porn for all the world to see on the internet.
Now let see some more Commie guns.

I just finished the assembly on this, so I have to post it. I will post pictures when the refinishing is done.

Okay, let's try a pic of my Yugo:
