yup, kinda... was approved on Friday. It is not exactly the same as the US 2A but we have a sentence in our constitution that says "the right to defend the life of oneself or a fellow citizen even with a weapon is guaranteed under the conditions laid down by the law"....
Great job, I never knew about any of these. Although I should have been suspicious with the first one - a post-war SMG with an inter-war year designation. In my defence, I was led astray by Lt. Troník character in the film adaptation of Black Barons, where he clearly said "Comrades, do you know the cyclic rate of the SMG vzor 24?". His character was more of a caricature in the movie than in the book. I never understood why, however we could assume, since officers were sent to the Auxiliary Technical Battalions as a form of punishment, very few of the officers in the stories were actually competent.
That's interesting. I had always believed the UZI was inspired by the SA 26. It's cool to know that features such as the grip safety where Czechoslovak inspired, too. Do you know whether the ZK 476 had a non-reciprocating cocking handle like the UZI?
Not sure if it was reciprocating or not, never found it in my resources TBH... currently I am trying to get access to one so that I could show it to you guys.... quite a unicorn indeed :)
Good video! (as usual) but I believe there was on older CS design using telescoping bolt with some weird case-less ammo - dont remember the details as Ive read about it in Střelecká revue some time ago.
Sure thing, just working on getting access to an outdoor range where it is possible. Currently the range I go to is indoor with poor lighting conditions and the quality sucks :/
No. It’s not a SA. Samopal made the 23-34-25-26. Vazor made the 58-61 Two different designs. Just like pps-43 and ppsh-41. Two different designers names then the number designation for usually the year it was adopted being the number after the creators name
Well I expected it to be way worse. At least it is not wobbly and locks solid. But cheek weld kinda doesn't exist here. I have a wooden stock too but this one looks cooler 😎
@@CzechoslovakGunStories But the propaganda poster "An American agent won't get through our village" shows a guard with the Sa 24. :-D Clearly the artist thought otherwise.
the conversion only.... still open bolt though. We mostly cannot own full autos, there is an exception from the police you can apply for but it is very rarely approved...
@@CzechoslovakGunStories same here except only grandfathered owners can have them but not shoot them unless it is on a military base but I'm not sure what paperwork is required. In Canada basically we can't cant own them. We can own semi auto versions of things depending on what the government thinks is a bad gun at the time.
Czechoslovak gun trivia right before going to bed? I'm in.
Thank you so much. I was misled as well as many other people I’m sure. So thank you for getting my history strait. Great explanation.
Hey just checking up on your channel did Czech Republic end up getting a second amendment ?
yup, kinda... was approved on Friday. It is not exactly the same as the US 2A but we have a sentence in our constitution that says "the right to defend the life of oneself or a fellow citizen even with a weapon is guaranteed under the conditions laid down by the law"....
@@CzechoslovakGunStories Still beautiful nonetheless. Not a lot of countries guarantee your god given right to bear arms
It passed lower chamber of Parliament, now itneeds to be approved by the upper one and president.
@@kibicz I think it will pass..... elections ahead they will be veeery careful :)

Great channel! I’m building a semi auto sa-26!

that was this :) ua-cam.com/video/xRUDm3nGllI/v-deo.html
@@CzechoslovakGunStories 17:20, yep thats the one. Thanks
have you thought about adding shooting section to your videos? to spice them up a bit? to attract more people?
Sure thing, just working on getting access to an outdoor range where it is possible. Currently the range I go to is indoor with poor lighting conditions and the quality sucks :/
So Sa is the correct terminology for these, but is it ok to say Sa Vz.58, Sa Vz.61 or simply Sa 58 and Sa 61?
Precisely. 58 and 61 can be named Vz. or vzor, not 23-26 series :( confusing... I know ..
@@CzechoslovakGunStories is it ok to just say Sa 58 though?
No. It’s not a SA. Samopal made the 23-34-25-26. Vazor made the 58-61 Two different designs. Just like pps-43 and ppsh-41. Two different designers names then the number designation for usually the year it was adopted being the number after the creators name
@@jamesgravel7755 Samopal means Submachine Gun, Vzor means Model. They are not designer names
Beautiful sub machine gun but that stock definitely looks brutal to get a cheek weld on.
Well I expected it to be way worse. At least it is not wobbly and locks solid. But cheek weld kinda doesn't exist here. I have a wooden stock too but this one looks cooler 😎

@@vaclav_fejt you shall not pass :P
No cheek weld at all. But very comfortable to shoot. Just feels weird at first to get the stance and grip right.
Are you allowed to own full autos in The Czech Republic or is that a semi auto version/conversion.
the conversion only.... still open bolt though. We mostly cannot own full autos, there is an exception from the police you can apply for but it is very rarely approved...

@@briankerr4512 yeah fortunately up here it is still shall issue so no space for govt to decide what is good or bad.
What a shame. Who would know if you left it in its original glory. I don’t neuter my parts kits. Assemble as they were to preserve the history.

Saying Israeli independence!!!!! It was occupation instead 🇵🇸
