Hey fellow CZ military gun nuts! Selling my UK59, and maybe we can do a CZ day at my local private range that I work at.
The UK-59 (vz.59) that I have posted about (see posts and pics in this thread) may be adopted. At the time of writing this post, there are ONLY two days left in a GB auction for this great weapon. (

This is a very comprehensive and complete kit, not just a gun. Over the period of several years, I enjoyed sourcing and acquiring all the accessories and spare parts to assemble a complete kit around this military classic MG. I have somewhere between $10-15K invested in the kit.
If your a Cold WAR CZ military weapons fan, then please take a look at this package before its gone. I have a lot of pictures of the firearm and accessories, that I may post for entertainment (Gun Porn) and informational historic purposes.
This weapon is fun to shoot and maintain, and I would love to see it go to a good home where some responsible operator will completely strip and clean it in soapy water and oil it up, after shooting 600 rounds of milsurp through it at the range. That's how I treated it and I had a bleep ton of fun shooting it. I've taken it to machine gun shoots and more guys took pictures of this SEMI-auto UK59 than they did of the full-auto .50s and Russian PKMs on the firing line -- its really a badass looking belt-fed squad MG, esp. with the rare heavy barrel and the tripod.
If the GB reserve price is not yet met and if it doesn't sell, it will relist one additional time. After that, F it, I'm going to shoot it more.
I will post if that happens. Any of you CZ heads that live near NE Ohio, your invited to meet me at the range (
SHC Training Facility, near Garrettsville OH) and shoot a couple crates of 54R with it. We'll have a CZ range day! If you need to travel a day to do this, spend the night -- there is a camping sites (with electric) and shower facility on the property. Just pay range fees and bring a VZ.58 and pistol with a few hundred round. The range has really cool terrain, lots of steel targets for pistol and rifle, and we can set up some static long range, and run-and-gun stages to shoot.
