CZ-52 is their popularity for collectors gone? debating thinning the herd. (not fishing for a sale)

[USMC88-93]

Have one but it has not been out of the safe in years. (not currently for sale). I would imagine collectable interest has reduced due to ammunition availability.

My Father bought my brother and I matching CZ-52 packages (like yours- holster, two mags, cleaning rod) on the occasion of my 18th birthday. I was armed with mine that following summer during one of my highest probability civilian two-way firing range incidents. No way I will ever sell it, but I would say the market has shifted to harder core Cold War collectors versus shooters due to current pricing of the guns and lack of cheap surplus ammo.

Internet stories about galled locking rollers and broken firing pins may have reduced the demand.

And then there's those who've experienced firing pins snapping...

Never had any problem with mine, I don't dry fire it anymore...

Aftermarket parts are available. Keep the flame thrower alive

Great pistol, awsome cold war era pistol

Has been on my wish list for more years than I can count. Never had the moon in the seventh house, or Jupiter align with Mars to make it happen.

Had one, shot up a tin of subgun ammo, broke the firing pin (no dry fire).

If ammo was still around would have kept it for sure.

Almost got one, but got a Yugo M57 Tok and figure that's enough for that caliber.
