UNAVAILABLE. NON-EU/UK SALES ONLY OR RE-DEACTIVATION TO CURRENT EU SPEC - PLEASE CONTACT US FOR FURTHER DETAILS. The VZ/CZ23 was originally designed in the late 1940’s and issued in quite large numbers in the 1950’s. It was an innovative weapon which in many ways shaped the development of the next generation of SMG including the UZI. In particular the CZ employed a recessed bolt which allowed the front part of the bolt to rest in front of the breech (over the barrel). This had the effect of producing a much shorter weapon. Combined with placement of the magazine inside the pistol grip this produced a much more compact SMG than had ever been seen before. The VZ/CZ26 is of the same basic design as the VZ/CZ23, but chambered in 7.62 x 23 (Tokarev round). This example is in good used condition and comes complete with one magagazine. There is a small (old) repair to a crack in the stock and the rear sight is missing - priced accordingly. Post 1995 UK deactivation with moving trigger, removable stock (one screw) and removable magazine.
