Several months ago I bought a CZ52/57.
It was a Great price for a CZ52/57, only $600 shipped when they usually goes for 900-1100, so I snapped it up.
The Buyer misrepresented the condition of the rifle.
The one thing I can at-least say is that it is functional
The stock was stripped, painted with what seems like spray cans, then badly stripped again.
The front sling loop was cut, and filled over with some epoxy.
The butt plate had holes drilled into it (for no reason)
and the rear sling loop was removed (metal missing) and filled up with epoxy, which was drilled out by the previous owner but badly.
The metal was horribly sanded.
Overall it was poorly taken care of and was a major redo to get it looking nice again.
Before:
So, after speaking with Steve at EMP, he took on the job to refinish this rifle (poor bastard)
A new Stock was purchased and refinished via EMP
Metal was retreated via EMP
AFTER
overall the end product looks like a new rifle compared to what it was prior.
Thank you Steve and EM Precision Rifles.
Again a different build for them since they work on Precision Rifles, but they did a fantastic job.
