I have a pretty nice VZ-52, & when it was my FIL's, he had a couple 100 cases made up from 220 Swift cases... trigger pull is pretty good for an old milsurp rifle, but IMO, not as smooth as my Garand...

I honestly don't shoot it much, as a couple 100 cases aren't much for me, for use in a semi auto rifle... magazines can be hard to get, but I have 3-4... again, not enough for a real afternoon of old gun shooting... I think I have some stripper clips, but it's been a while since I've had them out... odd rim size, would make them caliber specific as well...

will have to check out the on line source for ammo...

BTW... both items at Buffalo Arms are out of stock ( of course ) but are back orderable though... thanks for the info, I book marked both items, & will keep an eye on them...
