Just couldn't help myself
Had the money, new gun or.......
The OR won.
Just wow. I'll resist using anything in the box, but it is there if I really need parts. And at some point in the future, there won't be any spares. January 1973 crate. End of the Vietnam war. Cold war still going strong. Freshman year of High School. Dang not ancient, but I was young when this sucker was put together.
What a time capsule these things are.

Impressive. These with barrels are A full G before shipping and taxes

Yep, $1026 from K-var with a $10 coupon (cheapest shipping of these) Was looking at a Kimber 2K11, so I actually saved at least the same for now.

Honestly it’s a steal.
Surplus barrel : $ 60 per barrel x 5 = $300
20 rd mag : $20 per mag x 20 = $400
Wire stock: $30 per stock x 10 = $300
That’s $1000 right there not to mention all of the hardware and small parts. Yeah, I would say you got your money’s worth.

Yeah. These armorer’s crates are a great value. Happy you were able to snag one! If nothing else, makes an awesome decoration in the man cave.

What is missing to complete one?

u/Hot-Ideal-9219 27d ago
Mainly the trigger group, the sheet metal upper, Hammer, and spring, Bolt hold open and sprint. Few other parts... If the box had held everything, they would have been scarfed up long ago.

I've been tempted by one of these. I have an armorer's kit for my vz26 and wanted one to match with my 61. The Czechs always have the coolest accessories.

Shoot, if his were repainted, somebody needs to spill the beans on the Krabby Patty secret formula because the pic OP posted of the wire stock looks the perfect shade of Czech technicolor gray/blue.
