Czech Skorpion Barrel
This is an original Czech Army barrel for the vz. 61 Skorpion, the compact 7.65mm machine pistol designed by Miroslav Rybář in 1959 and issued to the Czechoslovak Army. It suits owners rebuilding or servicing a Skorpion, builders working on a parts kit, and collectors who want factory components instead of aftermarket substitutes. The barrel is chambered in 7.65mm Browning, the cartridge US shooters know as .32 ACP.
Features
- 7.65mm Browning (.32 ACP) — The barrel is chambered for the original Skorpion cartridge, a small, low-recoil pistol round.
- 4.5-Inch (115mm) Length — The short barrel matches the factory dimension the vz. 61 was built around.
- Chrome-Lined Bore — A hard chrome layer inside the bore resists corrosion and fouling and makes cleaning easier.
- Six-Groove Rifling — Six spiral grooves with a 1:13.8 twist rate spin the bullet for stability in flight.
- Chromium-Molybdenum Steel — Cold hammer forging shapes the barrel by pressing steel around a mandrel, which yields a dense, tough part.
- Locating Collar And Stepped Body — A raised flange and machined steps along the body position the barrel correctly in the receiver.
- Slotted Breech End — The flared rear end carries machined notches, as on the original factory part.
- Black Finish — The exterior has a uniform black finish over the steel.
Czechoslovak Army Issue
Česká zbrojovka (CZ) made this barrel at its Uherský Brod factory, which produced the vz. 61 for the Czechoslovak Army from 1963 to 1979. Because it is a government-issue component built to the army's own specification, it fits and functions the way the original design intended. For a Skorpion owner or collector, that provenance matters: it is the same part the rifle factory fitted to service weapons.

Great BarrelGreat price especially with free shipping. Looked brand new with no blemishes. The install was extremely tight but that could have been my parts kits. Groves lines up well for the barrel pin, only had to drill out a little material for pin to seat.
Worked great, no issues cycling rounds, decent accuracy.

VZ61 Skorpion BarrelGreat customer service.

Perfect ConditionPulled this out of the packaging and was blown away by the condition. Zero pitting, rifling is crisp and clean, you'd think this thing was NOS. Dropped right into my build with no fitting needed. I've put about 200 rds of S&B .32 through it so far and its shooting nice tight groups at 15 yards.
If your building a Skorpion this is the barrel to get.

Exactly What My Skorpion NeededBeen running my vz61 for about 5 years now and the original barrel was getting pretty beat up. Picked this surplus czech barrel up and it dropped right in with minimal fitting, chrome lining looks great inside. Put around 400rds of .32 acp through it at the range last weekend and zero issues, groups tightened up noticeably compared to my worn out OG barrel. Customer service was real helpful when I had a question about fitment before ordering, responded same day which I wasnt expecting.
Fit was nearly drop-in on my parts kit build
