VZ61 Skorpion Bolt

VZ61 Skorpion Bolt

This is the steel bolt for the Czechoslovak vz. 61 Skorpion, the compact submachine gun issued to Czech Army and security units. The bolt is the main moving part of the action, so it is the piece to replace when you are restoring a Skorpion, completing a parts kit, or keeping a spare for a gun you already shoot. It comes from Czech Army stock and is original military issue, not an aftermarket part.

Features

• Genuine Czech Army Issue — The part comes from Czechoslovak military stock and was made for service rifles, not for the commercial market.
• Steel Construction — The bolt body is machined from steel and finished in black.
• Direct-Blowback Design — The bolt's mass and the recoil spring hold the action shut on firing, with no locking lugs, which keeps the mechanism simple.
• Closed-Bolt Operation — The bolt is already forward against the chamber when the trigger is pulled, so it does not slam forward and shift the gun off target as the shot breaks.
• Inertial Rate Reducer Pairing — The light bolt works with the weighted rate reducer in the pistol grip, which briefly holds it to the rear and brings the cyclic rate down from about 1,000 to roughly 850 rounds per minute.
• Factory Pin Holes and Slots — The cross holes along the sides and the long slot cut into the top are the original factory machining.
• Made By Česká Zbrojovka — The vz. 61 was produced at the Česká zbrojovka works in Uherský Brod, Czechoslovakia.
• Rybář Design — Miroslav Rybář designed the gun in 1959, and it was adopted as the Samopal vzor 61.

Czechoslovak Issue Part

The vz. 61 was produced for the Czech Army from 1963 to 1979, and its standard chambering is 7.65mm Browning (.32 ACP). The family was also built in 9x18mm and 9x17mm (.38 ACP), so confirm your gun's caliber before ordering. A factory-made bolt keeps a Skorpion correct for collectors and reenactors, and it gives shooters a part built to the original military specification.
