    CZ VZ 35 Trainer fasinates me, great but expensive example

    Love the various military trainers but they always go for more than I’m willing to pay. Followed this very nice example for a week only to be disappointed. Of all the trainers I think the VZ 35 may be the best? But doubt I will ever be able to test the theory?

    I agree, the VZ35 is the best CZ from a collectable point of view. But there seem to be quite a few collectors of military-type air rifles out there...

    I like 'em
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    Cz VZ35

    I'd love a 35 too, that one does seem a tad expensive, and it doesn't have the bayonet. I have a CZ VZ47, a slightly later (1940s) version of the 35. Big heavy rifle, never supplied with a bayonet, sliding door on the ammo cavity as apposed to the trapdoor of the 35. Good examples normally go for around £250-300.

    Book - Training Rifles of 3rd Reich Germany

    If you are interested in the German training air rifles, this book has a chapter devoted exclusively to this topic. It is a great book with excellent photographs. It is quite a large book.
