Aug 5 2002, Monday:
Just ran to the Maverick
(a 7-11 type joint) for a Mt Dew.
Mrs Ogre says I need to limit myself to just one a day... So I get a
64oz. While I was out, an email came in that demands posting:
"Ogre,
first of all, thanks for pointing me in the direction of the CZ 52. At
first I thought it was one of the butt-ugliest guns I had ever seen.
Then I read some of the info on and decided I had to have it.
That thing is awesome, even if it has that cheesy, Soviet bloc look.
The other nice thing about it is it is a C & R, so I don't have to go
through an FFL. If you get one soon, please post your opinions on
this gun. Steve. BTW, your site is great.”
Thanks for the email
Steve, and the compliment about MadOgre.com. You thought the 52
was ugly? Well, I guess it is with it's odd angle grip.
Soviet weapons are a tad ugly and brutal, but they radiate Ogre Mojo.
They are simple in form and function - but work very very well.
I didn't know they are have C&R status. That's cool. That
makes the CZ-52 even that much more sweet. Yeah, FN was really
forward thinking with the "Five-seveN". (What a dumbass name)
Made from 1952 to 1954 with production of about 250,000 units. The gun
is only 150 bucks and will work just fine... just do not dry fire it.
A new firing pin is about 20 bucks and is easily swapped out.
Check out this page, where you
will also find the CZ-52
manual in PDF format. That page has everything you need for
the 52. And you don't need much. But a shoulder holster
would be nice. Oh, they have that too. How cool is that?
Nice, huh? It's recommended that when you order your 52, to just
order a firing pin as well... when you get them both, dry fire it until
it breaks and then drop in that new pin. The dry firing also
helps smooth out the trigger some what. I suggest also that while
you have the 52 apart, you use an good spray cleaner to blast out all
the old packing grease that is 50 years old. After it's blasted
clean, spray in some of the Breakfree CLP that comes in a spray can to
make sure you get in all the parts for protection of the metal where
you can see or get to. Shake out the excess oil and then wipe of
the friction bearing surfaces real well. On those surfaces, smear
on a healthy coating of Action Lube Plus. Spectre gives us word
that in the automotive section of Wally World, you can get a moly-grease
that is about the same for 1/2 the price of ALP but in a giant bucket
size. After replacing that pin, and getting the lubrication
squared away - that CZ-52 should serve you for a lifetime. If
they are as accurate as a Makarov, the gun is a true winner. I'd
love to see one used in a Bowling Pin shoot!
This
is about as asinine as it can get. LAX Security
confiscates a little boys GI-JOE Doll's 2 inch plastic rifle. I
don't care what the rules are - that is bullshit. People, it
doesn't get any more retarded than that. I mean, shit... If GI
Joe is unarmed, who will protect us from COBRA?!?
We hear news that one of
the Horde has suffered great loss.
Our faithful, Jim's
father has passed away. His pain is most great and our prayers
are with him and his family.
Email comes in from
a new reader: "Mr
Ogre, im a very young reader of your site, and I think its great.
Although im not a big fan of cars I enjoy reading your other articles
about guns and video games. I just wanted to suggest a really good
video game, that, judging from your other preferred video games, you'd
have a blast playing. Fallout tactics, a post nuclear squad based
combat game. This game is really something else. It has an entire line
up of real life weaponry and ammo but uses an RPG based system that
lets you build and specify a squad with the weapons and skills you see
fit. The other games in the fallout series were also extremely good
too. All RPG's based in a setting after the world and most of its
population have been decemated by nuclear weapons. With a great story
and good gameplay, the fallout series probaly tops my video game
charts. Not only that but I got fallout 1 & 2 for about 10$ (Its pretty
old, so it's already hit the bargain corner). In my opinion its a
really great series of games and worth giving a shot. - Chimera
Warbringer" Okay, uh, Young Mr Warbringer... Actually I've played
Fallout and Fallout 2. I don't know what Fallout Tactics are...
but I kinda had fun with FO2. While I enjoyed it, I think the games
just not me. I think Fallout 2 would have been much cooler as a
first person game instead of a what it was. I found it to be
interesting, but ultimately tiresome.
This is
reason #653 as to Why I Own Guns.
Being unemployed
sucks. Hopefully
my stint will soon be over. I think
this little
animation says it all. It may be old news, but it remains
somehow comforting. This was made by that cat in the news that
made fat bank on this little cartoon he does and got his unemployment
checks yanks and the state demanding he pay it all back. Well, he
went to court and won. He doesn't have to pay it back. It
wasn't all that Fat Bank as the media made it out to be.
Unemployment does spark some creativity.
Good Question came to
me: "Ogre, you mention wanting a CZ-52. The bullet it fires
is small and fast. Your a .45 guy. What gives? - John"
Ouch. Fair question. I want a 52 for its penetration
ability... ridiculous penetration. It can punch through steel so
cleanly, it looks like the hole was made by a drill. You see, it
goes back to Belgium and an outfit called FN. FN made a gun
called the "Five-seveN". That handgun fires an angry little
bottlenecked cartridge that is Armor Penetrating. It was designed
to defeat body armor. Because of that, FN says "Military/Police
ONLY". That bugs me. For that reason, I've wanted one
simply for the fact that I can't have one. However I can
get a CZ-52 and give FN the finger and say "I can do that too!"
Not to mention the fact that the "Five-seveN" is easily the worlds most
retarded looking handgun. The 52 is actually a good looking gun.
Sleek and kinda sexy. I want one. Only 150 bucks. Why
not? FOX NEWS
LIVE: Just reported another bombing in Israel. This time with
a twist. The Palestinian assholes blew themselves up before they
could drive the car out of the Palestinian district into an area with
lots of Jews. "HA-HA!" That's funny. NO VIRGINS FOR
YOU!
Last night I made
dinner... a roast and potatoes and all that, but I decided to chunk
the roast and it turned out like a giant stew. So awesome.
I'm sitting here watching the clock waiting for lunch time so I can dig
into the leftovers I have chilling in the fridge. Ogre loves a
good stew. This is no secret. I like good food - and while
Mexican is a favorite... simple meals like a stew can be sublime.
And this one was. I had the spices "just right".
Don't ask me how I did it - but it was alchemy.
