RIFLE. Cal. 7.62X54R. S# R-03158. Bbl. 23" including flash hider. The UK-59 (also commonly referred to as VZ-59) was developed in the late 1950’s to act as a dual function machine gun. It had to be light enough to be transported & utilized by a single soldier w/ the ability to utilize a rigid mount for purposes typically associated w/ the heavier variants. The design & quality must have hit their mark because even though it was manufactured in extremely small numbers in comparison to other Soviet orders, it can still be encountered in theatres of operation today. This particular example was mfg. by MarColMar, a United States based importer & manufacturer known throughout the industry for high quality, high end semi automatic variants of unique foreign machine guns. Their innovation allows complete compliance w/ our firearms regulations while offering items that may otherwise be unobtainable. The UK-59 was a very expensive firearm to build primarily because the receiver is machined from a massive bar of steel reduced in weight by a factor of 10 during the manufacturing process. Caliber is 7.62X54R just like the original. Feed system is the familiar non disintegrating steel link found in other Russian systems w/ the exception of a redesign to upgrade the mechanism to a push through style (similar to the U.S. M60, M240, M249 etc.). The bbl. finish is a deep rich blue & muzzle is terminated w/ a threaded cone. Folding adj. bipod beneath the hooded post front sight. Rear sight is a ladder style notch sight micro adj. for windage w/ 100 to 2000 meters of fine adjustment. Finish on receiver is a deep thick gray reminiscent of many of the Czech military firearms. Wooden stock & pistol grip are a customary reddish brown in finish. Stock features a folding support that can be dropped into vertical position during normal use when additional support isn’t necessary.
