So what is this a VZ23 or a VZ24 And how do you tell the difference Im thinking 23.but what do I know no Crest and no visible lettering along the left side of the receiver.

It shows all the signs of starting as a Vz23 and yes I saw the E lion 23, it shows in that pictorial - I think that the top of the receive was likely scrubbed and that was not totally removed.

I tried to load the round, but the round got stuck part way into the chamber.

Crape now what Thinking the rifle might be chamber in.308 (they do that sometimes, you know) I tried a.308.Nope.

Definitely not.308 Back to the 8mm.

I decided to be much more forceful.

Here is what I found Sorry this 1st pic is upside down for some reason.

For some reason a VZ23 bayonet that I found laying around wont fit on this rifle.Hmm So could I have a VZ24 bayo lug Whats the difference between a VZ23 bayo lug and a VZ24 bayo lug Anybody Must be that, I truly do have a VZ23 receiver, but VZ24 parts mixed in.

I thought of that too, shortly after I handed the rifle back at LGS for their smith to look at.

Per the manager, they are going to cast the chamber and clean up and polish the leading edge of the chamber.

I have asked for the casting.so I can see for myself whats going on and take some measurements.

Im not sure how long it is going to take for the smith to get to my rifle.: (.
