Purpose and features of Sa vz. 61 Pistol PART I. Description of the design of the Sa vz. 61 Pistol 3 2 1 4 7 Sa vz. 61 Pistol, (further referred to as “pistol”) is a versatile individual gun designed for sport, target shooting and self-defense. The pistol can shoot in single shots only. Effective range of fire is up to 200 m. The rear sights are adjustable for the range of 75 and 150 m. The pistol is chambered for the cartridge 7.65 mm Br., 9 mm Br., 9 mm Makarov and 22 LR. Each pistol is equipped with two 20 round magazines (two 10 round in Canada). Rounds are loaded into a magazine manually. The muzzle velocity of the bullet varies between 280 and 320 m/sec. (in relation to ammunition type used)., maximum range of fire is up to 1,500 m, lethal effect up to about 600 m. Combat rate of fire is 35 rounds per minute. The weight of pistol with loaded magazine is 1.55 kg (7.65 mm Br.), 1.53 kg (9 mm Br. and 9 mm Makarov) and 1.39 kg (22 LR). 2. Characteristics of Sa vz. 61 Pistol The Sa vz. 61 Pistol is a simple, light semi-automatic gun, which utilises gas pressure on the bottom of a cartridge to move the bolt into its rear position. The bolt is returned to its front position by a pressure of two return springs. The Pistol is enclosed in a receiver cover. The cocking points do not protrude excessively out of the surface, thus enabling the operation when close to the body of a gunner or in very limited space. The ejection port is located in such position that accidental flames do not disturb the gunner. Pistol operation is reliable and safe even in difficult conditions i.e. in dust, rain, extremely low or high temperatures. The gun can be fired in any position. The triggering mechanism allows fire in single shots only. The cartridges are continuously supplied from a magazine when shooting. The position of the magazine provides comfortable two-hand grip. Changing magazines is quick and easy. It is easy to carry the pistol in any situation due to its low weight and small dimensions either in belt holster, armpit holster or free under jacket, etc. Dismantling, standard cleaning and preservation do not require any special tools. 5 6 Figure No. 2 Sa vz. 61 Pistol, main parts 1 - barrel, 2 - receiver cover, 3 - bolt, 4 - receiver, 5 - trigger mechanism, 6 - grip, 7 - magazine CHAPTER 2 DESCRIPTION OF MAIN PARTS OF SA VZ. 61 PISTOL 1. Barrel (Fig. 3 and 4) There are six grooves creating six fields in the barrel (4 grooves and 4 fields in the Makarov model). The righthand constant twist of 350 mm gives the bullet right-hand rotation. The muzzle is rounded in order to prevent damage to the grooves. The rear part of the barrel passes into a cartridge chamber with shape and dimensions corresponding to the respective cartridge. The surface of barrel is smooth, black painted. The barrel is pressed into receiver cover insert. Approximately in the middle of the barrel is a ring, by which the barrel presses against inner face of the receiver cover insert. Barrel is fixed in its position by a pin. At its rear, the barrel is thickened, with a cut out for extractor.

Preparation for shooting The Pistol, which has been preserved for long storage, must be disassembled, cleaned and reassembled before use. All remnants of vaseline have to be removed and all movable parts oiled. 2. Loading Insert loaded magazine into a gun until a click is heard. Turn the safety from position ”0” to position “1”. Holding the cocking points firmly, pull the bolt backwards till it stops and release. The bolt returns into front position and brings cartridge to the chamber and closes the chamber itself. This being done, the gun is ready to fire. 3. Firing After pulling the trigger a sequence of movements in trigger mechanism results in hammer hitting a striker and igniting a primer, thus resulting in a shot. Part of powder gases thrusts onto cartridge case bottom and front wall of the bolt, ejecting the bolt into rear position. This energy suppresses the springs, ejects the cartridge and renews the operating position of the hammer. The empty cartridge is ejected upward and away from the shooter. The restored forward motion causes the new feeding of next cartridge to chamber. The trigger must be released after each shot. The pistol is ready for next single shot by new action of the trigger. 81 4. Safety lever The gun is safely locked by turning the safety lever to position ”0”, i. e. pointing downward. Thus, the trigger cannot be pressed, accidental fire is prevented. Figure No. 15 Accessories 8 - holster, 81 - holster belt, 82 - holster suspension belt, 83 - magazine pouch Gun can be carried also suspended on a suspension belt. Magazine pouch is a textile case with two compartments for two long magazines. Pouch can be attached to a belt or carried in pocket. CHAPTER 4 5. Fire termination Should fire be terminated, it is recommended to pull out the magazine and draw the bolt into its rear position. The last unused cartridge should be ejected from the chamber this way only. Then, the bolt should be released again to its front position and the gun locked by the safety lever (into position “0”). AMMUNITION The pistol cartridges, cal. .22 LR, 7.65 mm Br., 9 mm Br., 9 mm Makarov, are used for firing and for training as well. Storage, handling and use of the cartridges is subject to producer’s procedures and warranty conditions. - 12 - - 13 - PART II.
