Testfired the VoPo
Hi,
Went to the range with my S/42 and the VoPo to see if and how they performed. Shooting quality is excellent for both of them, but some small parts need some attention. The ejector spring on the S/42 was fatigued and must be replaced. The VoPo performed very well and only had a firing pin locking bolt that needed replacement. The quality of the East German barrels is excellent. I'm not a fan of the 02/1001 postwar magazines and neither were the guns. They performed best with early-1930s non-extruded magazines. Both guns were fed rather spicy S&B 115gr. Small parts weaknesses will show very rapidly using this ammo while good quality parts will eat this ammo without any problems. My conclusion: DDR barrels: Good. DDR magazine springs: Baaad. |
