Cz is different than an AK in function. Cz is striker fired first off.
Mini 14 has a 22LR conversion, I have one and it works like a charm.
The problem is: The AR's and Mini 14 are all .223 which is the same caliber as 22lr (.223 being high powered), the CZ 858 is 30 caliber, so ... forget it.
Why is everyone getting so hung up on the 30 cal thing. I understand a 223-22 conversion is relatively straight forward, but a barrel liner in the 7.62 bore would solve that wouldn't it? The one's I've seen are 5/16" o.d., which is around .312", I'm sure CSA or any other manufacturer could make something like that work in a .30 cal bbl no problem?
Jeez, I wonder why North Sylva hasn't contributed to this thread yet.
cause it is Christmas? bet they are off till January too.
I've read this whole thread and it seems to be full of stupid. Putting a .22LR down a greater-than-.22-caliber barrel isn't exactly rocket science. Like many before have suggested a new bolt system and a barrel liner isn't exactly a hard-pressed stroke of genius. In fact, during WWII, Erma developed a drop in, magazine fed, .22 LR conversion for the 98K rifles. They dropped a full length barrel liner down the bore and essentially built a micro action that sat in where the bolt normally was. Developing something similar for any other over-caliber rifle (bolt or otherwise) would not be a tremendous burden, but would require some ingenious thinking and careful planning.
Anywho, back to more important things... Like how to turn 30-30s into .30 Remingtons...

Guys let's get real here the 858's are actually bad sacry sniper assault AK-47 rifles and no one should have them!! Also High- cap assault clips automatically turn any man into a killer! :D
But in all seriousness I would be very interested in one of these kits
