sorry to ask, I know it's been debated in the red rifle forum, but do the 7.62 version still has that problem where you would squeeze the trigger and nothing happen ? I would appreciate some info from those familiar with the rifle ! I like the style and the fact that it has a Chrome barrel. But at the same time, I would hate to invest money into something you can't thrust. Thanks guys !
I finally got a chromed barrel Vz58 in 7.62. Quality is impressive and the rifle is as simple as it can get. Now here's the issue if I can call it an issue, i'm using PMC 123 gr amo, and every 20 rounds or so, i get a FTF ! the round gets stuck halfway going between the magazine and the barrel. Sometime, me pushing the slide a bit forward is enough to move the bullet all the way in and close the slide. I did not try another amo, anybody seen this before ??

I got to the range and only got 80 rounds (mix of czech and chicom) out of my csa and so far no issues at all, inspected all parts afterwards and seen no problems whatsoever.
I bought one KCI mag and dont like it at all, it feeds just fine and what not but its pinned to allow for 5 rounds exactly with the last one being a real pain to put in, not like the included mags that are pinned at 5.5
Agreed. The angled punch they use to bend a piece of the shell inwards I dont like at all. Now If I had a rivet gun...
These issues should go away after you break in your rifle. They likely over applied the enamel paint, causing a bit too much friction. I had the same thing with my 556 csa. Haven't tested out my new chromed vz yet though.
