Csa vz58 doesnt like norinco ammo. Simple like that! Reload and comercial is the way and I never have experience problem with that.

I sent mine over the winter. Only gone a week and a half and it is indestructible now.

I have the magwell adapter, it works really well with the LAR 15 mags. I have a couple E-Lander mags but they don't always function well. The LAR mags are what I use most and I have not had a single issue and I have put over 1000 rounds through those mags. Most of the ammo was MFS and American Eagle. I won't shoot the Norinco ammo talked to too many people who had issues firing it through the VZ58.
Edit: I have some 2nd Gen Pmags and they seem to work fine as well.

I have the magwell adapter in a gen 1 CSA vz.58 in .223. The rifle needed machining before the magwell adapter would even fit.
I have used the following magazines extensively:
- LAR-15 Mags
- Magpul P-Mags
- Norinco Mags
- USGI Mags
I have also used the following ammunition with no issues:
- Norinco .223
- PMC 5.56mm M855 "Green Tip" LAP
- Federal XM193 and M193
- Federal M855 and XM855
- MFS Russian .223
- Hornady 55gr TAP
- Hornady Steel Match 55gr
I may just be lucky with my vz58, but it cycles beautifully. The trigger leaves some to be desired, but the rifle has been bomb proof.
*Pro tip* (from experience) be careful with scope mounts, some like to bounce ejecting shells back into the ejection port area before the rifle has got the new round into battery, causing a very bent casing and a stoppage.
I have VZ58 in .223 also. Ive taken it out twice. Ran 100 rounds through it each time and never had a problem.
I have the csa vz 58 in 7.62 and I have the same problems won't chamber a round and light primer strikes , only got to fire one round and that's cause I manually loaded it in to the chamber after the first shot light primer stricks every time haven't got it to fire since
So what is the concences.... Buy a CSA VZ 58 .556 or not. Has the ftf been resolved?
