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

    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:

    1. LAR-15 Mags
    2. Magpul P-Mags
    3. Norinco Mags
    4. USGI Mags


    I have also used the following ammunition with no issues:

    1. Norinco .223
    2. PMC 5.56mm M855 "Green Tip" LAP
    3. Federal XM193 and M193
    4. Federal M855 and XM855
    5. MFS Russian .223
    6. Hornady 55gr TAP
    7. 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 the next Gen mag adapter. I didn't have to do any machining and fit right in.

    It's a great rifle, I've never had an issue at all. I would suggest picking up the mag adapter though. It's a plus that you can use the AR mags if you already own an AR15. I have the 19" barrel and being able to go in the bush and shoot is a big plus.
