so at what point does someone say it? these .223 VZ 58's are total duds and there unsafe!! start getting 7.62x39 replacements out or full refunds, im shocked at how this is being handled, on that note it seems that CSA is doing there best to make it right but i think its time to really look at these issues
Yeah. Even some of the 7.62x39 arent right. ^^^^^^^^

I have only really heard of issues with the compact 7.5 model far as 7.62 CSA rifles go .. When the gas system is shortened and cut down from the factory length combined with a barrel being way too damn short for a rifle round leads to a potential can of worms in my opinion .. I think that 7.5 compact is really just a novelty gun , only good for pissing off fudds at the range lol . CSA should have chambered the compact 7.5 rifles in the 9mm or .45 , make a simple blowback type gun, no piston or gas system even needed, takes glock mags . pistol calibers are much more efficient in a barrel shorter than 12 inches or so.

This is happening with almost all the .223s is it?
I purchased one couple years ago, still have it, put 1000s of rounds through it and never had an issue other then the odd jam from shooting off hand and letting the gun come back with the recoil which causes shells to no fully eject but thats operator error not the guns fault. To be honest, of the 1000s of rounds ive put through it, i only cleaned it once, mabye twice. I don't use the mag adapters though, just the standard ones. I used mine for seal hunting, so its seen a lot of use, around salt water too.
Guys,
I'll start off by saying CSA makes excellent quality firearms.
There has been reports of malfunctions in a fairly limited amount of .223 models. It seems to be in a specific range of serial numbers. North Sylva has suspended the sales of the .223 models until CSA has sorted out the problem's and the rifle's are back quality that we have expected from CSA in the past. Please note that the return rate of these firearms is very low. The vocal few on CGN always seem to get the community riled up however.
The original 7.62x39 models have not been affected by the same issues as the .223.
CSA and North Sylva Co. stand behind their products, so an email or a phone call is typically all it takes to get a response. CGN rants are not required.
That being said, CSA has introduced a new warranty centre in Canada for their products. Any mechanical issues regarding CSA products can be forwarded to
Movie Armaments Group

Attn: Charles Taylor
Charles Taylor is a legend in the Canadian firearms community and we have no doubt that issues will be sorted out quickly going forward.
For any repeat issues like the one being experience by the OP, please contact our warranty person at gwedge@northsylva.com for a quick response.
We look forward to re-establishing the CSA brand to one directly associated with the highest quality VZ58 firearms.
Thanks,
Jon
