5.56 vz-58 questions

[jcoulson64]

Hey guys, just a couple questions about the 5.56 versions of the vz58.

1. If you run the plastic magwell adaptor to run AR pattern mags, can you still use an extended bolt release or are they mutually exclusive?

2. What is the quality of the new ribbed 5.56 mags from CSA? Are they cheap and flimsy or do they seem halfways durable?

3. How many mags usually come with a 5.56 version?

4. The AR style stock ones, are they rigid buffer tubes or the recoil reducing ones?

Thanks

My 5.56 VZ58 runs like a champ!

Was a little worried about it when I first purchased, but have had no issues.

Hey Walleyed99, what optic is that you're using?
I have a vortex strike eagle/vortex mount, but I think there will be some interference with spent casings ejecting into the scope

That's a Sparc, with the 2x magnifier. works great on that rifle. Also has the CSA magwell adapter which makes it a bit more fun. Shoots accurate, cycles reliably only a couple of failure to fires in over 1200-1500 rounds. It always comes to the range, and is always one of the favorites of friends when I bring it out!

oh right on! looks nice! no issues with eye relief? I never knew vortex made a 2x, only saw the 3x but that's awesome!

the first gen sparc came with a screw in 2x magnifier.
