Chezc small arms .223 vs CZ 858 7.62x39

[WAREWOLF]

Which is better in your opinion chezc small ar's .223 or the original CZ 7.62x39

I know it's subjective but just want to see people's opinions

Chezc small arms .223

CZ 858 7.62x39

 

[Jwirecom109]

Had the 7.63x38, loved the gun but wouldn't do it again because of the corrosive ammo, so if they make it in 223 non restricted , the 223 will get my vote

 

[fenceline]

Already run guns that use either 7.62x39 or .223/5.56... So not much of an issue getting one in either or.

Chezc small arms makes it in .223

 

[bfiles]

Czech small arms or CSA make them in both, but the non restricted 762x39 isnt out for sale yet.

CZ only makes the 762x39 so it depends what YOU want to shoot.

Id prefer 762x39 but more people run AR's aswell and like the .223 CSA's more.

Really it comes down to your decision

 

[angrysoldier]

i have it in 223. fun little gun.

 

[AlmondPoq]

I'd buy NR .223 if they make a good alloy ar mag adopter for it

 

[saskcop]

I have both. Like both. The finish on the CSA is very good, but I don't know if I would say it is a better gun. 7.62 is much cheaper to shoot and I use it for deer hunting. I think one of each is the right answer on this one, but if I had to choose just one, it probably would be the 7.62. If you were to ask me tomorrow, it may be a different answer ...

 

[matty86suk]

i own both, in the NR flavour....

 

[aprilfoolsme]

I will own both, just waiting for my Canadian CZ 858 to come from wolverine

 

[lawn gnome]

I own both. No easy decision.
223 for accuracy, but 7.62 for ammo price.

 

[stevey3737]

I owned a nice cz858 liked it so much i didn't want to shoot corrosive through it i traded it on a nicely done up M4 and man i love that gun but i started missing my 858 almost right away i just bought a vz58 in .223 non restricted put the wood on it and i think i like it better than the cz because i can shoot it all day long its as accurate as i can shoot and if by chance i can't clean it that day and it has to wait a day or two than it won't turn to dust on me

 

[fenceline]

Can anyone say whether a vz58 muzzle brake will work the same for both calibres? Or does the 223 calibre take AR style muzzle brakes? There never seems to be any clarification on muzzle brakes sold for the vz58 as to a specific calibre.

 

[saskcop]

I have the Czech muzzle break on both of mine and they seem to work the same.

 

[fenceline]

I have the Czech muzzle break on both of mine and they seem to work the same.

Thanks. Wasn't sure if the inner diameter of the muzzle brake or if the threads were the same for both calibres.

 

[Roughneck12]

Its not but the .223 bullet gets to go out a 7.62 hole. Threads on both barrels are the same, so a muzzle break that works on the Vz will work on the CSA.

No easy decision. I agree, good point as my 762 is more picky on ammo (regarding accuracy) than my 223 carbine. It would an easier decision if the 223 came with a chrome lined bore.

 

[saskcop]

Both my .223 and 7.62 eat any ammo - and then ask for seconds.

 

[Dr.K]

You wouldn't be jumping out of your Toyota Pick-up in the desert with some lame .223 would you?

 

[Ires80]

I think the corrosive ammo is great, I clean my guns after every use so it doesn't matter much to me how dirty the ammo is
