Who has a 2012/2013 CSA VZ 58 and has or has not had bolt problems?

[ActiveShooter]

You said it failed in "less than 300" rounds in the other thread. That's where I got the "300" number in my previous post, since your number was the highest round count before failure.

What year is your gun? It's written on the bottom right of the rear sight. Thanks.

3-400ish round, ill get year later

Yes 2 bolts and 1 carrier 2013 model 7.62 version
400 ish rounds.

Functions for now! Not happy!

I've got 2 11.75" CSA rifles. The 7.62 has about 1000 rounds through it with no issues (solid rifle) and the 5.56 only has about 100 rounds through it with no issues. I need to fire the 5.56 rifle more to put my mind at ease about the firing pin due to them being prone to breakage.

Please guys post how many rounds it took to break it, so we can collect data on mean rounds before failure. Thanks!

I just got a new 2013 18.5"

Zero rounds fired: one total failure!

This is my warranty replacement from my first VZ58. New rifle firing pin broke doing reload drills with snap caps. I have ZERO rounds fired so far!

Pretty irritated thus far with my replacement. I will post back after getting a few rounds through it.

You must love your T97 very much.

2013 5.56 NR with about 1000 rnds. No problems. Very reliable gun but definitely not a target rifle.
