    It would make sense to me to chamber it into 5.56 NATO instead of 7.62 x 51. The latter would seem a little overdone. First, the rounds are more expensive. Then, if you want the range (distance), there are more appropriate rifles to handle that.

    I've also heard that the action isn't that reliable in its native 7.62 x 39, so how would it handle a much more powerful round? Would the action be more prone to stoppage or breakdown with the harder recoil?

    Tons of dealers carried them! I know P&D and Wolverine had them for sure.

    They even have an adapter to use AR pattern mags.

    That said, if the VZ58 in 7.62x51 happens I'm for sure in for one. 7.62NATO is a great cartridge and it would be nice to get a non-Chinese semi-auto for under $2000.

    Yep I'm pretty sure SFRC has them too. North Sylva should show CZ this thread and be like bam, big market!

    Id take one in 12ga and 7.62 provided they could use the same accessories as the current ones do (Although the 12ga wouldnt accept the current fabdefense handguards because of an enlarged barrel) and the 762 x 51 uses m14 mags or something else thats cheap and readily available. Also if they didnt have the crap fake wood it would be a nice option.
