Bolt Action Vz58: It's a real thing

[TV-PressPass]

From The Firearm Blog:

"CZ may have abandoned the vz. 58 rifle, but Czech Small Arms (CSA) continues to produce a range of different models. The CSA vz. 58 rifles are chambered in 7.62x39mm and .223 Remington. They vary in size from the PDW-sized Compact to the much larger Sporter Rifle. CSA even produces a bolt-action version with a thumbhole stock, presumably for places where they either ban all semi-automatics or just ban them for hunting. The rifles below were on display at IWA ’13."

They also make them in 222 and other cals. Take alook at their website, they have the same plus a aelection of some other goodies.

In the CZ 858 manual it says that there's a bolt action 858.

The CZ 858 TACTICAL 5 P and CZ 858 TACTICAL 5 V versions are in their design made as repeating rifles (Bolt Action).

I've tried looking it up but have never found anything.

Meanwhile in the CSA factory:

"We need to make a bolt action version in case the gun gets banned."

"Take the return spring out. BAM. Bolt action complete"

But it will use the mags that were initially designed and intended for semi-auto center fire rifles, so the mags will be pinned to five given their original intended use.
