Ok- so come the new year, I'm gonna lay down some serious cash in a fun-to-shoot, black rifle gun.
My original intent was towards the Norinco CQA, as they appear to have a good reputation around here, and is a lot of gun for what its worth.
But now I'm looking at the Czech Small Arms (CSA) 7.5" Compact Vz58.
I understand that some pay consider the CSA a red rifle, but whatever. Anyways- here comes the loaded question: How does the CSA stack up against the Norc?
Here's a few points I've come up with. Feel free to chime in with more.
1- Availability of aftermarket parts: Norc
2- Commonly shared mags: Norc

Seriously, thats the only two I could come up with.
 
Cheap surplus ammo for the CSA... It's corrosive though.
There's a saying around here that goes: buy both or your #### will fall off.

Seriously though you can't go wrong with whichever you like.
 
CSA is much nicer in person. Handle them both and I think your mind will be made up and now with the mag adapters, the magazine problem is not an issue. 10 rounds of 7.62...
 
I wish I could buy both. Apparently not.
Also, the CSA I'm looking at is @ SFRC, and its chambered in .223 Rem, not 7.62.
I just want to spend and invest my money on a good gun that could potentially be run in a 3-gun match.
 
Just from a mag change point, I would lean to the AR platform. Guys who run rock in mags take longer to change. I think the AR is a bit easier to modify to your tastes as you get more experienced and determine what you want. I'm not 100% on this one though.

There are other users here with more experience with both platforms who can provide better information.

Norcs do tend to just work. If you want a starter AR it is not a bad way to go. There is always NEA too but for more initial cash.
