CSA 58 in 223

Who else has a CSA 58 in 223? I really like mine. Fantastic shooter.

I had one and sold it. It was extremely accurate and really impressed me. 7.62x39 was cheaper to shoot for me, but was impressed by the 5.56.

Not to thread steal, but is there any word about more new 5.56 vz58s coming to Canada? They seem to be sold out everywhere for some time.

Didn't realize they're sold out everywhere. If you're looking for one you might want to email an importer and ask.

I have one. Love it. Just made a new handguard for mine. Going to finally try a red dot. It's perfect for shooting a gong in the bush with open sights. I chose .223 for ease of reloading. You can reload .223 for close to $200 a thousand if you shop around.
Pistol mag conversion is nice. Non restricted. Even at today's prices, it's a fun rifle.

I have one in tan and its so much fun too shoot. I got mine as a trade and there a big ass brake on it and works wonders.

I designed and manufacture the brake for mine. Works great.

Almost bought one, but in the end cheaper ammunition and (IMO) better-looking magazines with the 7.62x39 version won me over. Nevertheless think it would be cool to own a shorty VZ in .223 if only to replicate one of the rifles used in Strike Back.

I have one with the 11.75" barrel. Most fun rifle I have, and surprisingly accurate. This thing rules.

Any reliability issues?
Does the STANAG adaptor come pre-installed?
If after market, is it reliable?

The adaptor I have is made by csa. Installs easily. Flawless so far with 10 round lar pistol magazines.

It's after market. It works quite well and I've had no issues.
