How can I tell if my VZ-58 Sportster is Chrome Lined?

Here's a pic of the chrome lining off of a 2014 N/R

You can also look at the chamber and see the chrome start on the bevel leading into the chamber. A little easier to see.

Entirely wrong. A CSA NR rifle can be chrome lined. I know because mine is.

cz858lover stop asking about this. You asked a month ago and you should have learned. If you really want to know, email Czech Small Arms with your serial number and ask them. I did that, and confirmed mine is chrome lined.

Yes you're right. I've just been really busy and didn't have much time to work on it. Now I'm just getting back into restoring this gun and really would like to know if it is in fact chrome lined or isn't.

I like the idea of emailing them with the S/N. I think I will do that. thanks for the idea

Csa did not chrome line vz58 till 14/15. I remember everyone was begging for them and csa listened. If yours is a 2012 it's not chrome lined.

I had a chrome lined '13

Too bad it was an utter P.O.S.

What was wrong with it that made it "an utter P.O.S"

I would guess a poorly heat treated receiver or some internal issue. You would notice if yours had either issue fairly quickly.
