Muzzle brake for CSA VZ 58 5.56

[jongun]

Looking for a brake for a CSA VZ 58 in 5.56. Anyone know where I can find one? Looking around with no success.

AFAIK, there are no 5.56 specific brakes for the VZ. The 7.62 ones will fit, I believe.

7.62x39 brakes fit. The x39 bullet is larger so no worries.

Or if you can find a thread adapter you can run AK brakes.

Stevo,saw that one just wasn't sure if I needed one in 556 specifically.

Fenceline,do you have first hand experience?

I'm running a 7.62x39 slant brake on my 5.56 right now. The threads are the same for both guns.

Oh nice. Thanks bud. Just not sure if the one from Wolverine is threaded for the CSA rifle though.

vz58 or cz858... it makes no difference. Wolverine sells the rifle, only makes sense that the stuff they sell for it would fit.

Ok just didn't know the two rifles had the same threading. Thanks for clearing that up.

^^^^^^^^^^Almost everything between the VZ58 and CZ 858 are interchangeable. Heads up if you need anything else for it in the future.

Yep certainly seems that way as I see a lot of "for CZ858/VZ58" on suppliers sites. Won't really be doing anything with the rifle besides the brake,side rail mount(on its way from hical) plus would like to get a mount to attach a bipod but without swapping out the original hand guards. Thinking about notching out the bottom guard and setting in a rail for mounting of the bipod.

Corwin Arms has the czech army bipods that attach to the bayo rail.

Yep thanks gosse was just about to post haha you beat me to the punch That's the one I'll be using as it won't interfere with my hand placement on the forestock.

I'm running the NEA Crusader Brake on my 5.56 Vz and it makes quick follow up shots really fun

Where can I find one of those? I like the look of the "krink" style that corwin has but they're sold out. To me it looks real ugly and seems like it would be a perfect match for the ugly ass beaver barf furniture.
