My CSA VZ58 Carbine (5.56)

What a beauty! But, the safety lever go the other direction? Do all CSAs flip forward?

Yep, safety goes the other way.

 

[id64]

Atleast you did it. Thats all that matters. Now if only you had some WOOD to put on it.

Nah, I am going to leave this one without wood Well, at least for now.

Damn it! Magpul should start making mags for this thing NOW!

Oh nice!!!

How well do the magpul mags work? What are the potential issues? I read in the documentation that polymer mags are not recommended but are they just covering their ass or is there some issue with the polymer mags and the way this rifle works?

looks like it doesnt even fit all the way in. Ohwell 2 10 rounders are even better and look good IMHO.

It's hard to tell for now since I didn't fire this carbine yet But it works with snap caps. Locking back not always works and those mags have been sanded down to fit my Armalite lower. I don't think that unmodified Magpul mags will fit at all. Need to try Tangodown mags one day. Well, for show - those Magpul mags will fork just fine, but for the range day I all use LAR's anyways.

It goes all the way, but I agree with you about 2 LArs. They look as good and 4 times more functional.

And now we need .22 LR CONVERSION KIT!!!

I'm not trying to start something or want to get flamed....
but I got the 7.62x39 carbine version because it makes me kringe thinking about mods to make my brand new toy "work".

id64 I hope everything works out for you.

I got 5.56 version for the 2 reasons. Use 10 round magazines and shoot it sometimes at my clubs indoor range. They allow to use frangible .223 ammunition. Expensive, but saves the trip to Silverdale I've got 7.62 in non restricted format for a pure, raw fun

 

[id64]

How about this variant?

 

[johNTO]

looks a little nose heavy. Maybe an Aimpoint T-1?
Target Sports allows 7.62x39 now.....(jk)

 

[Pooker]

Magpul E-Mags should work if P-Mags don't.

RANGE REPOT PLEASE i want to see how well the adapter works with all different mags

 

[Satain]

How about this variant?

Naa...
It looks like it can't co-witness so I don't like it.

 

[MightyAPSS]

I haven't bought vz58 11.5 " yet, but already purchased the ammo for it... I'll probably get it in January...Nice clicks

 

[Bcviking]

sell the eotech a put on a aimpoint micro ,, its more compact and will sit lower

 

[Mikjk]

I wonder if EMAGs would work?

 

[Milsparro]
