These rifles are made from refurbished/military surplus/NOS parts with the Non-Restricted barrel being new. The military sized barrels are chrome lined-also surplus.

I seriously doubt anything is in the works for any improvement on them. They are what they are, excellent rifles for the money.

I believe the CSA have new receivers and the gremlin has been fixed. As for a non-restricted chrome lined barrel, not sure if it exists.

That's a shame cause I might as well spend $600 less and get an unissued military grade Chinese SKS for $190 that does have chrome lining. No detachable mags, no cool accessories, and not quite as ###y. Loads fast with strippers (with practice), and just as accurate. Did I mention $600 less? That $600 could be spent on 3000 rounds of 7.62x39.

No one is twisting your arm to get one... 750$ isn't that bad IMHO.

I didn't mean to come across as a jerk. I guess I just can't handle the fact that I have to upgrade my license, get an ATT, get harassed more, and build a mini bunker in the house just to get the 58 the way I want it. Oh well.

For what it's worth, if I were to get it, the stock is a nice touch for $50 extra.
 
It's an excellent rifle, lighter and more modern than the sks. I have an sks and love it, but the cz858/vz58 is way cooler. $695 or $750 isn't a lot to pay for a rifle. Milled receiver, it will outlast you. There's a reason why so many have been sold.

i know it sucks and it's a hassle but if it's your dream gun go for it.
 
Does every CZ-858 come with that grey paint looking finish? I've only ever seen one in person, and I'm curious if they are all that way, or are some blued?
 
The one in this thread doesn't look like the original super bomb proof greyish paint that the VZ 58's have...looks more like black to me.

I think that's the 50c question. I would guess, probably not. My bayo is in my closet somewhere, like most other people, that have no use for it.
 
Just found my end the LGR celebration rifle. I've wanted one but held back due to the crappy looking furniture. I now have no reason not to buy.
