VZ-58s and more...FAQs are Post 1

[DaveMachine]

Hopefully it will come in as non-restricted with pre-1945 belts. It would be hilarious for gopher shooting or 3-gun.

Edit: It's pretty ugly but I'm sure it will grow on me as the VZ-58 has.

OK, this vz59 certainly got my attention... Does this mean somebody found a source of cheap 7.62x54R ?? Should we start hording ammunition...

What I like about it is essentially you get a belt fed Bren or sorts. Someone will probably note how the Bren was a Czech design originally, but modified. I think this will best represent what you can expect. It has the same gray paint finish, good blueing and nice wood.

Accessories you can get are 250 round ammo cans and 50 round detachable boxes, armorers kits. I would expect johnone will have belt loaders and x54R ammo as well. While I need to look into it, there might exist a replacement feed cover that takes top fitted box magazines.

We are almost at 200,000 views, BTW.

maybe you should start a vz59 sticky thread.

How's the 7.62x54R on moose? I think I need a new gun...

 

[Deckard]

I probably will start a 59 thread, but I have no say on sticky. I might just edit one of my early posts as a FAQ.

Cheers to that, bro. Good job.

Came across this when looking up info on this rifle;
http://www.bellum.nu/armoury/vz59.html
It seems that there was also a 7.62 x 51 version created for it. The rifle was designated VZ 59N. Still I think the orignal VZ 59L version would be the best!

Cant wait!

I will do so after they arrive and I own one. It will help in the FAQs and I see no benefit of adbertising to our trolls. Better to bury it in the mega thread for now.

$1200 I can do. Hopefully they include the goodies. I would certainly spend $1200-$1500 if it came with lots of belts, box mag, bipod, tripod, heavy and light barrel. This is one of the few times I'm excited by a new import.

Now, what importer is going to get 54r ammo into canada first??
