vz58 in Modern Military Combat

[allarile260]

Maybe we could get a picture thread going for this? Seeing as there is a m14 in modern military thread in the Main Battle Rifles forum.

These guys must be special forces, need that special training to carry around a big bag of spare bolts and firing pins where ever they go.

If you run a gun as it was designed (proper barrel length and caliber) you don't have issues - issues come almost entirely from messing around with the design.

Explain 16" AK barrels and 23" RPK barrels. Same design.

An extra 4" of barrel is easy to compensate.

I don't know...I've put 3000+ rounds of surplus through an 858 without a single hiccup.

Vz58's are said to be great rifles, the Czech military has been using them for quite sometime. Also the cz858 is a great rifle in my opinion. The csa vz58 in .223rem is hit and miss from what I hear, pretty sure any of us would love to own a military grade vz58, I sure as hell would.

Pardon my ignorance, but is there a big difference between those and AK-47 or AK-74?

You must be thinking about the CSA versions cuz ALL the original CZ's I've had have been problem free.
Lol and I have had amd have lots!!

Other than the round they use, no nothing similar.

Cool thread!

I thought the sight was interchangeable

 

[Plasticman]

nope. the ak sight actually is longer and has more unrealistic distance adjustments.

And this is a cool thread. These guys know what works and what doesn't. Interesting to see what they use for their set-up's

 

[fenceline]

Nope. Nothing out of the box matches either rifle. Except 7.62x39 cartridges. And maybe slings.

It's the same type of sight, but not interchangeable.

 

[Ohno]

This guy has put a "loudener" on his barrel

16 inch AK's come with 1mm stamped receivers, 23 inch RPK's come with 1.5mm stamped receivers - put an RPK barrel on an AK receiver and watch the fun. It's like US AK's with bolted trunnions, both bolts and rivets are fasteners, but bolted trunnions are bad news and even using the wrong rivets is bad news. Incidentally, if you have one of the old "non-restricted" 18.5 barrel Chinese AK's, you'll find it was built on an RPK receiver, whereas if you have an old "restricted" Chinese AK it'll more than likely have an AK receiver (they standardized on the RPK receiver towards the end).
