What makes a CSA VZ58 Sporter a Sporter?

[evan the cdn]

What makes a CSA VZ58 Sporter a Sporter? I see them listed by some retailers and the pictures look the same as the non-Sporters listed elsewhere. Also, some companies selling parts say certain parts work with all VZ58's except Sporters.

Thanks in advance.

wikipedia: CSA vz. 58 Sporter: Available in .222 Remington, .223 Remington (5.56 NATO), or 7.62×39mm, these carbines were newly manufactured by Czech Small Arms, and not Česká zbrojovka.

So i assume that because they are not made by cz maybe they are out of spec.

Original vz58's and 858's are assembled from surplus military parts, the CSA rifles are all new manufacture parts. I think CSA decided to name it "sporter" to differentiate it from the surplus parts vz58 and 858 rifles.

yeah that make sense because they have to make a certain number of part in house to be 922r compliant
