Why didn't this weapon gain much recognition? Also, I've been hearing a lot of praises about this gun; how it is way more superior than AK47/AKM, but how is it compared to more modern rifles like M4 variants or the CZ 805 Bren?
>>
>>34812347
It's not "way more better than akm". It's marginally better at best and far less prolific. The market is already dominated by AKs. No one needs it.
>>
Its a decent gun, but the praises come from it being cheaper than AKs for the longest time and also less mainstream for that hipster appeal. Much like the Mosin, poorfags memed it up to justify their purchase.

It's really nice for people who live in places where the AK is banned because they get to have a high quality semi-auto rifle that shares the ergonomics and common AK 7.62x39 caliber.

1-Because no one but the Czechs made it
2-As already stated, aks dominate the Slav salt rifle market

It wasn't adopted by one of the major political blocs. If the US or Russia had come up with it and the Czechs had come up with the AR or AK, it would be the other way around.

Had one. Liked it. With the control upgrades North Eastern Arms used to make for them the ergos were superior to an AR's. Don't like the ballistics on x39. Sold it and bought an AR. With a BAD lever the AR's ergos are almost as good as a VZ's.

Locking system is more of a problem. Tilting bolt has an advantage over rotating bolt in military service(if the bolt or locking surfaces break it's much easier to fix them, with rotating bolt you have to replace the bolt, receiver/barrel/whatever) but civilians only get less accurate rifle out of it since 90% of the time they won't experience part breakage and if they do, buying new parts is the default way to fix those anyway.

They did, but the locals prefer AKs, the Vz bolt carrier guide rails don't really like fine dirt or sand.

Well, AK was designed for swamp use (lel) VZ was designed to troll the Troll.
>>
>>34812347
Because it's really not any better than an AK.
It's perfectly ok, the AK is just kind of better.

Think the comparison of an AC556 to an M16A1. The AC556 isn't bad, it's in fact a pretty decent rifle, it's just that the M16A1 is way better.
Get one if you want one, they're fine rifles, but you're not really better off getting one over an AK. On the other hand, you're not really awfully worse off picking one over an AK either, a rifle is a rifle, both are 7.62x39mm rifles operating on a gas piston.

>>34812520
That too.
Like the Mini-14, it's a decent alternative if your government is trying to cuck you.
>>
>>34816778
still a toy lmao
>>
>>34818601
Uh, no?
The AC556 is a shitpile. The VZ is everything the AK should have been, and more. It's lighter, more accurate, made to much higher standards and just about damn near as reliable. Short stroke > long stroke.
>>
>>34817553
Vz58 doesn't so much use a tilting bolt as it uses a tilting locking block, think sort of like on a Beretta 92 pistol or Walther P38 pistol.

It's not quite the same thing. The Vz58 actually has pretty ok accuracy, given it's not a less nice Century one (which can be improved still by replacing the slant-cut brake).

An off the shelf Vz58 in 5.56mm will outshoot basically any military issued FAL, for instance.

The magazine is better, though. Lighter, has a last-round bolt hold-open and can be loaded with stripper clips when inserted into the rifle. Good stuff.

There are better .22lr pistols than Rugers, but they are the most prolific so they have the best aftermarket and economy of scale.

>>
>>34812347
I'll tell you I don't like how the Czechs put the slide stop actuators behind the mag... I don't like it.

Beyond that, the vz is extremely popular in Canada because ak's are banned by name and this is not an ak. That's probably a huge source of the praise.

I actually owned one and did not like it nearly as well as my ak's. Functionally, the only complaint was that it is very easy to ride the bolt. However, they don't do as well in mud tests and the lack of market share was annoying.

>It's lighter

When will people stop regurgitating this?
It's almost precisely the same weight as the AKM, which came out at the same time.
It's significantly lighter than the AK-47, which is completely irrelevant since no one gives a shit about the AK-47.
>>
>>34819630
The only one lighter is the AKS-74U which has an 8.1" barrel vs the VZ58's 15.4" while also being chambered for a smaller round. Every other AK pattern rifle, be it a 47, AKM or whatever, is heavier. Often more than a pound heavier.
>>
>>34813527
Czechs supplied IRA with weapons and explosives, using Libya as a proxy.
The vz58s in Full Metal Jacket were taken from IRA
>>
>>34819630
Since we're on the subject, here's some weights I took on a scale. The vz58 would at least be lighter than my wood stocked ak-74 if it wasn't for the scope rail.
All loaded with 10rd mag or 10rds in the sks's case, or the standard 5rd loaded mag in the vepr12.
11 psl (scope included)
9.5 308 vepr-fm folder
9.5 mas 49/56
10.8 rpk-556
7.5 ak-74
7.5 vz58(extra few oz from scope rail on side)
9.5 vepr12
8.4 sks
I need to redo this without mags though. I don't remember why I decided to do it with any mags inserted. I also remember weighing the psl scope separately, but don't remember what it weighed now.

Just weighed both. No sling, no mag, beaver barf on the 58, laminate wood on the AKM.
No cleaning kit capsule in the AKM buttstock and no cleaning rod to make it fair, as the 58 also stores them separately.
If you insist on having the rod in, add some 2 ounces.

Vz. 58 - 6.53 lbs
AKM - 6.61 lbs

Don't forget the AKM barrel is nearly 1" longer.
Replacing the furniture on both rifles with polymer would likely result in the AKM actually coming in lighter, laminate wood is heavy.

Century used to sell 'em for $400 with extra mags, I (as well as many other kommandos) bought it when it was a great deal, now they're about $800 from Century. At this point, it'd be cheaper to buy a surplus AK or save a couple hundred more for a quality Czechpoint vz.

I sold off 3 AKs (mak-90, SAM7R, m70-ab2) but kept my VZ58's. I like them much better than the AKs and they were cheap. I got them when they were $400 with 5 mags, mag pouch, bayonet, sling, cleaning kits a few years ago. Bought a couple brakes and a solid stock for one. Very good guns for that price point. I wouldn't put them at their current market value as anything other than collectable.

Season one (now called origins) is very worth a watch.
Seasons two-three are decent, different cast from S1, but after that it gets pretty formulaic with occasional good episodes. Seasons 2-5 are one long plot line with season six as its own thing.

It's a short stroke gas piston system, it gas a large amount of blowback due to the design of the bolt and lack of a dust cover, the entire design of the bolt and everything is basically a vz 52 in a platform reminiscent of the ak.

This. Plus the ak can be tuned and recoil can be reduced quite a bit with gas jetting the gas ports.
The short stroke system cant really be modified on the VZ58 to reduce the recoil impulse from its violent action.

No idea where that'd ever come from, the vz is super tame, both mine and a vz2008 a buddy has.
I don't even think a mosin or kar98 has hardly any recoil unless you are an absolute bonehead at shouldering properly. A 12ga slug etc from something like a pump action so you get the full force is where recoil starts to eek out of the tame category. Even then, a rubber wimp pad negates a lot of it.

Literally anything, including bare threads.
That thing really messed with the accuracy of my friend's vz2008.
Get a slovakian brake clone if you get one, it's what's supposed to be there.

Do you buy the slightly better rifle with proprietary parts, or do you take the universal rifle that is known to be a great rifle for free?

I have this one: https://www.czechpoint-usa.com/vz-58-muzzle-brake

You can get that, or clones of it, from a lot of places like zahal or gunexpert on ebay.

Yeah, but he might not have a thread protector on hand yet, and still wants to shoot his gun accurately.
So he might have to go a session without it, no big deal. You can use it as a thread protector between shootings, or better yet, just grind the end off of it to turn it into a muzzle nut instead of a crap brake.
>>34832821
No clue, it's a friend of mine shooting it. Some sort of winter camo gloves, that's all I know.

The aftermarket literally doesn't matter though unless you're some tacticool fag who needs 20 devices and rails hanging on his gun

As for magazines:

But yeah, they are twice as light though because alloy.

I have two of the CNC warrior knirld comps and they are great.

Sand the back until it locks into the detent snug against the front sight post. The first time you put it on you may notice some wobbling. Sand a little at a time until you get a snug fit. That will ensure it doesn't get struck from movement. It too me about 10 minutes per rifle to fit. Don't be afraid to clamp in a vise and tighten the brake down by putting a rod through the port holes.

The slant brake is the worst. It throws the rear of the rifle into your cheek. With a folder that is the last type of brake you want.

CNC Warrior has a Type 84 birdcage flashhider with M14 x 1RH for ~20 bucks. Miles better than the slant brake it came with, but it's an obvious US part. If you've got a Slav obsession, the same outfit makes commie look-a-like brakes in the same threads

The gun that was superior to the AK in both simplicity, production, and use would be Korobov's TKB-517.

However it was not adopted because the AKM was in full production at that point.

I own a CSA VZ58 with all of the dressings. I love this rifle.

However, I also own a DAKM and believe it to be stratopheric for the price.

I'd consider these two to basically be 'the pinnacle' of what anybody should be interested in terms of a combat rifle out of the combloc. a few things I've noticed:

1. VZ58 is more expensive out of the gate. This is before you start to try and add on aftermarket parts, which are rarer and more expensive in my experience.

2. VZ58 is lighter. In fact, its mags fully loaded weigh less than fully loaded Magpul AK PMAG Gen3s (with steel lugs and spine).

3. VZ58 is more accurate than the AK, but not the DAKM by Definitive Arms (they do gunsmithing on the rifles + nitride barrel). So really one could say "VZ58 is more accurate than most AKs unless you get one of the better ones."

4. VZ58 is 'handier'. It's all around easier to handle and has outstanding ergonomics- if you buy the aftermarket parts like the mag release and LRBHO lever. This adds a not inconsiderable amount of extra cost (see #1 in this list).

5. AK has slightly better optic mounting options. You cannot put an optic on the side rail in all of the same places on the VZ58 due to its open ejection port.

6. This is where things got a bit complicated for me personally. The VZ58, according to those who have used them 'in the field' (e.g. contractors in the sandbox, armorers in the sandbox, etc) tended to 'break more often' than AKs. There's a thread over on the AKFiles about it. Guy said they broke more than FALs, M4s, AKs, G3s, etc.

Title of the AKfiles thread is 'VZ58 large round count - longevity'

Personally, I'm mostly interested in #6. I'd love for Rob Ski to do some serious testing on a VZ. But the issue gets compounded when you realize that CSA doesn't create new bolts or other internals for the rifle yet, just 'hand picked' milsurp. No telling what sort of condition or abuse they've been in up until that point.

That's the first wood vz that I actually like. Maybe it looks better in the sun with natural light, but that is fucking sexy. Where did you get it?
