I have a VZ 58 rifle and I heard that some part in the receiver is prone to breakage. Due to being swapped out upon importation as per some dumbass BATF Reg. If this is true, what part is it and where can I get a spare ?
I am new to this rifle and need some familiarization.

AWESOME! I have the tactical sporter and it is awesome, I’ve put about 500 rounds through it no problems. AK parts are not interchangeable. They are based on the German STG44. BUY IT!

I own a vz and I must say I strongly prefer it to an AK. It’s lighter and the trigger doesn’t have that terrible slap that the AK’s seem to have. The bolt locking back on empty mags is handy too.

Gothchick:

1.) Marketing appeal? What the hell, they were designed back in 1958 and until now they weren’t exported.

2.) Nothing will break, unless you put through it 1000 rounds a day for a year. Also, CZUSA sells spare parts, too.

3.) If you don’t believe they don’t break, then listen – I’ve had one back on basic training in 2008. It was from 60′s production, without a single repair, and worked without a single jam, no matter if I shot it in total mess like mud, sand, water or whatever. It went through hands of soldiers for some 50 years, being smashed, pulled through mess and shot almost every week, working without a single jam and shooting just fine – cca 2 MOA. It’s an amazing rifle.

These certainly look like an AK variant… For marketing appeal perhaps? But if it can’t use AK parts then what good is it? If something breaks, good luck trying to get it fixed… I’ll keep my Saiga which uses 95% AK parts, thank you.

I’d love to see these on the gun rack of a California gunshop! Boy would I!
