r/vz58

How is the VZ58 so much lighter than an AK despize being made out of a solid milled piece of steel while the standart AK is just stamped sheet metal. The VZ has a even 1.6mm thick receiver like a Zastava too. It really surprised me when i had the oppertunity to hold both rifles at the same time.

Broken firing pin

Hello all,
I have a vz58 in 762x39 that I’ve had for a while. It has 500 or so rounds through it of Wolf and PPU range line. It’s functioned flawlessly and is my favorite rifle I’ve owned. It’s not a century product. Anyways the firing pin broke. My last range trip it ran perfectly and then when I went to shoot it yesterday click— no boom on the first round chambered. Is this a common issue with vz’s or might I have a lemon? I plan on throwing another firing pin in once I receive it.
Thanks!

original military accuracy test/proof targets for VZ 58

Hi, wanted to share this unusuall collectible i recently got my hands on. What you see here are original, factory, 100m accuracy test targets for Samopal vzor 58, those were packaged from factory in the wooden crates with 10 rifles and most likely discarded once they arrived to the designated units. I would consider those to be quite rare, i mean who else has it or more likely why would anyone take it at the time. Overall i have few going through years from 1970someting up to 1990something, different test shooters, 2 or 3 types and some have quite a good shot spread for a 100m shooting, some, less so. Anyhow, hope you like this.

cheers
