The VZ. 58 (VZ 58) is probably among my favorite rifles chambered in 7.62x39, and it has perhaps the most interesting history. It 100% showed the world the prowess of the Czech's to make a strong, simple and reliable weapon despite being a smaller country compared to the Soviet Union and their venerable AKM.

Used a vz58 for a year in Iraq as a contractor. Not a terrible gun, mine was brand new, hand guard would heat up a lot after a mag or two, but accurate, easy to control, and obviously super cheap for our company. We also had cz75 sp1s which I really loved actually.

I’m from Slovakia, former part of CzechoSlovakia. We still have vz 58 in our arsenal, although civilians go more towards AR-15 these days. Source of cheap, surplus vz 58s and ammo is gone. Anyway, you know the word Pistol came from Czechs? Yeah. In medieval times, there was an uprising against the church which they wanted to be reformed (same as Lutherans later). Warriors of the group called “Husite” (named after reformer Jan Hus) used a pipe filled with gunpowder and rocks, which they called “píšťala” or translated “a flute”. Now from word Pistala you know where the word pistol came from. Also word robot is of czech origin, coming from a book of czech writer Karel Capek, named RUR or “Rossum's Universal Robots”.

I ran a VZ58 in a Vicker's AK class. Vicker allowed it and used it as a teaching point, showing its capabilities and differences. The bolt hold open feature was fantastic during speed drills; I was switching magazines while everyone else was doing "pull trigger....click". On day two, a couple other guys and gals tried it, loved that it was lighter and "handier" than their AKs.

My Czechpoint/ CSA Sporter (VZ-58) has used 4,200 rounds of ammo. I bought the rifle here (in the US) in 2019, nib / new-in-box. Zero issues, very high quality! 98% of the ammo has been fed from only two (2) plastic magazines..Even these magazines are still very rugged and 100% reliable. My wife "Mrs. Liederlover" and I drove from Munich to Passau last September, then to Cesky Krumlov. This is in the southwest area of the Czech Republic. Very nice medieval town with friendly, hospitable people. We stayed on the main street in the Old Town. A military surplus store on Cesky's main street, near the Castle, keeps a deactivated VZ-58 outside the front door during business hours.

Greetings from Czech Republic. We do not took any construction issues from AK for doing vz.58. Externally the vz. 58 resembles the look of AK, but its completely diferent gun. As you already know, vz. 58 has short-stroke piston, different bolt locking and firing mechanism+accessories like magazines, bayonets and others. It shares no parts with AK. Vz. 58 is sort of evolution branch of the vz. 52 semi auto rifle, which was formerly ussed by border guards and is still worn by Czech and Slovakia Castle Guard. Both of these guns supposed to be in different cartridge than 7.62x39mm. Originally were constructed in more powerfull Czech made cartridge 7.62x45mm, but we were forced to use 7.62x39mm..

As seen when Bunny the shotgunner is bayoneted to death and when Sgt Barnes is killed by the main protagonist.

Czech here :D Vz. stands for VZOR, in english Mk. - mark 58. It is always nice to hear something nice about a product from our country. From my point of view, the best thing about this gun is its simplicity. During one of our workshop in students organisation, I had to disassembly and assembly it. I did it once normally (my first time ever), second time blindfolded. Due to small amount of moving parts, blindfolded one took me just 58 seconds (no pun attended, just coincidence). :)

Zdravím :) Well, actually for me is much more legendary the CZ 75 as one of the first and most advanced Wonder Nines. And people who served a military (which I'm not) tell you sometimes horror stories about the Vz.58 :D So of course, there are better Czech designed and made guns, but the 58 is one of the most popular.

@@davidnadrchal27 Nastřílel jsem se se vz.58 mnoho, a jediný problém, který jsem měl, byla sklopná pažba, protože je na moji velikost příliš krátká. Jiné problémy se nevyskytovaly. V základní službě bylo možné narazit na zbraň se kterou voják špatně zacházel, a potom byly problémy. Ale to není konstrukcí, to bylo tím, že ji dali do ruky kdejakému ... Co se týká CZ75, máte naprostou pravdu. Především původní výrobky z 80 let jsou téměř nesmrtelné. Střílel jsem ji soutěžně bez jakýchkoliv úprav, a výsledky byly velmi dobré.

Don't know if anyone reads the comments on these older videos, but it just occurred to me it would be brilliant to do some reliability tests like the mud test on the VZ.58 it doesn't look like it would suffer the same ingress of debris like a standard AK because of the bolt and safety selector. However I also suspect it may fail in arctic conditions with that safety too.
