SgtToadette 59 Posted January 9, 2013 I just learned about this rifle today and I'm very intrigued to say the least, possibly in the market for one. Does anyone here own one? I'd really like to hear some thoughts on it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
halbautomatisch 60 Posted January 9, 2013 They are not NJ compliant they way they come from CAI (or whoever else is building them). IIRC, you will need to get one with a fixed stock and have the bayo lug ground off before you can take possession of it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M1152 713 Posted January 9, 2013 I just learned about this rifle today and I'm very intrigued to say the least, possibly in the market for one. Does anyone here own one? I'd really like to hear some thoughts on it. I posted a similar question here this past summer after seeing this post on THR but didn’t get replies. From what I understand they are the anti AK & AR rolled into one. For me I wouldn’t even think about now, very slick but probably couldn't even get one even if it were NJ legal, prices would be off the charts. Here's the clone, the VZ2008 here is a VZ58 vs VZ2008 thread Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SgtToadette 59 Posted January 9, 2013 I was looking on GunBroker actually and the price wasn't too outrageous, which was half the reason I was so intrigued. I'm on my phone now, but I'll read those links when I get back to my home computer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gunguy1960 2 Posted January 9, 2013 Ideal for nj, they come in versions with 10 round mags which cost less than $17 to replace from the factory, build quality better than ak, milled reciever, serious caliber, great rifles, try gunbroker or gun auctions.

SgtToadette 59 Posted January 9, 2013 What would have been a fair asking price 2 years or so ago? I see them now for around 1k. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gunguy1960 2 Posted January 9, 2013 1k is a bargain for an "assault" rifle these days, and the vz58 is the best deal there is, and a serious caliber as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

junkmanted 54 Posted January 9, 2013 What would have been a fair asking price 2 years or so ago? I see them now for around 1k. check assault weapons of ohio they sell 100 % recievers and complete guns. I would think they would alter one for NJ. I went the kit and 100 % route Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SgtToadette 59 Posted January 10, 2013 check assault weapons of ohio they sell 100 % recievers and complete guns. I would think they would alter one for NJ. I went the kit and 100 % route Their website appears to be broken for the moment. I've been looking at CzechPoint who apparently imports and converts sporter version of the rifles (meaning no bayonet lug). The unconverted ones are currently available, but if I do end up going the VZ 58 route (still trying to decide if I want to finish my AR or not), I think I'd want the converted one.

COLTGUY 0 Posted December 26, 2013 Hi guys n gals if any women in here, anyway I got a call from a relative that he is buying a CZECH - USA Variant AK rifle, he is in new jersey and explained the milled recvr thing and polymer furniture on it and from the pics it looks very SLEEK and AWESOME from my point of view, (for what ever that might be worth LOL) I was looking for a SKS Norinco or another but I think to many are jumping the gun on new bans these days, anyway does anyone have any, ANY Experience with these rifles,?? ie; handled them, shot one, bought and sold one and why or anything you can lend support for or not to buy one.?? This is the one that was IMPORTED in by CZ-USA and then or now by CZECH POINT or what ever it is but it seems to be a hard one to find/get hold of but I have the opportunity of grabbing one of these as a USED But never Shot weapon with Box, CD., and rifle of course and in 7.62x39 TWO Mags and what ever else comes with it new. The $PRICE I have been quoted is $700.oo Seven Hundred, plus nics no tax and out the door. I am new here and appreciate a real veteran's point of VIEW on this. I know of the century take on this and a few others but I think I like this gun. thanks in advance and the quicker the better as I am in line as FIRST on the LIST, my deadline is Tomorrow by 6pm. TY. new guy PAUL. this is the CZ VZ-58 ak variant milled model etc.... I looked and looked on here for this kind of subject but could not get a clear picture of what I am looking for, so sorry if I re-posted an old post.

junkmanted 54 Posted December 28, 2013 great gun ! Mags are hard to get and I cant tell you about the butt shock you pictured, but the composite furniture is comfortable . It may look like a AK but its nothing like it . will yours be a single or double stack mags ? sorry for the late reply I just spotted this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
COLTGUY 0 Posted January 3, 2014 Junkmanted thanks for your reply and to answer your question about the mags, I am not sure if its a NJ thing but I have the single not the double stack, but they do give you 2 mags with it, and not steel or metal of any sort, but a smoked version of something, lol. Yes I went ahead and bought it and for some reason when the guy asked me to put half down and pay it off within a week that is just what I did. Unknowingly to me when I got to his shop he wanted to take the guns deposit of $360.** and apply it to my last purchase of a COLT 1870 for which I had half down on that too, he said he wanted me to pay off the COLT first and would apply all money's to that then he would hold the VZ58 for me, yeah right, all I can say is I spent about 5K with this guy and now the rules change since I had a revolving credit with him for 8 months then he changed his tune, oh well. more about him later. THE VZ58 is a nice gun and I like the fact it is MILLED not stamped but then we all know the AK's are shooting machines no matter what the environment due to less than tight tolerances of the gun. Anyway I was looking for some info before I bought it but right now I have not fired it and so since I have bulk ammo of 7.62x39 I think I will enjoy shooting this or maybe just hold onto it since out west I am seeing these things go for as much as $2K. with layaway, or $1895.00 bin. lol. Thanks for the reply though cause I enjoy meeting others with similar knowledge and interest, and I see your from LIVINGSTON, NJ, That is my home town, I lived right off rt.10 across from the dinner and just up from the town center, remember the theater that was there or before your time. >>?? The place has changed so much since I was there. well if ok I will ad you to my friends list. look forward to talking again. PS: I paid only $700.oo for the vz58 which is why I think he wanted it back to HOLD FOR ME LOL, knew he made a mistake. hahaha I don't care when I beat a SNEAK at his own game. lol Liars and thieves are a person's two worst enemies. HOW LONG U UP THERE>>?? YOUR AROUND OUR AGE> Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
junkmanted 54 Posted January 7, 2014 jazz96 I just spotted this .. for some reason im net getting email notifications . I remember the movie theater Im 50 been here most of my life Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
COLTGUY 0 Posted January 8, 2014 I lived there with my wife for some years, with family in boonton/Whippany, but my friend Mark Mashberg whom I knew for 30 yrs. and is passed now was someone who knew many ppl up there and I was curious whether you may have known him or not. His father was an oral surgeon, lived up the hill from me off ten, but anyway if u did that would be interesting. thanks for getting back to me. I don't remember or not if I told you but I did buy that VZ-58, the CIA model just did not do it for me, and I love the Milled unit, although not a very good finish job on it, ie; swirls from being milled but one day I may fix that not sure. New they are $950.oo I think... thanks ttys. PAUL.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
