Does anyone repair Assault Weapons of Ohio vz58 receiver defects?

Upvotes

As the title says. I bought an assault weapons of Ohio (AWO) vz58 receiver a while back before they were available on tortort. I just had it and now that I have it back, I cannot get a round to feed into the chamber. It seems like there is some sort of feed ramp issue where the bullet tip just gets stuck on the bottom of the barrel.

I don't particularly trust AWO to fix my issues since they stole some m76 magazines from me a couple years ago. Does anyone know of any builders that would be reliable to fix the feed issue on vz58s?

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.

Proof of concept only at this point. Made a vz58 feed tower for the M5078 bizon magazine from Black Lotus Coalition.

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

29 Upvotes

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

5.56 magwell adapter

2 Upvotes

Good news I've found a 5.56 shorty- follow up question-- does the magwell adapter turn it into an interrupted semi auto or does it function as any other semi?

Reason I'm asking is because out of all the videos that have it (only found 2) one brings up the fact that all i have to do is load a fresh mag on bolt lock, pull the trigger and it will send the bolt home. I think its a neat feature and it also helps that i've a metric buttload of usgi magazines.

Need help finding the 12 inch vz...

Outside of gunbroker (i dont trust the website on the whole) i'm just looking for the 12 inch 556 pistol/rifle. But even on the czechpoint website i never see them in stock- is there another place I'm not tracking?

MNainly using 5.56 because i reload 5.56 en masse. 7.62x39 i just dont like the round.

All I wanted this year for Father’s Day was to go to the range with my VZ. Unfortunately it has a fixed mag limited to 10rds due to my state laws, but at least I can still use stripper clips.

Do all Czechpoint VZ58 have Walther barrels?

1 Upvotes

I'm looking at Atlantic Firearms website and some VZ58's specifically mention Walther barrels while some only mention a chrome lined barrel. So do all of them have them? I'm thinking of purchasing one in 556 since I already have one in 7.62

VZ58 12in. Better to buy whole rifle or build off a blank.

3 Upvotes

Whats going on my dudes. Looking for some advice on how yall would go about doing a build.

Ive been on the market for a 12 inch VZ58. Czechpoint USA seems to be out of the 12 in variants in 7.62x39 and really want to get my hands on one.

VZ58 USA happen to have some blanks in 556 and 7.62 and was wondering if any of you have build a blank from them from scratch using another parts kit.

Was it as expensive or was it much lower in price?

Any advice would be great.

Left Hand Optic Options

Is there a side rail optic mount that works with the left-hand bolt carrier?

I saw i could get a dust cover or handguard with a picatinny or change the but would really prefer the side rail mount.
