Brings back my memories of my military service in the Czech rep. in 86-88. We used to have the vz. 58 version with the fixed buttstock. Actuallly I did my 2 year service right next to the sellier bellot factory. Our task was to guard their depots.

txgunner87 exactly. Below guy says Czechoslovakia guns but more specifically Czech. Also, known for Bohemia which has been known for centuries of fine craftsmanship in German bordering region.
A lot of Canadians are about to lose their right to own this rifle due to bill c-71. Contact your rep now, can't let them prohibit this one again, they've already done this to us once!
I remember my army (enlist) days. Everybody hated, when one of the officers grabbed someone's machine gun and shot the blanks. It took ages to clean the barrel. We hated them for this. But once, on a shooting range, I got the privilege unlike the rest of my boys, to shoot 4 full magazines. Full-auto, semi-auto...this machine gun is indestructable. And people are forgetting, it's not the guns, that are killing, it's people. Thanks for the video, sir.
Sa vz.58 is timeless weapon made in Czechoslovakia a completely different system than AK 47,AKM,AK 74 against them is compact, light and It has substantially greater cadence while maintaining accuracy.
All u said is true. But In trainings it gives some fails some times maybe cuz of bullet or cuz of rain and muddy. That's why in action or war it gives me unconfidence. Everytime I choose ak 47. But in car or in city action modified vz 58 is cool.
@@abdullahmarvan5976 These guns are really hard to jam and very easy to clear. I've never even seen feeding issue with over 50+ loads on a vz, as long as you are not gooping the mud into the action there is no reason for it to jam. The semi auto trigger reset in the USA is one of the biggest hang up spots for the bolt, can fail from improper fitment, or ~3000 rounds without cleaning. It should be better in the military version, and an AK will start having hiccups at a similar round count.
LAV, I picked up one of the semiautomatic VZ58s two years ago. It was more of a curiosity than anything else when I saw it along with six magazines, a czech-made 5 mag pouch, and the side folder variant for $495 at a gun shop in Apache Junction AZ. I thought that, for the price, and since I had a metric s-load of 7.62x39 ammo to feed my AK, that a decent rifle for sub $500 it was worth satisfying my curiosity. I am an AR man, and used one as my patrol rifle for nearly thirty years, but damn, I like the VZ58. It's a great little rifle. Thank you for the review.
That's what I always think of when I see this gun. However, I believe they called it the "AK47 CZ" or some such in that game (not to mention AKs having 3-round burst) so despite Bohemia Interactive being from the Czech Republic they must not have particularly been gun guys or familiar with how the Vz 58 works.
@@dil-mobile5393 No vlastne Slovensko sa za ČSR len priživovalo na Česku, my Slováci sme bohužiaľ nevymysleli nič. VZ 58 je čisto česká zbraň, vytvorili ju český konštruktéri. Pravda bolí no. (PS: ja sám som Slovák)
I really like this gun but still I will love this after some upgrades like changing the handguard , buttstock and applying a red dot sight I mean that CZ 58 was shooted in Canadian Gun Vault channel but I am a fan of Larry I love his videos and descriptions about guns.....
This is the V model. I had it issued in the army back in 2003 as a radio operator. My rifle was an amazing machine, it only had broken stock, so when I unfolded it, it would not lock. When I reported the fault, my leader did not care bout it. Than we went to range, we got 3 bullets single shot to hit the target to 50 meters, you had to score minimum 2 bulls eyes of three. You have to aim little lover as kicks up and right. Bear in mind I have never shot rifle so powerful before. Than 9 bullets at full auto to hit two of three figures at 200 meters. Scoring that together would grant you weekend off. I was 23 back than and only shoot airguns as a kid. To pass this was weekend of guaranteed to see your family and girlfriend. I dont know how, but I missed my last target. I knew that I failed, my head down in dissapointment. But when I looked up my target was down. Luckily My friend lying next to me fired at the same time and hit mine target , so I was granted the weekend of. The rifle is amazing, it has all I needed as radio operator. Simple and reliable. Its a piece of great engenearing.
I love the vz....back in the day you could pick them up for super cheap I remember seeing at the gun shows as a kid for next to nothing....well we all know those days are gone which sucks cause I have to get me one of these
Glad to see you're still here i read some shit over the weekend that said they were taking all these off im thankful they haven't prayers they dont I loved the charging bolt on this looks to function pretty flawlessly
Solid video, as always, Larry! Interrogative: Of the interesting, unique guns you present to us on this channel, what percentage, would you estimate, you have had previous experience/interaction with? Thanks!
the action is exposed on for a fraction of a second only after it is fired. otherwise it is always sealed. even if you put something on top it wouldn't have time to get inside. the Ak action has to be opened on the side to be fired and remain open if you plan on firing shortly afterwards. I find this more hazardous.
Haven’t clicked on a video so soon! It’s the coolest 7.62x39 I can think of. I was just thinking about a modern striker fired rifle so that we could enjoy Hk VP trigger quality in a long gun. And maybe VP pistol grips for rifles
These can also be loaded with stripper clips with the slide locked to the rear. That is useful for two reasons. 1) The gun itself works as a mag loader. 2) If you live in a place where detachable mags are a no no, loading from the top with a stripper clip is a good option to have.

Thats the reason why CZ brand is Czech, not the Slovak Firearms... but I understand, that Slovak guys dont like to hear that :-)...... truth is one, Its czechoslovakian gun, developed by czech company :-) easy simple and more effective than AK, but in compare with modern guns, its eh, simply too old and ucomfortable... i hate this gun....

What I just noticed is that the VZ-58 is more ambidextrous than the AK. -Ejects out the top. -Safety is on the left side. -Mag release is on the bottom of the receiver. The only issue is, the charging handle can't be removed. And switched around.
It has got somewhat unique feature: hard chromium plated barrel (inside). when tested it could fire 120 000 shots. around 60 000 the main spring broke tho.
The Czechs make good guns. I used to own a CZ P01 that I liked a lot. The trigger was terrible compared by my SIGs but the thing was drop-dead reliable.
Bill c-71 is about to make it prohibited once again, so get them while we can. Having said that, for the jack wagon above who said sucks to be you I have one word for ya "Norinco"
ExplosiveFetus weapons with full auto receivers should've never been allowed for civilian sale in the first place IMO. Maybe I'll make an exception if the civvie passed a background check and psychological exam, and has had at least 2 years of military service, But that would still be a stretch.
In Canada to have a firearms license you get background checks ran on you daily. And you can be denied a license on psychological grounds. Converted auto receivers have always been prohibited firearms under current law. The problem with the CZ 858s is that the original ones approved by the horse cops were built on newly made receivers that were machined different. But a few subsequent batches were produced with converted auto receivers, which is a no-no up here. Same goes with the Swiss Arms rifles that are getting the same treatment. CSA made Vz 58 and the Westrifle Canadian-made Vz are still non-restricted, as are any CZ made rifles not listed under the proposed bill.
Patrick Lloyd you don't know what you're talking about. They weren't full auto, they were built off of FA receivers **converted to semi auto**, these weren't fucking machine guns. It's just Canadian law being retarded
I have this rifle since my 14, Im 27 now and it still works flawlessly. Its a national treasure, beloved by many. Every man in here knows how to handle it. Every man should! Its his duty. Its just as iconic for my nation as Škoda Cars, Tatra Trucks, Jaromír Jágr hockey player, Pilsner, Budweiss and Kozel beer and so forth. My father had converted one in to hunting carabine for 10 rounds. It can be also fed with stripper clips for speed mag reload. Just push the clip down when the bolt is locked back. This rifle has beaten the AK in many aspects. We were actuaely forbiden to export this gun in SSSR as the Soviets didnt want that kind of competition for their AK. You can see why. Its thinner, lighter, shorten, lower profile, much more manuverable gun and compact. And just as reliable and it shoots better, not in full auto though. I give that to the AK. Due to its longer gass chamber and bigger weight.
well thats to be expected from weapon with milled and tempered steel receiver instead of bent "tin foil" xD PS:before someone gets his panties in a twist i know its steel too, still its just pressed and riveted sheet metal - cheap to produce and "good enough" but milled and hardened steel is what it is. the funny part is that VZ58 is still lighter being milled receiver gun than sheet metal AK
@@Asghaad also the beaver barf furniture in the VZ is lighter than regular wood, and the rifle is less cumbersome than an ak. this sidefolding VZ fits in a violin case. it's less visual than an underfolder Ak in a tennis racket bag.

Love these guns. One thing I notice is that in the slow mo shots. This gun does not flex as much as the AKs you've shot without slant breaks.

I have this rifle since my 14, Im 27 now and it still works flawlessly. Its a national treasure, beloved by many. Every man in here knows how to handle it. Every man should! Its his duty. Its just as iconic for my nation as Škoda Cars, Tatra Trucks, Jaromír Jágr hockey player, Pilsner, Budweiss and Kozel beer and so forth. My father had converted one in to hunting carabine for 10 rounds. It can be also fed with stripper clips for speed mag reload. Just push the clip down when the bolt is locked back. This rifle has beaten the AK in many aspects. We were actuaely forbiden to export this gun in SSSR as the Soviets didnt want that kind of competition for their AK. You can see why. Its thinner, lighter, shorten, lower profile, much more manuverable gun and compact. And just as reliable and it shoots better, not in full auto though. I give that to the AK. Due to its longer gass chamber and bigger weight.
Production team is on point as always, great work
Love this channel
Thanks for the video! I am so getting one!
Looking good, Larry, keep it up. Nice video, too.
Thanks
The LAV lookin good. Lost a whole lot of weight! Hope you're well and healthy, sir.
Very little receiver flex when compared to an AK...... Solid rifle!
well thats to be expected from weapon with milled and tempered steel receiver instead of bent "tin foil" xD
PS:before someone gets his panties in a twist i know its steel too, still its just pressed and riveted sheet metal - cheap to produce and "good enough" but milled and hardened steel is what it is. the funny part is that VZ58 is still lighter being milled receiver gun than sheet metal AK
@@Asghaad also the beaver barf furniture in the VZ is lighter than regular wood, and the rifle is less cumbersome than an ak. this sidefolding VZ fits in a violin case. it's less visual than an underfolder Ak in a tennis racket bag.
Looking great!!
