CSA Sa vz. 58 Sporter Tactical

Scope mount side rail, picatinny front guards, muzzle break, possibility to use AR-15 / M-16 magazines using the CSA mag well adapter (applies to .222. and 223 Rem calibers only). Advantages of Sa vz. 58 over AK-47 rifles: All vz. 58 rifles possess a milled receiver; the vast majority of AK-47s utilize stamped sheet metal receivers and are not as rigid as the vz.58 receiver. Even with the milled receiver it is almost one pound lighter than a stamped AK-47. The bolt of the vz. 58 stays open after the last round in the magazine has been fired – the shooter immediately knows the firearm is empty and allows for quicker reloads. The vz. 58 can be reloaded with stripper clips while the magazine is inserted inthe rifle. The vz. 58 has a more natural point of aim and is faster handling. The safety is more ergonomic making a faster first shot possible with the vz. 58. Unlike the AK safety, the vz. 58 safety can be operated by just a forefinger with the hand remaining on the pistol grip. vz.58 has no need for an ejection port dust cover as the receiver is completely enclosed. A cover (on the safety lever) must be used on the AK-47 to prevent debris from entering the receiver through the reciprocating charging handle slot. The ejection port is HUGE. There is no chance of an empty case getting stuck in the action of the vz. 58.The vz. 58 gas piston can be removed or exchanged without tools. The alloy magazine of the vz. 58 is half the weight of the steel AK-47 magazine. The vz. 58 is striker fired unlike the hammer fired AK-47. This reduces the number of parts and possible points of failure.
