Joining this forum after getting a VZ-58 (Built off of a D-Technik reciever)
Really excited to get to shoot it.
I do have two questions, what are the quickest parts to break (I like to have extras) and also is anyone selling the original style folding stock?
Thanks for having me here!
D-Technik is the former Czech Small Arms that bought all machinery and spare parts from CZ-UB.
Gunbroker and vz58usa.com generally have folding stocks from domestic sellers. Vz58rifle.com is a foreign seller that often has them as well.
Believe there's a sticky here on spare parts for both milsurp and aftermarket.
But offhand:
Bonesteel's spare Vz58 parts are generally high quality.
Some gunbroker sellers are selling out of arsenal spare parts crates, so new old stock milsurp, while others are selling from used parts kits.
Some parts like trigger are proprietary to CSA, so need to buy spares from Czechpoint for those. And Czechpoint's spare parts usually specify if used or new as well as if new or original milsurp production, but pretty much all in useable condition AFAIK.
Numrich and Sarco historically have had rough milsurp demilled spares for their inventory.
RobertRTG has a few decent high quality milsurp spare parts.
Apex is all over the map in quality and appears to have bought Century's remaining inventory for Vz2008s as well as maybe getting some other batches in (maybe from Israel?). But their inventory has been declining and hasn't been meaningfully replenished AFAIK.
Am sure there are others both domestically and a whole lot internationally, including those mentioned in folding stock option above as well.
Definitely stock up on the standard consumables: firing pins, springs, small detents (CNC Warrior sells some of those on occasion), other bolt parts, pistons, etc.
