Glad I’ve got a bunch of OEM aluminum mags for mine!

Wow! Pretty sure the base plate and follower are Czechpoint/US-made parts...  Many +1 baseplates for pistols include an allen key screw, and this new polymer mags appear as if they'd definitely benefit with that too.

But when considering that Vz58 mags were ~50 years ahead of AR15 mags insofar as reliability that's pretty remarkable (AR15 mags really weren't all that reliable until mid 2000s/well after the Iraq invasion).

Really want to get another one of these. I had the Century Arms version VZ2008 and it was a great rifle! Wish I would not have sold it off.

1k rounds suppressed. Pretty neat. I’ve read a lot of opinions that the VZ will not suppress well, but it he says it does.

Keep an eye on gunbroker.  Used, but vg+ to excellent condition, czech-made (Dtechnik and CSA) VZ58s have been going for under $900 for a few recent auctions.

Finally - vindication!  I held the line against my AK and AR buddies for over 10 years now, through the D-Tech to CSA years, no threaded muzzle and bayo lug to having both, supposed lack of mags, lack of US parts, etc.  Rob Ski is one of their idols!  This is fabulous!  I can rest now.  I’m glad I listened to RSR and kept my last instead of selling them!  Back to parts and ammo....
