Czechpoint VZ58 Builds?!?!

[jb2sea]

If Green Mountain made it, then it's absolutely possible.

Oh, I forgot another plus for the VZ2008... the barrel comes threaded, so you can switch up muzzle devices to your heart's content.

Though for new people with open minds and haven't made a choice yet - Czechpoint has versions with threaded barrel as well... I have carried weapons professionally and choose Czechpoint hands down.  I'm sure plenty of others in my boat would choose VZ2008 - I just don't care.  This debate popping up in threads is as consistent as a good case of herpies - like those threads on the merits of the 5.56 - always returning.  If anyone bought a rifle that was subject of this thread, like I happily did, PM me when you get yours

I give up

NO offense to those posting - its the open forum.  Just been there done that re: Czechpoint YAY or NAY (YAY).....For six years.

Great thread.    Lmao

My VZ59 is on the way home from the OEM fitted for a new heavy barrel.  It was a tough decision to get the original VZ59 with the added heavy Czech barrel, original Czech tripods, optics, brakes, extra springs, linear hammers, belts etc... when I could have bought at least 17 VZ2008s instead, or a used Corolla.   

I think the CSA Czechpont VZ58 is the bleep. I would love to get one to add to the collection.

CollectorVegas - Hey, forums are great for info and questions.  Never feel bad about asking anything.  I'd google something like "Czechpoint vs. VZ2008" and you'll see TONS of threads comparing the two (including posts on this forum).  Or - ask away here.  I just shy away from that debate personally since it is WELL covered.  If my buddy and I are getting shot at - I'd worry more that I'm in a fight with a brother I trust my life to than whether his rifle is this or that.... as long as he is comfortable with and trusts his choice, so do I.  Same goes here - I like the threads that dive into the deep aspects of the rifles.  I wish there was more clear info (threads) on dates/stamps/changes of all the parts we see on both versions.  I.E. - year of changes in trigger guards, sights, stocks, slings; hidden yet original Czech marks on all our rifles, etc.  There is some scattered info in searches - but not one dedicated collector guide I can find...  RSR? 

Have fun with it!

Stuff like THIS would be awesome for more aspects of the rifle:

Interesting link - thanks for posting it. It's the first time I've seen the "Green vinyl scabbard for use with the VZ?58 bayonet in nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) warfare environments."

[RSR]

They pop up on ebay from time to time.  There's a corresponding mag pouch I believe as well.

Actually, here's the full suit.  Great price if the seller has any left; it's an old listing...

Wow, cold war fashion forward.
All I can think of is "Hello, Stalker"...

[jb2sea]

I've got some chem/bio suits.  I think I'd trust mine a bit more than those things!
