@mace085 Negative. Try Wikipedia. They have this stuff called information.

@SierraTangoGuns Thanks. I'm so used to thinking of the DSA FAL copy when reading "SA58".
-
@MediaTrapper It is a Vz 58, the official designation is the "SA Vz. 58". Some call it the SA58. Same basic rifle, though the ones in this clip are mil-spec, polymer stock and grip models.

@arandomperson3 Not like an AK at all, striker fired. AKs are hammer fired. Most AKs are stamped receivers, ALL Vz 58s are milled. The Vz is 1.5 - 2 pounds lighter than an AK depending on the stock and foregrip. The magazines are aluminum, about half the weight of an AK mag. And none of the parts are interchangeable between the two rifles.

As an owner of one of these, its really starting to annoy me how everyone says its an AK or a copy of one. Completely different weapon system. Great rifle, much better built than an AK. Anyway, good video.
-
@arandomperson3 Compare inner mechanism ... this gun is totally different. Looks maybe like AK, but is not AK.
-
@shermanlee85856 Ak style, maybe looks analogic, but it´s different. All weapons in 7.62x39 have analogic magazine. But AK amgazine is not useful for vz.58.

Wow the recoil management is excellent for such a big round :O

This is a good example of how having the buttstock in a straight line with the barrel keeps muzzle from rising up!!

Acutally, this rifle is ONLY in 7.62X39mm same as AK47 and SKS. it's NOT the 7.62x51mm which is the NATO version of the .308win.
The military version is the same 7.62x39 chambered rifle as the civilian version. The military one is called the Sa VZ 58 while the civilian is the CZ 858. The ONLY difference is that the military one has full auto capability. Trust me, I own a CZ858 I know what I'm talking about.
