    Smile Czech VZ 58

    I took one home yesterday. Couldn't help myself. One of a handful of 7.62 x 39 mm guns I can own in my state (7.62 x 39 mm AK's and all AK types are a no-go where I live).

    I understand this gun isn't really a true "AK" (is it more like a Sturmgewehr?). Gotta love those independent-minded Czechs.

    This is not a pic of the gun I bought, but it is the same configuration.



    A few observations:

    1) the milled receiver (I think it's milled) is just gorgeous (as compared to a typical AK).
    2) the bolt-hold open on empty is a very nice feature to have.
    3) the proprietary magazines are extremely light ... can they take a pounding?

    I feel compelled to upgrade some of the furniture on this gun.

    1) probably would like to get a sturdier aftermarket stock ... the gun i bought had some play between the stock and the receiver.

    2) does anyone make a rail for this gun to attach, say, a sling mount, an optic, and a light?

    3) the trigger guard strikes me as a little flimsy.

    Your thoughts appreciated!
