VZ58 and CZ858

[Loner]

What's the difference between the two? My local gunstore has some full auto CZ 858 tactical, wood furniture & wire stock in stock. These came from the factory this way. From what I read the CZ 858 is suppose to be a semi auto version of the VZ58, but I have seen here that the US market has some semi only version of the VZ58? I'm confused.

So what's the difference between them? I'm on the fence on getting one.

I think the CZ is just the branded name of rifles produced by Dtechnik, aka CzechPoint.
The VZ you buy here are semi auto as they were built from demilled kits.

The 858 is the Canadian designation, with the 18" barrel.
