Cal. 7.62x39. S# 5802178. Bbl. 18" over muzzle device. Designed in 1958, the VZ58 rifle is a gas operated select fire weapon that replaced the Czech Model 52 & model 24 machine guns in the Czech Army. Though often misidentified as a variant of the AK-47, there are several distinct differences visible even at distance. They would include a signature red tinted bakelite furniture. Several Czech offerings sport a light black to dark gray high luster finish on all exposed metal surfaces. This semiautomatic variant rifle has the correct grey top cover and the remaining of the exposed metal parts are finished in a dark black. The locking system of the VZ58 shares characteristics w/ the P.38 in regard to the bolt locking system. Protected post front sight. Tangent leaf rear sight graduated to 800 meters. Lest side receiver mounted scope base w/ QD scope mount & Weaver rings. Left side tan canvas sling. MAGS: 3 factory 30rd. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: Factory box, cleaning kit, spare parts, bayonet & sheath. CONDITION: finish on exposed surfaces is dark and complete, with very few signs of use, aside from the front sight assembly which retains a thin blued finish. Bright bore w/ strong rifling. Fire control mechanism appears to function correctly when cycled by hand. (22-2393/JZ). MODERN. $600-1,000.
