Does anyone have one? Can you review it? Provide the good bad and ugly. How does the VZ-58 rank in the pecking order of AK's? I was thinking of looking into one of those. Are they worth the exta dough?
Thanks,

Absolutely. More accurate and reliable. Milled reciever, very nice fit and finish. It is "THE" cadillac of all AK variants.Does anyone have one? Can you review it? Provide the good bad and ugly.

...except that it isn't an AK variant. The Vz.58 uses a tilting bolt, similar to the SKS, StG44, SVT-40, FAL, FN M1949, etc. Also, it has a linear striker mechanism, more like that of a Glock pistol or most old bolt-action rifles, rather than a hammer and simple firing pin. Furthermore, it's short-stroke gas operated, like an SKS. here's a picture of it with the bolt open:It is "THE" cadillac of all AK variants.
