Czech it out! New custom vz-58 from InRange

[ptm76]

Awesome pics as usal from Templar.

I saw "VZ" and "Czech" and thought it would be a thread about Veronika Zemanova.

This guy looks "hardened".

'cept for that farmer tan. Must be his first day "geared up".

[SuicideHz]

No, his first day without a shirt actually!

Is that a slot for a stripper clip (on the front of the bolt)?

Verrryy nice looking blaster there Templar! I'm betting you're the only kid on the block with one like that!

Yep, you can lock the bolt back and recharge.

Thanks Joe . Around these parts, yeah, I'm pretty much the only kid with one.

That'll change though. These are now coming in and available as built rifles for right around $800.00. They won't have the bayonet lug on them but they're very similar rifles. Ohio Ordnance has been selling these for years as well, Aurang I know has one.

Rule .303, the bolt locks open on an empty mag and the bolt carrier is machined for stripper clips.

I've got a case of Yugo M67 ball around here somewhere loaded up on clips, I'll have to try it.

Nobody else will have one that nice.

Great photos!

Any chance of getting a close up of the selector/safety??

And - how are the ergo's of the selector/safety?

Thanks for sharing your wonderful looking piece with us.

Thanks, the camera makes it hard to take crappy pics!

Now then, if you're a dedicated AR guy, it will take ALOT of work with the rifle before you feel comfortable with the selector, and even then, you probably won't be happy with it.

I come from a background of many different systems, so I'm not "married" to one selector system.

The pro: When the selector is on "safe", it's pointing down and your hand is over top of it, you always know the status of the weapon by feel.

The con: The "fire" position is forward, and if you want to move the lever to fire, it takes a lot more manipulation than is required for an AR selector.

At first I wasn't too happy with the arrangement, but after playing around with it for a little bit, I kind of like it. It's not nearly as fast as an AR, but it's easier than an AK without a SWIFT safety lever, and as I said, you always know the status of the rifle.

I can disengage the safety by using the knuckle of my right hand, fairly quickly actually.

Here's a picture:

How do the ergos generally work out?
