The Sa vz. 58 was developed by Ing. Jiri Cermak in 1956 and 1957, adopted by the Czechoslovakian army in 1958. It was produced by Ceska Zbrojovka in Uhersky Brod, Czechoslovakia until 1983. Approximately one million Sa vz. 58 rifles were produced during it's 20 year production run. As of 2007, it is still the standard issue service rifle in both the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
The Military Sporter models are manufactured by combining original Sa vz. 58 components with a new semi-auto only milled receiver, a new trigger mechanism and new fire control parts and new barrel. While the appearance of the VZ 58 looks similar to the AK-47, it was inspired by the German STG 44 and initial development was actually based on the 7.92 x 33. Mechanically, the VZ 58 is completely different from the AK-47, and no parts including magazines are interchangeable.
Furniture, magazines and leather pouch are military surplus and will show character and light usage. Metal parts are all refinished and matching on rifle.

VZ2008
I am not much of an AK fan, probably my old school cold war error warrior left over. But this is no AK. The design, build and craftsmanship are at much higher standard. The rifle is well made and uses the AK's 7.62x39 round but is more reliable and if you ask me looks better. Elk County also were champs getting my order out lightning fast. I wholeheartedly recommend the rifle and Elk County.
