I was lucky enough to find a pretty decent condition VZ58 barrel assembly for my upcoming VZ58-pistol build this last week. I have yet to chose a receiver, but I am heavily considering the Tortort USA options.
I had a chance to pick up a VZ-58 parts kit from APEX Gun Parts during their infamous “Black Friday” sales. While not based on the Kalashnikov operating system, the VZ-58 is an interesting and historic rifle that I hope to build into a US legal semi-auto firearm at some point in the near future. Stay tuned!
