VZ-58

On my first Vz I had to change the spring out twice. They're not expensive but Czech-Point charges $8 for shipping. Why a spring costs so much to ship I'll never know. But literally a mag or two of the Yugo M67 load, and you'll likely be picking out pieces of the piston spring when you take down the gun for cleaning. Not even gonna try shooting that stuff in my newer, nicer Vz.

That's very weird. In my cool secret squirrel days we had a real vz.58 in our arms room for familiarization fire and the only 7.62x39 ammo we ever got was Yugo M67. Most of the team guys weren't that jazzed by exotic weapons (unless they were brand new), but myself and some of the other support guys used to run rounds through the vz.58 like it was going out of style. Never had any issues with it, including doing two to three magazine mag dumps on full auto.

I wonder if the spring they're using is a compliance part not made to the original spec?
 
How can QC let these things out of the factory?

I always assumed Century docks their QC guy an hour's pay for every weapon he pulls off the line for anything shy of a "pull the trigger and this will blow up your face" level issue.

I really don't know. It's possible I guess. I do like the gun a whole lot, that's why I bought a second one. Figured I don't really even like shooting corrosive ammo in my semi-autos so avoiding Yugo M67 isn't that big a deal to me. The gun is decently accurate, reliable, it's light, it's handy, and it's got a buttload of cool factor. So I'd still recommend it. Just don't think it's better than the AK in every single way, as some suggest.
 
my vz 2008...

my sights must be off.... i put a flat sight picture and it shoots like a foot or two higher than it should. help>? how can I adjust this and make it better?
 
First, what is your rear sight set at, and what distance are you shooting at? is this a Century of a Czechpoint? If it's Czechpoint, Dan Brown at Czechpoint stands behind his product completely, and it there is something wrong that makes the rifle shoot high, he will help you.

First, check your rear sight, and see if it matches the range you are shooting. I usually leave mine at Battle Sight, the "U" notch, and I have sighted mine in that way. The rear sight can be moved to 100/200/300, out to 800 meters.
The front sight post is adjustable up and down, as well.
Hope that helps!
