CZ VZ 58 buy where and barrel twist

[johned]

I have been noticing that different 58's all supposed toi have been Check mad have different twist rates for the barrel some are 1:9.75 and others are 1:14 and I think there were others. I have been looking at the ones on gunbroker. I once heard that thejunk85's didn't have chromed barrels or pistons. How can I be sure of what I am purchasing?

Where is the best place to buy te authentic 58 and not the junk version I have heard about.

I will want to upgrade to the ergonomc pistol grip.

Thank you for your help,

John

A good begining would be to find a reputable dealer. Czechpoint Inc has a very good reputation.

I would recommend Czechpoint as well. The junk ones are the ones Century puts out, they have a permanently attached AKM slant brake to bring the barrel length past 16".

Thank you both. I am going with Czechpoint and the Mil http://www.czechpoint-usa.com/products/vz-58-rifles/sa-vz-58-military/ I expect it outfit it with the plastic and grip and I want the "wood" with a set of plastic instead of two different plastic outfits. Thank you for your help and I also got a lot from all the posts on this forum.

I will next be looking for bulk 7.62. Any info is welcome.
