Vz58

Yeah I no I'm just curious to no when the side charger that says coming soon is going to be available. I appreciate Mr B does them.

Whatever scope is fitted to that its going to be far too high to be comfortable, it needs a cheek riser.

This is quite obscene actually ...

The Acog, calibrated for a nato 5.56 round, is about 3 times the price of a basic Vz shooting a 7,62x39 even if this one is in 223 ...
Not entirely convinced mounting such capitalist proletarian-oppressor optic makes any sense at all.
Only Meopta red dot is appropriate tool for good Vz weapon ! Cobra... maybe ... by only for old time sake


What's next ?
Spetsnaz issued with hand cream ??

Actually my vortex strikefire reddot in its low mount sits quiet nicely. But if I was to mount a 1 - 4 scope I can easily add a cheek rest to the stock FAB do one for it. :)

How long are these side charging handles going to take its been six months already, I'm holding off buying one until they appear.

There is a chap in Essex that does AK Side Charger work.

Just my opinion but I think that spoils the look of an AK.I have also seen these on Dragunovs and its sacrilege.

Even with a 12" barrel, it would still look the biz!

Yeah it looks a tad short to me and oh to have it in semi auto let alone select fire.......

It does ruin the look but without they bite your fingers and cases can bounce of your hand and back in.

Not a problem i've had with either of my two AKs or my Drag, perhaps I've got funny shaped hands

There have been rumors to be fair...

On my AK I have the Rus Mil enlarge bolt handle seem to work ok though if you don't pull back sharply you do at times get a round bounce back of your knuckles (especially big hairy sausage fingered hands like mine)

On my Vz58 again pull back sharply and no issues but on occasion a case will bounce off knuckles and land back in the rifle, a cam charging handle will negate this and make cycling the rifle much quicker :)

While I agree putting a cam on an AK spoils the look I think it would make the operation much nice and cycling the rifle much quicker also.
