I am lookin at getting a VZ-58 and have seen several recievers offered the D-Tech., ORF, and what ever Century is building on, oh and the CZ VZ-58. Are there any pros and cons to these? I wanna know if the Century guns have a chrome lined bore? I have been an AR junkie since I ran a colt M4 in Iraq but I am wanting to find a 7.62x39 to put in the fun because the ammo is so cheap.
so here is what I understand and I may be off on a few things, if so please correct me because I hate to see people stating fact on a forum and they have no idea what they are talking about.
the original rifles have a chrome lined bore and are shorter than 16" so a flash/muzzle device must be fixed to be legal.
Century is putting 16" barrels in there rifle and the recievers are different than the ORF and D-Tech. ??? is this true?
I've looked at building one but for the cost and avalibility of parts they dont seem like its much cheaper...I would have to buy a reciever and parts kit, make it 922R friendly and buy the drill bit and reamer to press the barrel pin, then dura/cera coat it Seems like I can buy one for that kind of money.
My base question is whitch one of the recievers is "better" not looking for a forum war just some pro's and con's
