An older semi-automatic Czechoslovakian battle rifle originally developed after WWII and chambered for 7.62x45, but rechambered for 7.62x39 after Czechoslovakia was engulfed by the Soviet Union.
This rifle features a detachable 10-round magazine and a side folding bayonet. It is comparable to the SKS both in original concept and basic layout.
Later replaced by the SA VZ 58 assault rifle in the early 1960s.

SA VZ 58 Is Czechoslovak assault rifle, introduced in 1960s, full name of rifle is SA VZ 58, witch mean: S-samočiný ( self loading) A-automat (automatic/automatic wepon) Vz: vzor (type) 58 ( first project is from 1958).
VZ-58 Is very similar to Soviet AK-47 so lot of people mistake those two guns.
