The VZ2008 is a Better 7.62x39 that will Exceed Your Expectations
Century Arms International is excited to bring back the VZ2008 semi-automatic rifle. Based on the Czechoslovakian VZ58, these rifles sport faster handling, better ergonomics and greater accuracy over similarly styled 7.62x39mm rifles. These rifles are constructed using a combination of newly manufactured parts and mil-surplus components. It all starts with a brand new milled receiver and new barrel to give you the strength, durability and accuracy that you demand. The trigger mechanism and fire control group are also new to ensure greater reliability. You'll immediately notice the familiar adjustable rear sight and hooded front sight that will put on target with a great deal of precision. It offers a last round hold open to lock the bolt back on an empty magazine and an ergonomic easy to use safety mechanism. All of the metal parts and components are treated to a fresh sharp black finish. The comfortable wood impregnated furniture is sourced from surplus material in excellent condition to give it warmth of character. When you're looking for the ultimate 7.62x39 rifle platform, you need the VZ2008 from Century Arms.

Caliber Dictionary
The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.
The 7.62X39mm (7.62mm Russian) was adopted by the Soviet Union in 1943, first in the SKS semiautomatic, and then in the famous AK-47 selective fire assault rifle. The concept was based on Russian experience with the 7.92X33mm Kurz in the German MKB42, the world's first assault rifle. The 7.62X39mm has more case capacity, thus higher velocity and somewhat more range than the German cartridge, but the concept remains: A short to medium-range cartridge that offers a high volume of fire as, literally, troops closed in the assault. Although officially replaced by the 5.45X39mm in the AK-74, the 7.62X39mm and its AK-47 remain in use the world over, very possibly the most prolific military rifle and cartridge ever made. The 7.62X39mm has been adapted to the AR platform, and also chambered in various civilian platforms. Firing a 123-grain bullet at 2365 fps, the 7.62X39 is low in recoil and is an excellent deer cartridge at short to medium range. — Craig Boddington
