Czech Republic VZ-58 "Tactical Upgrade Kits"
As the Czech Republic came into existence, it still brought along the ol’ VZ-58 rifle of their communist past. Needing a capable combat rifle in a modern era, it made sense to upgrade the rifles they had rather than replace them. Thus was born the Tactical Upgrade Kit. These are dated from the early 2000s most likely, though there are not dates on them. There are images of these in use in Afghanistan by the Czech contingent there.
Include:
Railed Top Handguard (on top)
Railed Lower Handguard (on 3 sides)
Pistol Grip
Instructions
Includes all hardware to attach the included pieces.
Note: These can be modified to the Type 81 rifle like all other VZ furniture with some work. “GNUTSGUY” has some great videos on how to do this on youtube.
