This video features Caleb Savant, a Brownells Gun Tech, comparing the Russian AKM and the Czech VZ 58. He highlights their key differences, emphasizing that despite being Kalashnikov-type rifles and firing the same 7.62x39mm cartridge, they are not interchangeable in parts. Differences discussed include receiver construction (stamped steel AKM vs. machined steel VZ 58), piston systems (long-stroke AKM vs. short-stroke VZ 58), firing mechanisms (hammer-fired AKM vs. striker-fired VZ 58), and bolt hold-open features on the VZ 58, allowing for stripper clip reloads. Both are praised for their ruggedness and reliability.
