VZ 58 or Beryl 7.62

[kmittleman]

Hi Guys,

I thinking about a new rifle to get in 7.62x39 with the thought that next year will be a lousy gun market. Any opinions on these in terms of reliability / performance and favorite place to buy from?

Engage had a new and a consignment Vz58 recently. They can be hard to find in stock so now might be a good time.

Is the Beryl 7.62 even legal in MD? I have a VZ2008, a VZ58 wanna be, and I really like it. Light, reliable, and unique.

Get the Beryl. It takes standard AK mags and is a bit more customizable.

Yes, the 7.62 Beryl has been legal according to MSP since 2021.

I vote for the Beryl. I have one in 5.56. Build quality is great and you have great options in case you want to add modifications or do a military clone build.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Any place you’d buy from in particular? I see that Arms of America has them but they have mixed reviews.

AoA is fine. Never had any issues from them. They take about a week to ship out firearms. Atlantic Firearms is also a great option. I've had great experience with both retailers.
