Czech VZ58 Rifle Sling

Issued VZ58 Rifle Sling

This is the carry sling the Czech Army issued for the vz. 58 service rifle. The designation is short for vzor 1958, or model 1958. It gives a vz. 58 owner the correct strap for the rifle, whether the gun is an original or a civilian semi-automatic version. Collectors and reenactors building a Czech service kit will want it for the same reason.

Features

• Cotton Webbing Strap — The body of the sling is a woven cotton strap in an olive khaki shade, which sits softly on the shoulder.
• Leather End Tab — A tan leather tab, stitched to one end of the webbing, passes through the rifle's sling swivel, the metal loop the sling hooks onto.
• Button Stud Closure — A metal stud set in the leather pushes through a slot cut in the tab, so the end fastens back on itself without tools.
• Slide Buckle Adjustment — A square metal buckle on the webbing lets you lengthen or shorten the sling to suit your build and carry position.
• Stitched Leather Join — Thread stitching secures the leather tab to the cotton strap.
• Czech Army Issue — This is government-issued equipment made for the Czech military, not an aftermarket sling.
• Made For The vz. 58 — The sling was specified for the vz. 58, so it gives the rifle its correct service setup.

Czech Army Specification

The sling follows the Czech Army pattern, with cotton webbing for the strap, leather for the end fitting and plain metal hardware for the stud and buckle. The leather tab fixes to the swivel and the slide buckle sets the length. For anyone who wants a vz. 58 equipped the way it was carried in service, this is the sling that belongs on it.
