I sure hope so, these people are the SOTE and have been parasites to the Hashemite Tribe for far too long.
No one is a parasite, they are just people who want to have a say in how their government works. Also, it should be noted that the Palestinians are not the sole protesters in Jordan... nor are the protests in Jordan on the same scale as those in Egypt.
...also, this is not the end of days. Just putting it out there, but anyone who thinks these protests will trigger TEOTWAWKI are full of shit.

for Egyptians the answer is clearly yes. For Americans the answer is clearly no. Hope that helps!

Never met a mil-surp com-block mag I didn't like!
OK there is a lot of confusion surrounding these magazines so I want to clear some things up.
1: These are commercial magazines. They are actually a few mm thinner than surplus mags.
2: They are shipped with commercial followers.
3: They are welded (not glued like the Korean commercial units)<<----A SELLING POINT
They are useful as RANGE MAGS ONLY....
That being said, I would pay the extra $1 for the chinese ribless steel.
Good luck guys, hope this was helpful!

+1 on the pics Rangemaster!
I believe that Neit Arms' railed piston cover does let you co-witness with Aimpoint Micro and clones. It's like the Ultimak for vz58s.
Neat! I will look into testing one if I can get my hands on it, thanks for the tip.

Please edit your post to avoid fail.

glad to hear it! Pics (when you get the proper break from CNC Warrior) Please.
I already ordered it this afternoon! Sal, you got to try a VZ58! They are amazing!!!!!!!
Ive tried them and they are nice, but I dont like the following features:
1. The safety
2. the form factor
3. the BHO feature
4. the non comparability with the Kalashnikov magazines or the lack of accessories.
What I like about them is the following:
1. light weight
2. stock change system
3. muzzle device
The safety is actually much easier than an AK. It only took several minutes to be more proficient with it than an AK (use the trigger finger to disengage and thumb to engage).
Bolt hold open is a plus in my book.
VZs don't use AK mags, but my Armalite AR180 doesn't use AR15 mags (without mods) either.
As for "lack of accessories" that is a common mis-conception. There is every kind of hand guard, rail, for grip, stock, stock adapter, extended bolt catches, ambi mag releases, muzzle devices, suppressors, replacement parts, etc you can imagine. For the most part if it exists for an AK, it exists in a modified VZ58 version. Neit Arms, Czechpoint, and several others have LOTS of stuff to warm the cockles of your tacticool hearts! Prices run the same as AK accessories. Check it out, you will be amazed. I was. Milsurp mags run $13 each and even Midway USA has them. There is a wide range of compliance parts available, also. I have been researching VZ58s for almost 2 years.
The safety irritates my man sized hands.The lack of a proper way to co-witness with the irons is a huge factor in my proclamation that the accessory situation is inferior. I do like the mag release and muzzle device, those are tits in my opinion.... At any rate I am glad you enjoy it, and if I ever have extra $$$ this next year I may pick one up again.

These mags were inexpensive so I figured screw it, I've always wanted a Junglè style magazine, so I did it lol
Your tape technique is unacceptable. If you want to make a so called "jungle-magazine-configuration" please make each end only stick out a few inches so as to minimize the over all footprint of the joint magazines. Here is an example of the proper use of tape to create a low profile:
Please remove your tape and try again to avoid fail....

Thanks for posting that Belloc. Dave knows his shit, and seems to have run his AK30's hard. I tend to agree that the locking metal strip is rather thin. That being said, mine have held up through a few more excursions into the woods. I am going to perform GOB's salt water test here soon as well.
You should have someone ship you some real ocean water so the tests are accurate. No one is going to abuse/use these mags in a foot bath.
I am close enough to the west coast where I might be able to make this happen with ocean water once the pacific northwest warms up a bit and travel becomes less of a chore....

We have a republican controlled house. It will not pass.
Unless of course no one wants to be reelected in 2012.
Plenty of republicans voted for it in 94 and got reelected. What gun rights advocates never seem to grasp (to our own peril) is that people ARE NOT single issue voters. Also it seems like a "high capacity" magazine ban is more likely if people like Dick Cheney and John McCain have their way. Assuming there are a few more highly publicized shootings you can take some kind of ban to the bank.
What a lot of partisan guys dont understand is that people like Harry Reid, Stephanie Sandlin, Tom Perriello and several other democrats are much better on the gun issue than a great many republicans.
Remember JFK was a member of the NRA.... Just sayin....

The idea of a Krinkov is silly because it lacks accuracy beyond 100m
Untrue
300 yards is easy for a 5.45 AKSU and just about as easy for a 7.62. I had both and regularly shot them at 300 yards, hitting a 3/4 mansize steel plate is routine with irons, even simpler with a red dot.
Z
TX:> the 8" barrel lets the 5.45 out with 1900 FPS which is much less than a 16" barrel. I am glad you are having such good results with your rifles, but you can't tell me there is no difference in accuracy between the two lengths.....

Different animals. The CZ is a more practical and modern gun, but Mak PM is simple, rugged as hell and is a ubiquitous part of Eastern Block history. Get both.
^This.
I would get the more rugged PM.
You should ask your question over at www.9x18.org those guys know their shit when it comes to makarov chambered pistolas

First, she's going after our standard capacity magazines. Next, she'll be going after our shoulder things that go up!
Never give an inch to these people, they'll use it to get much further.
Sadly, I think fighting this will be an uphill battle. The other side has the momentum.

Thanks, Sal, I will. It arrives at my FFL Monday, along with folding stock, 5 mags, pouch, bayonet, etc. I ordered a fixed stock, 3 more mags, US followers and floor plates, sling, and another pouch from Czechpoint. I can't survive with less than 8 magazines!
Your welcome bro, just remember to post pictures when you get it and remove the incorrect slant brake!!!
I think I am going with CNC Warrior's M84 birdcage for the VZ58 Got one ordered. I like birdcage flash hiders.
go with the original CZ-Pattern, they look tight on the 58! Trust me, you will not be disappointed.

Typical. I wouldn't hold your breath...Good luck though.

Ive shot it and left my barrel alone for 3 days afterwards without cleaning with no ill effect. I think any longer might start seeing problems.
If your barrel is chrome lined you should see little to no effect from corrosive ammo in the bore. Where it really starts eating your gun up are at the unchromed areas like the gas block and gas tube.
That is correct, but I didnt see any difference in the gas system when I cleaned it ether, so I suspect most of the corrosive material gets spread around the chamber and bottom of the barrel. If I ever get a pure beater I dont give a shit about, I may shoot a few 100 rounds of yugo through it and take daily pictures of the corrosive effects.....

I think you misunderstood my post. The welds are the only selling point, I dont want it to sound like I was shitting on the weld, only differentiating between two commercial magazines. obviously a weld trumps glue! Thanks for letting me know the english was a bit off Greg.
