Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do the advertised vz.58 rifle prices include shipping and dealer fees?
A: If you live outside the state of Tennessee, and in the continental United States, you pay no sales tax, shipping, or dealer fees on firearms. Parts, magazines, and accessories will sustain shipping charges. Tennessee residents must pay sales tax. Shipping to Hawaii, Alaska, Guam, and Puerto Rico requires additional shipping charges on all firearms and parts orders. Please contact us for a shipping quote to these two states for firearms, parts, and accessories. We do not ship outside the 50 US States.
**The state of California, Washington State, Vermont, and New Hampshire may be an exception on the payment of tax and the FFL may charge state and local sales tax. All California, Washington State, and Vermont customers are responsible for any and all taxes charged by the FFL. CzechPoint does not ever pay sales tax for the customer.
Q: Do the advertised vz.52 pistol prices include include shipping and dealer fees?
A: Shipping fees are not charged on vz.52 purchases. Dealer fees charged at the gun shop will be paid by the purchaser of the pistol.
Q: Do the advertised revolver and revolver carbine prices include shipping fees and dealer fees?
A: The purchaser is responsible for shipping and any dealer fees charged at the gun shop. Shipping is $15.00 per revolver handgun and $20.00 per revolver carbine to the lower 48 states.
Q: Are confirmation e-mails sent?
A: No and Yes. When completing the website order, there is an option to print or save the order page with order number. Confirmation of the website order is not automatically e-mailed. The only e-mail CzechPoint sends out is confirmation that the package was shipped. This e-mail will provide the UPS tracking number or the USPS confirmation number.
Q: Does CzechPoint ship parts, accessories, and/or magazines to Canada or to Europe?
A: No. We are only an importer - not an exporter. Please do not contact us to export parts and accessories.
Q: Does CzechPoint have a store front to conduct on site sales for firearms, parts, or accessories?
A: No. We are unable to process transactions face to face.
Q: Can CzechPoint swap permanently attached muzzle attachments on vz.58 rifles.
A: No. We do not have the equipment to do this modification.
Q: Is the muzzle attachment readily removable on the 7.62 x 39mm rifles? How is the muzzle attachment fixed to the barrel?
A: No. Since the original barrel length is less than 16 inches, a muzzle attachment must be permanently attached to achieve the 16 inch barrel length required by federal law (Title 1 firearms). All muzzle attachments have had two holes drilled through the threaded area. The muzzle attachment is screwed onto the barrel (14x1 rh threads) and welded into the threads. The weld penetrates into the threads of the barrel while filling the holes of the muzzle attachment. The barrels are then turned on a lathe to remove excess weld. Result: the welds are difficult to see when covered by paint.
Q: How can the permanent muzzle attachment be removed from the barrel on a 7.62 x 39mm rifle?
A: **WARNING: removing the muzzle attachment results in an overall barrel length less than 16 inches. Possessing a CzechPoint 7.62 x 39mm vz.58 rifle, without the factory installed muzzle attachment, results in an illegal short barrel rifle. This is a felony! All NFA rules apply.
After the necessary BATF paperwork has been approved, a person may remove the permanently attached muzzle attachment. The two hidden welds on the muzzle attachment will become visible when the paint is removed. The hidden welds on the attachment need grinding down to the barrel threads (careful not to damage the threads on the barrel). Unscrew the muzzle attachment and then clean the barrel threads. CzechPoint recommends www.inrangec2.com for all muzzle attachment modifications. The 5 year warranty remains in effect if In Range, Inc performs the modification.
Q: Is my credit card or debit card charged immediately on the website?
A: No. CzechPoint will not charge the credit card or debit card until the firearm, part, and/or accessory is boxed and ready for shipping.
Q: Are other methods of payment accepted besides credit cards or debit cards?
A: Personal checks and business checks are not accepted. United States Postal Service Money Orders are the only money orders accepted by CzechPoint. All Checks and non USPS money orders will be returned to the buyer.
Q: How long after submitting my order will the firearm, parts, and/or accessories ship?
A: At this time, all in stock products are usually shipped within 7 to 10 business days of CzechPoint confirming payment. There are times when orders may take longer to ship. As always, credit cards are not charged until the day the package ships.
Q: Is it necessary to have the firearm shipped to an FFL?
A: Yes. All firearms sales must be completed through a Federal Firearms License holder. Your FFL dealer will process a background check on you.
Q: What is the return policy on parts, accessories, and magazines?
A: If a part, accessory, or magazine is wanting to be returned, a Return Authorization Number (RA#) is required before returning the item to CzechPoint. For RA#, send e-mail to shipping.department@czechpoint-usa.com A 15% restocking fee will be applied. Of course, CzechPoint will waive the 15% restocking fee if an incorrect item was shipped.
Q: Are CzechPoint firearms and high capacity magazines legal in all 50 states?
A: No. Not all states allow possession of our firearms and/or our high capacity magazines. In most states, the minimum age to purchase a handgun is 21 years of age and the minimum age to purchase a rifle is 18 years of age. If you are unsure of legal status, consult your local law enforcement to confirm. The buyer is 100% responsible for knowing the legal status of firearms, magazines, parts, and accessories before placing an order with CzechPoint.
Q: Does the purchaser have to pass a background check?
A: Yes. All buyers of our firearms must pass a firearms background check at the FFL dealer. Do not order a firearm from CzechPoint if you are uncertain of passing a background check. If a buyer fails to pass a background check, the buyer will pay a 15 % restocking fee to cover the possible costs of a background check and shipping costs to and from dealer.
Q: What type of warranty is included on the firearms?
A: vz.58 rifles and vz.61 Scorpions include a 5 year warranty on defects, from the date of purchase, as a result of workmanship or materials. All Alfa Proj revolvers include a two year warranty. vz.52 pistols include a 30 day inspection period and will be repaired, or replaced, if the pistol is confirmed to have a functioning problem during this time (CzechPoint must be contacted within this 30 day time period). The vz.52 pistol does not have a warranty after the initial 30 day timeframe. This warranty will not cover, and is not limited to, the following: if the firearm is modified, misused, abused, unauthorized repair, sustains normal wear, improper care, and improper cleaning.
Q: Are the vz.58 and vz.61 firearms 100% newly manufactured?
A: No. D-Technik hand selects original military issue surplus parts to be assembled onto new manufactured receivers. All black polymer is new and the original metal parts are refinished to new condition. Wood impregnated plastic furniture may exhibit minor scratches and areas of matte/dull finish from military service use.
Q: How will my firearm be shipped?
A: Rifles will be shipped in their own box using UPS Ground. Scorpions, vz.52 pistols, and revolver handguns will be shipped using UPS Air or USPS Priority Mail.
Q: I live in a New York state where only legal high capacity magazines are those manufactured prior to 1989. When were your vz. 58 magazines (and vz. 61 magazines) manufactured ?
A: All vz. 58 thirty round magazines and all vz. 61 magazines were manufactured prior to 1989.
Q: You say that all the military issue parts are 100 % reconditioned, but I can see minor scratch marks on refinished moving parts (e.g. vz. 61 Scorpion bolt). How come ?
A: All of our rifles and Scorpions are test fired and zeroed before cleaning and packing at the factory. Therefore, on average, approximately 15 – 25 rds are fired through each firearm.
