    just picked up a VZ58 / vz2008 yesterday....

    I took it apart to lube the gun up and when I put everything back together I can no longer pull back the charging handle. it completely binds up about halfway.....

    I've already tried and retried reassembly multiple times, and even watching others do it online, I know that i'm putting it back together correctly.....

    really hoping I dont have a messed up rifle...

    wondering if anyone has any suggestions

    problem solved.

    dismantled recoil spring assembly, reversed spring, straightened guide as best as I could....then took the chore of reassembling the thing.


    I can rack the bolt carrier without it binding up again.
