FIREARM DESCRIPTION AND TERMINOLOGY

Nomenclatures of all Model 58 Automatic Rifle parts are presented in the section Illustration and List of Parts.

The semi-automatic CZ 858 TACTICAL rifle in cal. 7,62x39 mm is a self-loading small arm designed for sport and
hunting purposes. The rifle is designed for Mod. 43 cartridge.
The bolt operation is actuated by ignited powder charge combustion resulting in pressure on the piston from gases
generated in the barrel. The portion of gases is tapped off into the gas cylinder, and with the pressure exerted on the
piston head drives the breech block carrier rearwards. At the end of the breech block carrier travel the compressed
return spring forces the bolt and breech carrier to move forward to its initial position.
The rifle is manufactured either in wood stock version under denomination of CZ 858 TACTICAL P Semi-automatic
rifle or in the version having folding stock and denominated as the C Z 858 TACTICAL V Semi-automatic rifle.
The weapon can fired in single shots from any position be it with the rest or without. The rifle is fed from magazines
having capacity 10 or 30 cartridges respectively. When the last cartridge from the magazine is fir ed, the bolt will remain
locked open. Effective fire can be conducted up to distances of 800 meters.
When properly maintained and used, its firing performance and properties remain reliable and safe even under
adverse conditions. No tools are needed when stripping/disassembling this automatic rifle for cleaning and preserving.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Ammunition
Use only factory-manufactured standard ammunition of an appropriate caliber, which is in compliance with CIP
regulations (International Proof Commission for Firearms), or SAAMI (Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers'
Institute Inc. of the United States). The use of other cartridges could damage the firearm or cause malfunctions or injury
to the shooter.

Stock Unfolding
Grasp from below the automatic rifle handguard with your left hand. Place your right hand thumb on the bolt cover and
with the right hand index finger press the folding stock pawl stud up to the stop. Inclining the weapon unfold the stock arm
to the right, release the stud and c ontinue the right-hand unfolding till the stock pawl lug audibly snaps in the cut -out of the
stock arm front head.

Stock Folding
Hold the automatic rifle by the left hand at the fore -end from below and place the right hand on the stock arm from the
left side. Rest the right hand finger against receiver cover and using index finger press the stud up to stop. Using the
right hand continue in folding the stock to the right-hand side of the receiver until the folding stock pawl lug audibly snaps
in the cut-out on the front head of the stock arm.

Removal of the Magazine

Grasp the automatic rifle with the right hand at the pistol grip and using the left hand hold the front wall of the
magazine. Place the left hand thumb on the magazine catch and press it forward (Fig. 2). At the same time tilt magazine
forwards in the direction of barrel, and take it out from the magazine well in the receiver .

27
 CZ 858 TACTICAL - INSTRUCTION MANUAL

Magazine Loading
With the open end uppermost, grasp the magazine in one hand. Place a cartridge on the magazine follower with its
head towards the rear flat edge of the magazine and press it down until the cartridge is caught under magazine retaining
lips (Fig. 3). Place the next cartridge on top of the previous cartridge and slide in the manner as described above.

Rifle Loading
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE RIFLE IS POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION WHEN LOADING!
Grip the rifle with the right hand by its pistol grip and using left hand insert a loaded magazine into magazine well
located at the bottom of the receiver. Firstly engage the front lugs, located near the mouth of the magazine, with the
recess at the front wall of the magazine well in the receiver. Then tilt the magazine rearwards pushing it home into
magazine well until the magazine catch projection audibly engages with the lug located at the rear rim near the mouth of
the magazine. Afterward grasp the rifle from below with your left hand by the fore-end and place the other hand on
cocking handle of the bolt carrier. Pull cocking handle to the rear up to stop and then release it (Fig. 4). The rifle is now
ready to fire. If you do not intend to fire immediately, ensure the firearm safety as described below in the section The
Safety and its Operation.

Shooting
Fire can be initiated after shifting the safety lever to its 1 position, i.e. rearwards. After pressing the trigger a single
cartridge is discharged. The next cartridge is fired after the trigger is released and pressed again.

Reloading During Shooting

When the last cartridge has been fired, the bolt stays in its rear (loc ked open position). Remove the emptied
magazine and replace it with a loaded one. Partially retract the bolt, and release it to snap forward. The rifle is loaded
again, and ready to fire.

28
 CZ 858 TACTICAL - INSTRUCTION MANUAL

The Safety and its Operation

Rotate the safety lever perpendicularly downwards. This prevents discharge of the cartridge as the firing pin is
blocked and cannot be released. This method of putting the safety lever to Safety -On position does not preclude any
standard operation of other parts of the bolt except the striker, so it is possible to load or unload the cartridge from the
cartridge chamber.

Unloading the Rifle

ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE RIFLE IS POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION!
In the case that the last cartridge from the magazine has not been fired proceed as follows:
- Shift the safety lever to Safety-On position
- Remove the magazine
- Manually retract the bolt up to the stop thus unloading the cartridge from the cartridge chamber
- Shift the safety to position marked 1, i.e. forwards
- Cock the bolt using bolt carrier handle up to the stop
- While keeping the trigger pressed release the bolt to snap forward, this operation disengages firing pin and its
spring
- Put the automatic rifle again to Safety-On mode

29
 CZ 858 TACTICAL - INSTRUCTION MANUAL

In the case that the last cartridge from the magazine has been fired and the bolt is locked open in its rear position then
proceed as follows:
- Remove the magazine
- Shift the safety to position marked 1
- Cock the bolt using bolt carrier handle up to the stop
- While keeping the trigger pressed release the bolt to snap forward, this operation disengages firing pin and its
spring
- Put the automatic rifle again to Safety-On mode

Sight Adjustment
The tangent rear sight can be adjusted after depressing the rear sight locking piece and shifting the slide to desired
range determined by the lines 1 up to 8, which denominate range of fire in hundreds of meters (Fig. 5). Besides this the
left sight of the rear sight leaf is marked by letter U (universal), for shooting at moving targets and night combat at
ranges up to 300 meters.
The front sight can be adjusted for elevation and windage by the degree of screwing it into the front sight peg. The
front sight rack features in its front face semicircular recess, which exposes middle portion of the front sight pin. The
front sight pin and the rack wall recess are provided with two sighting-in lines. When these two lines are just opposite
then it indicates the correct windage position of the front sight. The correct front sight position regarding elevation is
secured by the drop of nitro-paint applied to the face of the front sight and its rack. Screwing up (screwing down) the
front sight, change in the height by 1 thread (0,5 mm) or shifting the front sight pin to the side by 0,5 mm shifts the mean
point of impact by 14 cm at 100 meters.

31
 CZ 858 TACTICAL - INSTRUCTION MANUAL

the piston out by pulling it at an angle forwards sliding it out from the opening at the rear sight base (Fig. 10). If the
piston spring has not been shifted out together with the piston, remove it at the direction of the piston s rear end.
CAUTION: No further disassembly is needed for routine maintenance and preserving. Never attempt to disassemble your
automatic rifle further. If you assume that your automatic rifle requires adjustment or repair, then entrust this task to a
competent gunsmith.

Assembling the Rifle

1. Using your left-hand grasp the rifle from below by the fore-end. Grasp the piston with the slipped-over spring and
insert its cylindrical part downwards up to stop into opening of the rear sight base. Tilt the piston head to the
cylindrical seat of the gas cylinder and release the piston. Under the spring pressure the piston will be shifted to its
front position.
2. Make the tips of handguard front joiner snap in the grooves on the gas adapter and tilt the handguard down. Insert
handguard pin completely to the left thus securing handguard against any inadvertent release.
3. Place the breech lock into seating at the breech block. Put the breech block in recess sited at breech block carrier
near the bridge, whereupon shift it forwards to engage the grooves in the carrier. Shi ft the striker-hammer partially in
the breech block carrier so that the witness marks on the striker -hammer and the rear wall of the breech block carrier
are oriented opposite to each other (Fig. 11). Then turn the striker -hammer by the full length of the witness mark to
the right and insert it into striker-hammer carrier up to stop.
4. Grasp the assembled bolt by the right hand with thumb placed against the rear face of breech block carrier and the
middle finger against the front face. Using left hand hold the rifle from below by the receiver with muzzle slightly
inclined to the ground. Insert the bolt from above in the rear part of the receiver. Slid the inserted bolt as far as the
extreme front position, whereby the striker-hammer remains retained by the left-hand catch of striker (Fig. 12).
5. First of all, insert the striker-hammer spring (operating spring) partially in the cavity of striker and then the return
spring in the opening of breech block carrier (Fig. 13). Shift the Safety lever to position 1 and squeeze the trigger.
This releases the striker-hammer from the left-hand catch and return mechanism can be moved forwards without any

32
 CZ 858 TACTICAL - INSTRUCTION MANUAL

resistance. Pull the front part of the cover under to engage the grooves in the carrier and by pushing forwards and
downwards slid the projection of base in the recess in the rear part of the receiver (Fig. 14). Subsequently lock the
return mechanism by inserting receiver cover pin until an audible click is heard. If the striker-hammer is not released
by squeezing the trigger then it means that the breech block carrier is not in the extreme front position and the striker
is held by the right hand catch.
Assembled Rifle Inspection
When inspecting assembled rifle it is necessary to check
- Function of the bolt
- Function of the trigger unit
- Correctness of the rear sight and front sight
- Function of the shoulder rest

Cleaning the Rifle

Clean the rifle
- Each time you use it
- If you get your automatic rifle wet
- As soon as possible after shooting
- At least once a year in a temperate climate
- As often as once a month in a tropical climate, or other demanding environments
Cleaning and Materials Used
- clean fine cloth/swab suitable for cleaning and lubricating of parts and components
- roughly comb hemp oakum without chaff (only for barrel bore cleaning)
- WD 40 preserving oil
- Hairbrush (included in accessories)

33
 CZ 858 TACTICAL - INSTRUCTION MANUAL

Cleaning the Barrel Bore and the Cartridge Chamber

The barrel bore shall be cleaned from the side of the muzzle. For doing this it is necessary to screw both parts of
cleaning rod and oakum holder together (Fig. 15). Slid the muzzle protection over cleaning rod. Insert the cleaning rod
end with annular groove into longitudinal opening of at the unscrewed oil-can plug and secure it with front sight wrench,
which is put through transversal opening in the oil-can plug. Wind a layer of oakum round the oakum holder so that it
could pass through the bore with a slight resistance in order that it fills the grooves well. Then immerse the oakum into
preserving oil, and oakum holder wrap around with oakum is inserted into the barrel bore from the direction of muzzle. Slid
muzzle cap over muzzle thread protection and rotate in such a way that the muzzle thread protection lock is engaged in
cut-out of the muzzle cap.
Grasp the cleaning rod by the front sight wrench and plug and push-pull the cleaning rod with its attachment
continuously without any undue force seven or ten times through the whole length of the bore. After this remove the
muzzle cap, pull the cleaning rod out and replace the oakum; dip it again in the cleaning agent and again draw several
times the cleaning rod through the bore. Then clean the cleaning rod of preserving oil and put through the cut in the
oakum holder a clean cloth. Repeat cleaning with the cloth a few times if the cloth shows some spots from corrosion,
powder residues or fouling. If these spots appear even when the barrel bore has been wiped for several times then it is
necessary to repeat cleaning with oakum and preserving oil, and afterwards again using the clean cloth /patches wipe the
barrel bore dry. When the last cloth comes out without any traces showing residues of fouling or corrosion then clean the
cartridge chamber.
For cartridge chamber and piston cylinder cleaning is the oakum holder screwed into the transverse opening of the
oil-can plug from the threadless side of the opening. The cartridge chamber is then cleaned in the same way as the barrel
bore, at which the oil-can when in vertical position serves as oakum holder handle.

Cleaning of Other Rifle Parts

Piston cylinder is wiped with oakum soaked with preserving oil and then wiped dry. Perform cleaning procedure till all
firing residues and/or fouling are removed. Piston cylinder wiped dry is then preserved by applying a thin film of
preserving oil. When cleaning the piston, it is necessary to pay attention to removing fouling or other deposits from the

34
 CZ 858 TACTICAL - INSTRUCTION MANUAL

circumferential groove on its head. After washing over in cleaning agent the piston shall be wiped with oakum. The piston
with fouling and deposits removed shall be wiped dry using a dry cloth and subsequently preserved by applying a light
layer of preserving oil.
Receiver, bolt and the non-disassembled trigger unit, rear sight and return mechanism shall be cleaned using
wooden sticks with wound-up cloth wetted in preserving oil. Openings, grooves, cut -outs and recesses are cleaned using
pointed wood sticks. After cleaning the parts and components shall be wiped dry using a clean cloth and preserving oil. It
shall be also checked whether after cleaning of the non-disassembled trigger unit are the positions of trigger unit parts
correct, especially trigger unit spring legs.
Parts heavily fouled or dirtied with powder combustion residues could be immersed into preserving oil for 30 minutes
at most. Preserving oil remains should be carefully removed.
The wooden parts of the rifle, i.e. the stock, pistol grip and fore-end, shall be wiped with a lightly oil soaked cloth and
then wipe dry with clean dry cloth. From time to time apply light impregnation using wood (l inseed) oil.
Lacquered parts of the rifle, such as the external surface of the barrel, receiver, trigger guard, receiver cover and
buttplate are not preserved but rubbed with grease cloth and then using clean dry cloth wiped.

Preserving
Preserving Material Used
- WD 40 preserving oil
- wood or linseed oil to impregnate wooden parts of the firearm
Before beginning of the barrel bore and cartridge chamber preservation pull a cloth soaked with preserving oil through
cut-out in the oakum holder. The cloth must be of such a size so as to pass through the bore snugly. Push-pull the
cleaning rod with attachment two or three times through the entire length of the bore so that the preserving agent is well
adhered to the grooves and lands of the bore and cartridge chamber and forms a thin continuous layer. Excessively
greased parts collect dirt very rapidly and for this reason it is necessary to apply only a fine layer of preserving agent
using a grease soaked cloth. When lubricating recesses, grooves and slots it is ne cessary to roll the cloth round a
wooden stick.
