    Bignick, try cutting a slot in a piece of 1/4" or bigger keystock (maybe even flatstock?) with a dremel cut off wheel and thereby making a tool you can get some leverage on. That way you could slip a small pipe on it if needed. I didn't have to make this mod personally, so someone else may have...

    Thats a very interesting mount. It looks just like the one I have drawn out :( lol. I was looking at putting a quick release clamp instead of the knurled nut and bolt though. Is $128 USD + shipping the correct exchange rate?

    Recommendations for an IWB holster worn under a dress shirt

    Take a look at the FrontLine Quad 32C holster. It can be set up to carry 4 different ways, and its made of leather with Kydex inserts to make it very durable. FrontLine holsters are made in Israel, and are in use with the IDF, and many military, and law enforcement organizations. They have a...

    Joea, do you not like the rifle because you think you paid too much, or is something wrong with it? The reason I ask is most AK owners that have a chance to shoot one like them very well, and more than most end up liking the platform better, myself included. I've owned 5 AK's and more SKS's than...

    Czechpoint sells one but it's an overpriced bolt carrier with a seperate tab that you have to have welded on. You can't buy just the tab. Most folks just cut one out 1/16 flat stock and make it themselves. I would advise that if your rifle is under warranty, send it back to Century and have them...

    Sappy, what looks like very very light primer strikes are a sign of the "VZ58 Gremlin effect", I'm sure someone on here can tell you how to test for it to make sure that's the problem. As far as I know there are 2 cures for it, a tabbed bolt carrier, or a new sear with longer timing built in to...

    .22LR Auto Pistol - Recommendations?

    I have several .22 pistols, the most accurate one was a Ruger with 5.5" bull barrel that I regret selling, but the one I was most surprised by was a Bersa .22 that I bought on a whim. It was inexpensive, accurate, and I've run every brand of ammo in the safe through it without a hiccup, even...

    Its not just the BATF, every part of this presidents executive branch is operating beyond the power given it. We the people will have to decide soon whether we will continue to let one president after another grab more power. It has already un balanced the separation of powers put in place by...

    I had the same cnc warrior brake installed at the builder before I took delivery of the rifle, as my variant uses the original barrel and normally has an extention. I didnt like the looks of the extention so I bought and shipped the brake to them. Its a nice looking and functioning addition that...

    Fishbed I really dont know what your beef is, but im no liar and im no nut. If you will look at my post edit, you will see that I retracted the part about a total ban on 5.45 after getting more information from the source I unintentionaly mis quoted. If you are just stewing for a conflict, how...

    My source is solid. Hes not a dealer or even a gun person. He is in a position to know, and thats all im going to say about it. Take it or leave it, as you wish. By the way, some people might like to know a few things that are going on, so how about show a little tact for the rest of us.

    *edit*- After an e mail to clarify, my source cant confirm or deny that the BATF is banning all 5.45x39, but will say they are in the process of trying to milk the situation between Russia and Ukraine for all they can take, ammo and firearms alike. Sorry if I jumped the gun a bit. I guess we...

    I think a good way to "modernize" the VZ 58 reciever would be to use a precision investment casting along the lines pioneered by Sturm Ruger with the P series pistols (and most everything they make now). You could cast it in ordnance steel or stainless. A more or less perfect casting does away...

    Nice rifle Eric, good to have you here. My rifle has the pistol grip "cup" and I found it very abrasive when using a Mako grip, though I dont remember if the stock grip had the small gap in it. I took a small amount of bedding compound and filled the gap and it worked very well. With a dab of...

    Speaking of brass, has anyone seen a brass catcher for the VZ anywhere? or maybe made one that works well? Im not finding as many cases as I would like when doing drills, and with the general shortages now days, Im saving all brass cases, boxer or berdan. If I could get enough jacketed bullets...

    Ive noticed a big difference in mine as well compared to my Egyptian MAADI AKM variant. Not only is the brass not dinged up in the VZ, but it doesnt have the "bulge" near the head that my AKM does with conmercial brass cased round. (reminds me of how my old SMLE Enfield used to bulge brass a...

    Ifit, that's really, REALLY nice looking pistol. How does it shoot? Id like to see it in action. :D Also, was curious about the 9mm magazine in one of the pics, were you checking an AR 9mm upper mag adapter in it or something? Congrats on your new baby, I hope to get one myself when funds will...

    "Hitter", As in "hammer" ? I was thumbing through 'Military Small Arms of the 20th Century' 7th edition (Ian V. Hogg & John Weeks), and was pleased to note that they also used the term "axial hammer" when describing the system. As Mr. Hogg is a specialist trainer in military ordnance and...

    That bolt carrier does look a bit rough. The non mating surfaces of commie guns never recieve a finishing polish, but that one is a bit rougher than normal. It probably wont hurt the functioning of the rifle, unless the guides and matings are rough like that. Im not sure to what degree Century...

    In regard to your question, the VZ 58 design is sound, and is in many way superior to the AK and even the AR to a degree. As for the locking system, it too is a very strong and safe way of doing it, if a bit different than most. Remember this is an all steel weapon with a strong machined...
