Did you just screw off the Century brake and screw on the CZ brake? Where did you get the brake?
ThanksIf you live in a free state (which I don't...) that's all you need to do. The VZ2008's barrel is long enough to not require a permanently welded muzzle extension. CNC Warrior and Czechpoint both sell the brakes in the M14x1 RH thread pattern. I just had mine installed at the shop before it was neutered for CT ban compliance. :banghead:

I think the ones Czechpoint sells are the same as the ones from CNC Warrior, just ten dollars more expensive... but don't quote me on that. I ordered mine from Czechpoint solely because I wanted one of those awesome hats they're selling right now lol.
Good to know. I'm not 100% certain that the added weight of the part + optics is worth it, but I'm going to have to give that a little thought. It's certainly a worthwhile consideration for anyone that prefers magnified optics.Well, the forementionned shop sells to US and those components are not regulated by any law...
That's another consideration. I'm going to investigate a few optics with short OAL and see what I can come up with. I will say that the handguard/cover combination would probably tear up the scope either from ejected brass casings (if not a well constructed optic) or by harmonic forces (which may very well destroy the best optics).Although, looking at it, the handguard rails put the scope too far forward, but the spring-cover rail is almost too far back; I wonder if you could do both and join them with a railed bridge to accomodate the Goldilock's out there who want it "just right" ? Would the VZ eject straight up into it?
I have medium sized hands and the pistol grip is a close fit, but does just fine for me. If you have big hands it might be more of a problem for you.I was more concerned about the reports of the grip/stocks being undersized (funny, no complaints about M1 carbines being tiny).
Sure can. Like you said it's limited in practical use (perhaps use in very tight confines, e.g.: a vehicle) but it's nice to know it's possible.Can the rifle be fired with the stock folded? (yeah, I know it's stupid, but it's good to know that I could go all "First Blood" if I wanted)
I tried that "shoot with the stock folded" once with my vz-58 7.62x39mm...I hit nothing. bad idea.
Not a clue as to remaining numbers but I imagine that is indeed the case as they have garnered much more [well deserved] attention in the last few years.Not that they're running out anytime soon, but how many of these dang things does Czechpoint have left? It sounded like they were selling them even faster than they could be put together.
I haven't done so as of yet, but I plan to and those are parts that I plan to go with (mainly because I like the OEM furniture, which would be the simplest to swap). Two is all you need for the D.Technik (aka: CZ-USA, Czechpoint, et al) builds, however the trigger doesn't count as it is already a US manufactured part. Your other options are to only replace the follower of the magazines (which, despite being polymer, is fairly well constructed), or replace the entire fire control group (which is fairly costly and yields no discernible advantage other than compliance).I plan on changing out a few more internal parts so milsurp mags are still kosher. Seems like a metal trigger and stainless piston are two worthwhile upgrades that would keep me in compliance (you only need two extra, right?)
