Judge not this race .....
So after a whole bunch of hassle, I finally got my VZ2008 where I want it.
The folding stock never worked for me. The recoil was too much because only a small part of the folding stock was seated in my shoulder. The cheek weld sucked. I can't even wrap presents, so wrapping a folding stock was out of the question.
So I went down the long path of getting it fixed. Literally.
I started with a muzzle brake from CNC warrior to calm the front end. Good upgrade. But not enough.
I ordered VZ58 fixed stock parts from Numrich, and the stock had a hole in it. The metal parts were rusty. I returned the stock, and kept the metal. I waited and waited and waited. The skeleton stocks that were so easily obtained from the one guy that provides them on ebay, were out. Then two came in. I got one.....
I was afraid the beaver puke condition of the stock was going to be way off from existing furniture. It actually is REALLY close. I decided to leave it.
After trying to remove the folder, I gave up. Better left to professionals. So up to Bollinger's I went. Bobby coated the exterior metal parts before installing them. I didn't want them to look brand new, because the gun doesn't look brand new. His choice of sheen was perfect.
I pick up the gun, and on the way back to the 'Burg, I decide to maybe check Dick's for .22 LONG SHOT I know.........
YES! They have 5 boxes left and I got mine.
Stop by AGC, 20 minutes left. 60 quick rounds go into the berm, no failures, and I am LOVING the VZ now. And yes the hand hold gets REALLY hot after some rapid fire. But honestly, not as hot as others have made it sound. Smoked off all the residual Ballistol from the last cleaning. That was cool.
So anyone who wants to go to the fixed stock for their VZ, I recommend it. It feels better on my arm, and to be honest, to me, it looks cooler.
Don't do what I did. Wait for the stock and parts to come together from Podmaniky on E-Bay. Just be patient.
