Muzzle device for vz2008

Vile Shadow · Jun 22, 2014

I picked up a vz2008 from Duffy's yesterday. For those who may not know, that is the civilian semi-auto version of the Czech vz58.

It came with a slant-cut brake on it. If possible would like to install something similar to what original Czech military issue vz58's came with. Any suggestions?

CNC Warrior makes this one https://www.cncwarrior.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=23263 that is very effective, and appears to be modeled after the Czech military part. It's reasonably priced, too, compared to Czechpoint and other sources I've seen. This CNC part styled like an AK74 brake is also effective, a little cheaper, but also slightly longer: https://www.cncwarrior.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=22912

Whatever you buy, the correct thread size is M14x1 RH. Don't get an AK brake, they use LH threads.

Czech vz58 rifles are not issued with muzzle devices..

Really? They weren't?

Then I guess that explains the picture I saw when I looked them up.

The build that Duffy's posted in their section has the one that lsw suggested.

Hmm, that's interesting. I have to revise my statement to say that the CNCW part number 23263 appears to be modeled on the one that Czechpoint uses on some of their commercial rifles then, rather than the Czech military rifles.

They were issued in this configuration, I guess specialized units ran brakes but this is "standard" issue..

I've been wondering; what's the purpose of that?

protegeV · Jun 22, 2014

That reminds me, I need one for my vz as well :thumbsup:

As far as I know they were originally standard on original Russian-issue AK-47's to help minimize muzzle rise on full auto.

I haven't heard of them being used on vz58's, but then again I haven't had any interest until last week.

Safetech · Jun 22, 2014

There's one on my VZ2008. And I could never figure out the purpose of it.

2nd this.... ^^^^^^ CNC Warrior 23263 is the part number.

RH 14X1 fits the Century Arms VZ 2008.

It sits upon my CA VZ2008 as I type this. Fits like a glove. Felt recoil and muzzle rise reduced.

GTG :thumbsup:

I've read that the Czechs never fitted a slant brake on the VZ58, so why Century chose to do so is a mystery. I'm not complaining, though; at least they threaded the barrel. The slant brake is a cheap way to protect the threads, it probably doesn't cost much more than a plain muzzle nut, and it does provide some reduction in muzzle rise.

A good muzzle brake, though, really makes a difference on these rifles, or at least it did with my folding stock VZ2008. A little cheek padding on the stock, a butt pad and the knurled or AK74 style compensator (I've tried both) turns them into pretty gentle shooters.

Well, I decided to go with the ordinary barrel nut, per WayneOne's tutelage. In my opinion a Czech rifle looks all shades of wrong with a Russky muzzle device on it.

Czech military issue style is good enough for me. A picture will be forthcoming once I git 'er together.

Can't wait to pick mine up!

You haven't got it yet? I was waiting for him to ask which one of us I was.

Anyhow, here she is.

Thank you sir. He did that before I picked it up. I put the sling and barrel nut on tonight.

TheDevilHimself · Jun 25, 2014

Looks good.

If you want the original slant brake (???) that came with my rifle you are welcome to mine. I won't go back, too much recoil and rise.
