No disrespect to anyone here, but it surprises me how many people still think these are AKs (many threads on here and other forums about this same topic). The VZ58 has come from under the rock that it's been hiding under for the last 50 years, and in the last 3 years it has gained alot of popularity. Still surprised that people are just learning about these..........

Actually, before I bought mine from Duffy's, I haven't seen these in too many shops.

It's great that they are becoming popular though. What a nice middle finger to libtards everywhere.

I avoid the cheek weld with the wire stocks. Matching bakelite butt stocks available (eBay $23-40 ish). I see one in my near future - I like that look. On the other hand, with this folder, it's a neat little compact package.

Understood... It's a compromise. It is crazy small folded up! So not too unwieldy to aim and shoot off the cheek? Thanks for link on Bakelite - looks much better foh shoh, and I bet still pretty compact!

Me thinks I must have one!

You won't be disappointed. The Century builds are well done, although the triggers are a tad heavy for some folks around here. I like 'em that way though.

If you buy it from Duffy's he can put the classic Czech military issue wood on it, for that old school milsurp look.

I stopped at Duffy's yesterday looking for a specific 1911 but it was gone. Figured I'd pick up one of the Molot VEPRs that were in stock a few weeks back instead - but they were sold.

So...

I fondled one at the HoCo Show, and again at United. Curious, anybody putting something on the stock bar to build up and pad ones cheek weld? Bothered me more so that it was so low, than it not being existent...

Hurt much on the face to shoot it? Seriously considering one.

If you don't live in MD it's easy to see the VZ58 and assume it was an AK --until you got up close. Maryland's oppressive environment has pushed these into the open.

We can be damned sure the know-nothings think it is an AK.

That thought makes owning one even more satisfying.

I love mine! Some paracord, a CNC warrior muzzle break and a US palm AK grip and she is fun to shoot

Wayne1one said:

That's kinda the point in Maryland.....

$400 VZ2008

Mags 10x $15= $150

Grand total = $550

IMO that equals deal, not deal breaker!

This comment gets me all the time, why would a rifle that's not an AK take AK mags? With this mindset every rifle built would take AR mags.....

.458 Dave, What mods did you have to do to get the US Palm pistol grip to work?

Sling Blade said:

That's akin to not wanting a mini-14 because it won't take AR mags.

5 minutes with a dremel and it fit like a glove. Way more comfortable then the stock VZ grip.
