I saw your new stock. I really like it. This one:

Any chance you guys will ever sell the HK looking one?

Fleabay.. Gunexpert is the seller. Please note. Looks like there are two versions of this stock. Nato & Warsaw length. I got Nato. Kind of wish that I knew this before hand, since I like shorter stocks.

Picked this up today for $400 out the door, came with 2 mags, FAB Defense furniture and a Tapco vfg. I am not sure if this is how Century sent them out on the last batch, but it matches exactly a bunch of stock photos on GunBroker for this model. Here and here are just some examples, there are many more.

Anyway, fit and finish are subperb, I really like this gun and can't wait to shoot it. I took off the Tapco vfg and slapped the grip-pod on there and it feels right at home.

I have been working on this build for some time. The last component was very difficult to find, the NEA handgaurd set. I don't think I will make anymore modifications to it, except for the trigger.

Anyone know how to embed the picture into the thread instead of a link?

I have the opportunity to pick up a VZ-58 at my local gun shop that was part of a collector's estate and was told it was never fired and it looks brand new. Includes 7 magazines and an somewhat odd looking leather magazine pouch that carries 4 mags. They're asking $1K and I'm giving it some very serious consideration, it's been sitting at the store for over a year and when I first looked at it they wanted $1500. This thread is giving me some great ideas and making it hard to pass up.

Pair of 58s made 20 yrs apart ie 1960 vs 1980 production and some differences.

Trigger guards and magazine release are different 1980 left/1960 right

Upper handguard 1960 two piece on left/fixed 1980 on right. Seems on the later you need to compress the center to remove handguard, instead of twisting it to remove.

Got a muzzle brake from the Czech Army. As with most brakes, noise is increased but shooting 2-3 bursts I was able to keep it on man size target at 25m. Without brake, first round is on target and other rounds impacting above target. Also muzzle blast is directed back to shooter. I would use it on a select fire 58 but not on a semi.
