Took my new VZ58 to the range last night

[dohc97]

I used to have a VZ2008. Sold it and bought a VZ58. 140 flawless rounds later, I was grinning from side to side. No problem of any kind, except for my red dot falling off. I turned out I didn't fully tighten the mount to the side rail. No damage done, at least I didn't see any.

Nice!

I like your screen name. I guess I should change mine to 14Mustang302:-)

How do they compare? The handguards heated up fast on the VZ2008.

It's still heats up. I started wearing a glove on my left hand once I got over 100 rounds.

I installed a heat shield that fits inside the handguard that I found on ebay a coupla years back and it greatly reduces the heat build-up. I no longer have to wear a glove, even after several mags.

Cool............. Now you just need to get one in 5.56 to go with it.

Cant beat the VZ58, they pricing looks good now that VZ2008's are pushing $700ish.

I ended up installing a heat shield in my VZ2008 handguard as well. I used to cook hotdogs on it.

I bought one back when they were that price with 5 mags, bayo etc. That made sense.

Now with VZ58s round $1050 and VZ2008s around $700 take the higher quality gun.

 

[psoyring]

Copes has 30 round mags for about $14 each, although I guess you have to ship them outside of MD.

 

[md123]

I donna know?

I see what you did there. Good one!

That's the reasoning I used last week.

Same reasoning I used three weeks ago.
