Palmetto State Armory has been advertising a VZ58 copy made by Century and calling it a VZ2008 for $399.00. I know Century has a reputation about their rifles being assembled by drunk trained moneys, but after watching youtubes and visiting a few different websites, I've only found one or two bad comments.

Any experiences? Comments?

It's one of the few Century rifles with a good reputation. I like the Czech D-Technik rifles, but would (and almost did) take one of the VZ2008s. I thought the $399 rifles have been sold out for a while. With the 5 mags that are/were offered, that's one hell of a deal.

PSA has never sold out of the $399 VZ2008 rifles. I bought one and like it a lot for the price. I just wonder how many of these rifles they must have due to how long the sale has been going. Good deal regardless!

There are some features about it I like. The milled receiver, the open top like a beretta, the bolt hold open on the last round and the folding stock. I don't know if magazines would be a problem since they don't interchange with the AK.

Love mine. One difference from an AK (not mentioned) is that the CZ/VZ 58-CZ2008 is striker fired. Even with milled receiver, at 6 lbs. or so, it is lighter than most AKs and seems to have less recoil. Mine has the folding stock which some people have a tough time getting use to. It is fine for me. There is also a conversion kit available to convert it to AR-15 type stocks.
