[QUOTE="cjjtulsa, post: 1711222, member: 6146"] Where did you find one for that price? You did well, with a D-Technik receiver. I got mine from Czechpoint, and will likely buy there again. It's a bit steeper than what you paid, but their customer service is good, and they give a 5 year warranty with it (though I don't think I'll ever need it). Like I said, I'm gearing up to buy a second one, because one is none, and two is one, right? Not sure who put yours together, but the Czechpoint ones (currently modded by Waffen Werks and earlier by TGI) use a weld on either side of the barrel nut. They say to remove the paint, and you'll see the weld. You have to drill that out, and chase the threads. I'd be real careful drilling it! Once you put a new device on, make sure you permanently install it, just in case Sam wants to sniff around your rifle for any reason. Good score on a great rifle! Oh - check your mags from AIM - that's where I bought my spares, too. The right rear of the Vz58 mag can have cracks at the feed lip. Extended periods of fully loaded mags can stress them, and cause the aluminum to crack. I guess the Czech military boys left them loaded 24/7, so you need to inspect them. I had three out of an eight mag order that were cracked there. AIM is great in the CS department; they sent me the replacement mags and just asked me to send the old ones back! No RMA number, just basically a "we trust you" attitude. Sucks that I had to pay return shipping, but they didn't give me any grief. And depending on what 922r parts are in your rifle, the mags are often used for two of those compliance parts (if so, they'll have a plastic follower and floor plate) - be careful with that, too.
