I have one of the first ones into the country and one of the later ones, the earlier version is better quality than the second one, and it shoots better too.
Nice I also have one of first batches also, ordered from Tony...forget the company, but outa NJ back in 2011

I had one of those first batch vz2008 when they went on sale couple years back for $379 (jg sales), very disappointed on the build and the bad shody finish/barrel...sold it and kept what was worth keeping (original wooden stock) till this day spent my money on other firearms. For me I pay more and went with csa/czechpoint. With the FACTS given on both VZs, whether you want a cheap version or pay more for one, in the end it's your choice.

Nice Zag thanks for info n pics, also have one and by the thicker barrel makes it little front heavy as compared to the others In .308. Zag is your super one of the first batches imported before WPA?

Been a while also, since I shot my vepr. Hopefully soon with some range results

Why does century arms have to pass that down to the consumers knowingly they build the vz2008 that May or may not have issues( would you trust your life on this rifle or when shtf? I sure wouldn't...I'm glad csa/czechpoint holds the patent to the "Tab" once they knew century was adding them to their first produced vz2008...czechpoint was going to or take them to court. It's about time a Reputable company who provides quality firearms to the U.S market stands up against a company who has a shody history on building firearms ...including some vz2008s.There is more difference than the barrels. Plenty of cheep barreled kits they could have used. Century cuts corners so that right away is suspicious to me on anything they make. Having said that there is one mechanical difference which is know as a "gremlin" with the Vz. Its only on Century and other half ass built US Vz. The difference is that the rifle was never designed to be a semi auto and the internals are slightly different. What the Czechs discovered was that making one in semi auto resulted in a problem recocking the striker when fired. This problem is 50/50. You might never see it or you might never get more than one shot. Cz solved this by adding a tab to the bottom of the bolt carrier. Century decided it wasn't worth the extra few $ to do that. So theirs doesn't have it. Some people swear by their reliability while others have nothing but problems. Ive handled 7 of them at a LGS and out of those 3 had problems. One didn't reset, one had the carrier that would not close. Jammed half way open and another had mag fitting issues. Century can shove their products up their ass
It doesn't cost much to pay someone to have the tab added.

Difference is in the Quality and how they build their rifles, test them and make sure they run reliably before sold to the masses.

I recently aquired a tiger just recently and came with the svd brake. Correct me if I'm wrong but two versions entered the U.S the sporter version with no muzzle brake an regular thumb hole stock with no cheek riser and 3 setting on rear sight. Then there's the military version with the muzzle brake not attached entering the U.S removable cheek riser and adjustable sights up to 1200 meters. I agree if it were mine I would not mess with it.

Been a while, bps12 I think as far as I know ur the first to go this RPK bullpup route......interesting. Just finished up my aes10b with some plum furniture

liquid metal where can i get one of those mag release levers?
Shooters-Shop.ru, only source that I am aware of. $56 a piece, plus a hefty shipping charge.
Rather than trying to navigate the website, I simply e-mailed Maxim Larin (contact info is on the right side on their homepage). He processed my order for me and provided tracking info when it shipped. Very helpful guy.
Thanks, just by looking at them ... I might just try and make my own

great job, almost looks identical to the one my friend modified about 2 years for my super vepr, also using the low m76 mount

This is what the set I have currently looks like... not sure if it's downward angled or not.
nice, ec4 was it hard to remove the stock polymer piece on the upper hg? mine is very hard to remove, how did you remove yours?

I have owned a few and they were fine. I'd buy some more of them if they were $350'ish again.
Funny thing is that many of the same people that talk shit about WASRs are the same people that drool over Dracos and Draco Minis.
ENTIRELY different animals. Like saying a SAR1 is the same as a WASR, Nothing wrong with a WASR, but they are different
They're really not. So they have a dimpled receiver, so what? They are made in the same factory as the WASR, by the same people, on the same tooling. Anything that applies to a WASR applies to a Draco as well, up to and including potential for magazine wobble, since ALL AKs can have it to some degree.
By that logic, all Romanian guns are the same
finally received my jgsales 1063m, which ive been waiting for them to restock their shelves. ordered mine about 2 weeks agon and actually surprised when i checked their website today, nada/zero....all sold out, thank god i got one. im more surprised how fast the wasrs fly of their shelves as compared to the converted saigas, saigas still for sale there. any way very happy with my purchase, and thought id share some before and after pics
before
after
cant wait for some range time
You will hate that folding stock after some range time. That said, I just bought another one. I'd highly recommend the amd65tech cheek riser
i dont hate the side folding stock, some people do. but yeah they do have the cheek risers to make it just a little better but not 100% had these on my rifles for a while now

Still left my sb47 brace on my mini draco, I can still shoot it using as a cheek rest....but of course not touching your shoulder:(. But hey if nobody's looking you can still shoot it using the cheek rest....
