New VZ 58 magazine options

[Matt8090]

These new mags from Fab Defense were just announced at SHOT show. I ordered one and it shipped direct from Israel. It finally got in today. Haven't shot it yet but seems very well constructed. I was very glad to see this come along as the surplus mags are drying up/getting more expensive. I'll post another update once I get out and shoot with it.

Looks pretty good. How much, if you don't mind saying?

I don't remember the exact price but it was $18-19 with free shipping from ZFI Inc.

Good to see there are options becoming available. I almost bit on one about a year ago when PSA had them but this is one of the things that held me back

PSA is where I bought this one December 2014. Supply has pretty much dried up. I'm glad I got mine when I did. I got the rifle, sling,3 mags, & cleaning kit for $379. Any that I see online now are $550-600 or more. I was asking the Century Arms guys about them in Nashville at the NRA show last year and they told me at that time (April 2015) that PSA had bought the very last of the stock of the VZ 2008 rifles they made. Mine is a great shooter for sure. And once I sent it back to Century to have them fix the canted front sight, I know, big shock there... I can pretty much hit anything with it.

Did they have 20 rounders ?

I don't believe so. I just saw the 30 rounders online.

You can make a 20 out of a 30 fairly easy if you buy this $4.00 floor plate. Says its for 10 rounders but its pretty stout plastic.

I made up a couple shorter mags. I cut them to length and mill a slot on each side for the plastic rails. You could use a hack saw/dremil for the slots if u are careful. These mags are the best design for the X39 cal. None better. The clear window is a nice feature. Might have to get one or 2.
