Mine has what appears to be a canted front sight. Never noticed it until I put the FAB Arms hanguard on with picatinny rail. With the rail I can look down through the V in the rail and see the front sight is canted but strangely it's  shooting right on to POA at the range .
It also had the gremlin where about every third shot the trigger would not reset.
Sent the bolt carrier out to get "tabbed" and put in new recoil springs.
It appears the problem is solved. 200 rounds down the tube since with no issues  thumb1

Garand-
When did you order yours? Or what is your serial # range? Mine is 10xxx, everything I have been able to find online people are stating the later batches have seen very few "gremlin" issues. I originally planned to get my bolt tabbed just for the piece of mind, but after shooting it I figured I would wait to see if it ever shows up.

Got it like the end of June this year. Have to check the serial # when I get home.
Having the tab welded on makes the bolt carrier like the Czech Point rifle and seems to cure the problem for most people.

It's serial #VZ08-000621

Hmmm ... Does that mean I have the 621st VZ2008 made by Century ?

No wonder it had so many problems  :(

I won't claim that I am very knowledgeable about the Century VZ2008, but reading over here
http://www.czfirearms.us/index.php?topic=64608.0

It seemed the earlier serial #'s were the ones that had multiple issues. Could explain yours.

There was also a thread at czfirearms where they were tracking serial #'s ,when they showed and ones that had issues. For some reason I can not find that thread now.

I bought myself one for Christmas.  Runs like a top, the folder is a pain in the patutie to get open/closed, you have to have it in just the right spot to depress the button, not sure how to get that to work better, but other than that, I love it!!!!

Got mine when they were offered for $379 with 3 mags, sling, cleaning kit (no bayonet).



I added a foam pad to the folding arm and secured it with velcro.

Picked up an original VZ58 bipod.  Solid steel legs and a folding swivel that allows it to tuck under the stock.  The swivel also allows left/right movement when extended for use.  It doesn't add too much weight.  Not sure how it'll affect accuracy since it's attached via the bayonet mount.

It's a tight little package when it's folded and wrapped.

Very nice! I have been eyeballing the bipods, but just haven't pulled the trigger yet.  cry1 Where did you end up getting yours from?

I've got the same one, I got it from jason bourne off the "other" sks website.  :) I believe that is where P32 got his also.
I have seen other versions on ebay, but not the exact one.

I really wanted one of these, but missed the lot he had.

Yup, I got the VZ58 rifle case from Jason Bourne.  Appears to be NOS.  Nice thick canvas.

The bipod I got from a group buy run by member "RSR" on "The Original CZ Forum".  It wasn't cheap at $96 shipped but it appears to be NOS military surplus and came in some Cosmoline like substance that he had sprayed with WD-40 before shipping to soften it up.  No flaws in the finish that I could see and it mounts/folds/extends/swivels as intended.  Looks like he has a wait list for the batches he got but there have been some non-responders from the original list so it may be worth inquiring.

Thanks P32, I seen that group buy, but thought it had all ended and were spoken for. Now that I re-read it I see there are 5 that haven't been claimed yet so I put my name on the list.

So it only fits folding stocks? Both my Vz58 and Vz2008 are fixed socks, I didn't like the folder.

Correct it will only fit with the folding stock.
Only one I have seen for the fixed stock, but it is new production. To me it just looks kind of cheesy.
