I just purchased a Vz61 from the Czechpoint restock, very excited for it to arrive and I've already picked up a few accessories.
Question on the magazines- I grabbed 3 from the gunbroker seller auctioning off 3-packs; the listing said they're factory CZ production, but all three are different. Any ideas why they would be different? Two are black and a bit shiny, the other is gray and very matte. The gray has the two crossed swords stamp (very lightly stamped, didn't even notice it at first and not even visible in the photo) and what looks like a scratched in "TK" which I've seen on other mags in photos. One of the black shiny mags has the crossed swords stamp and the other has the crossed swords emblem... what appears to be printed onto it, not stamped into the metal at all. Just perplexing as I expected all 3 to be identical.

Side note: I stumbled across this while looking for a holster (yeahyeahyeah I know its airsoft 3D printed stuff but it could give some ideas. Plus the holster actually seems really neat IMO and the tri-rail could be handy. Doubt the optic mount would work but could offer ideas) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdHWtqYDc58 
Edit: I'm using image tags but it doesn't seem to be working. |

The plastic is very stiff and hard, will probably scrape hard against the Skorp , but of course I haven't gotten to try it on a Skorp yet. https://imgur.com/yECUGSK CD |

Sounds like different eras of production. Some discussion around "improvements" to the gun: 1. Has anyone considered (or done) having the rear plate of the lower receiver milled down from the backside and the stock adapter welded on rather than screwed on? Goal would be achieving the original design's dimensions of this area with the welding hopefully maintaining structural integrity. So the curve of the wire stock would set into the curve of the rear of the receiver as intended. 2. Has anyone considered having the rear sight removed and have a flat RMR mounting plate (or a rail section) welded in its place? I saw the very cool implementation R3dundantC did on page 1, but that sets the stock even further back. I came across this very cool solution for folding the stock over an RMR... on a Taiwanese airsoft forum. I used google translate to read about it, the user designed a CNC file and had the modified stock machined from aluminum. I also tried messaging him (using translate again) but didn't get any response. http://www.arms-cool.net/forum/thread-147902-1-8.html 
3. Is modification for installing the Rate Reducer as simple as drilling the two holes in the rear of the receiver? If so, does anyone know what the exact diameter is? 4. Steel selectors!! Haha, throwing my vote into the "these would sell very well" hat. |

Haha, throwing my vote into the "these would sell very well" hat. 2: doubt it'd hold zero. The sheet metal is extremely thin there. R3dundantC's mount would be best (BTW, that extra 1.5" in length would only help....the stock is absolutely tiny), only other option is mounting to the barrel like I did and I wouldn't exactly recommend it. Some Czech company makes a red dot+mount for them but I cannot get a reply from them or their US distributors. That stock mod would work great but would be stupid easy to make without a CNC machine. Just cut the original stock, bend the right size rod to fit around your optic, splice in where necessary, reweld and refinish 3: I personally have no idea, hopefully someone can chime in. 4: steel selectors would be awesome! |

Has anyone found a speedloader that works with Skorp magazines? I wonder if any of the MagLula products fit. |

Got my threaded upper from CZ. Love it with my Gemtech GM45, does great. Very quiet.
Attached File Fits good in the case from WRB (four gun case). Have to unscrew the arm brace to fit, but doesn't take any longer than screwing on the suppressor. I had the A*B Arms side folder on it for awhile, looked and felt great, but no way to lock it in place. It's seems to be for .22lr ARs only. I will get a Hera adapter when I can find one in stock for a decent price. Attached File Pic of the A*B Arms side folder with brace. Attached File |

I like that holster - Where did you score that? ebay has some military camo holsters listed in Czech Republic but are of a different flap and closure style. Yours is very cool!

Earlier a few of us were talking about a Maglula for double stacked 32ACP mags, I mentioned modifying a 1911 adaptor so I tried it. It works nicely for straight 32ACP mags, Beretta 81, and CZ83, but it did not work for the VZ61, the mag is a bit longer along the shell length and the mouth of the magazine is a bit narrower. I just useda file to widen out the insert I need to upload the pics give me a few,

It's only .9" wide. That's over a 1/4" more narrow than a RMR. It MIGHT fit mounted on top like that without modifying the stock. |

It would be interesting if Zastava could offer Century a legal M84 pistol to offer in the USA. What I've seen offered in Canada are converted factory auto receivers. |

Anyone in here not have a brace or stock on the back and can give me the dimmensions between the two stock mount holes (center to center)? I really don't want to take mine apart if I don't have to, its a bitch to get the brace back on there straight 
Looking for a folding mechanism that'll work is why, most are .625 center to center (ie stormwerkz) |

I wouldn't go nuts trying to make mag loaders for these until you've loaded one. They are honestly one of the easiest mags to load. Minimal effort all the way to full. It's no STEN mag. |

Anyone else's bolt hold open kind of finicky?
I believe the safety is designed to fully actuate the bolt hold open, but mine only partially actuates it, such that it only partially prevents pulling the bolt back when on safe (and no mag inserted). I either pull it a little extra hard to pop it past the bolt hold, or jiggle it back and forward a bit until it gets past. Isn't this supposed to be fully prevented? It also does that slight-catching on letting the bolt go back forward after having it pulled all the way back. Could I potentially just remove the actuator bar between the safety and BHO so there is no interaction between the two? |

Owners of 380 and 9x18 versions. Could you measure and draw a top view (looking down into mag) sketch.
I am thinking that genuine early style (Powder Springs) M11-380 mags (STEEL!) could be modified to fit with a replacement mag follower to trip the bolt hold open function. |

Haha, throwing my vote into the "these would sell very well" hat. The hardest part would be making the block. Not hard per se, but you will need a mill to do it right.....or get it 3D printed. Email [email protected] (this is his website) to see if he can make it for you. He's very fast at prototyping and making random gun related stuff and is pretty reasonable on the pricing. Hell he may start offering the things |
