If there is a thread that already exists on this, please direct me to it.
I have heard there are issues with installing muzzle breaks on the Century versions of the vz58. Mine is pretty new so I believe it is a "later build". I have a RH threads on mine. Do any of you have any advice on installing them? Thanks |

No real issue just not a lot of options out there, but the ones that are available are good quality. AKs use 1x14 left hand threads, most Century VZ2008s (all late production VZ2008s anyways) are 1x14 right hand thread. I think Century just used the slant brake cause it's cheap, while it's effective on an AK with a rotating bolt on the VZ it's more just a thread protector. I'll probably replace mine with something like the Slovak brake but for now I just re-notched mine so the slant is at the bottom of the muzzle, facing 6 o'clock instead of 5 o'clock.

What he said. Same here. |
| The threads on my VZ's have all accepted aftermarket muzzle devices without problems. My favorite is the Phantom flash hider. It brakes almost as well as the Slovak brake, but is much quieter and has no fireball. You can see a bunch of different ones at CNCwarrior.com. They have excellent quality, good prices, and extremely reasonable shipping rates. |

I am torn between those two! Which brake do you like better? What are the pros and cons of each one?

This has also been my experience on two of these rifles. One has the Phantom mentioned above and one has the break termed "slovak" I believe. Quoted:

If you have the newer version (My VZ2008 had the Left threads so I could use any most of any of the AK brakes, but my Czechpoint has the R), I would go with the standard CSA Vz58 brake. I think they call it the Slovakian. You can get a 922r comp one from CNCwarrior for around 30 bucks. I love the one I use on my czechpoint rifle because of the recoil reduction. Here is a link to the brake

| love the phantom from cnc went right onhttp://<ahttp://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a417/Rich_Gullstrom/image_zps2485226c.jpeg</a>" />have it on my ar too |
