Title: Recent Order from CP USA - comments
Post by: briang2ad on September 30, 2021, 02:11:33 PM: Ordered a lo mount rail and firing pin.

Sent an extractor but no FP. Doh.

The mount slides on OK, but the lever applies NO locking - its useless. Also, the finish is paper thin - very disappointing. Not very well designed or made.

Post by: briang2ad on October 01, 2021, 06:11:34 PM: This one also has the play-do soft lever. It’s going back. They must have a bad batch of side rails.

Post by: briang2ad on October 16, 2021, 06:42:00 PM: They sent me a new one and it’s the high mount. This one doesn’t go on the whole way. Guess I’m jinxed with these side mounts.

My rail says CSA on it - it is factory. Installed by Dan Brown himself. He would have known if there was an issue.

That MIGHT be the route to go - about twice the price, but they have to decide to make them again.

I am also considering ditching the whole idea. I have another thread coming.

Well, you get what you pay for, and RS Regulate side mounts are the best in the business: lightweight, sturdy and repeatable zero.

Post by: briang2ad on October 19, 2021, 12:28:55 PM: RS Regulate looks to be out of circulation. Been watching for months.

You might contact RS Regulate direct and see when they plan on making Vz58 mounts again. The owner is attentive to his customers and that mount is in demand. They sell out pretty quickly.

Done

He's still in business, but a small shop that was hampered by COVID regulations and just trying to get caught up with unprecedented demand per discussion here or elsewhere.

Post by: briang2ad on October 23, 2021, 05:41:27 PM: I’ll launch the latest CP mount back soon. Too bad. I’ll go with RS regulate when available.
