Palmetto State Armory CZ2008 sale....

[nickndfl]

Still the best deal in a sporting 7.62 x 39 even with the reduced accessories.  Pretty soon it will be one mag and extra for the cleaning kit.

These things won't stop breeding...like rabbits these rifles are

That could be a good thing! Law of Supply and demand can keep prices low and hopefully they will become more popular.

Exactly -- more VZ2008s means more VZ58 accessory and retail options and at lower prices in the US... 

And despite them (IMO, foolishly) apparently cease and desist lawsuiting Century and not licensing their patented tab (by my math, they could have easily doubled their 5 year VZ58 releated revenue in just two years w/ a fairly priced tab license to Century), among other matters, Czechpoint having a monopoly on the CSA guns also means that these Century guns are rapidly expanding their potential, nay likely, future customer base...  The point here is that there are a lot of new VZ2008 owners who will continue to buy VZ58 variants for the remainder of their lives...  (Tired of the zero sum mentality in the firearms community, by both buyers/shooters and retailers...  Will save that tangent for another time...)

As in many markets... there is often a "loss leader" and a premium supplier.    Not rare at all.

Palmetto is down to 61 rifles left. How many more will come after these are gone??

[taceto]

Can't find any more for sale on the site.  Could this be the last of them?

[RSR]

Possible...

Generally, PSA restocks after sales w/ free shipping -- only selling so many items w/ free shipping before cutting them off...

Agreed!   And now is the time for that "tangent".  Always look'n for a good tangent.

Have not seen any VZ2008s from PSA in several months now.  Maybe they are concentrating on their new AKs?

[bbush44]

There is a seller on gunbroker selling several straight from Century, just search "VZ 2008 Century Arms VZ2008 Rifle 7.62 x 39" on gunbroker. I assumed century only sold them to re-sellers like PSA, etc..

[gwvt]

Yeah I doubt if we'll see a PSA deal on these again. The gunbroker ones are still under $600 shipped including CC fee, which is still a decent deal, imo.

[LittleJenny]

So glad I got mine when I did.

I'm glad they ran out when they did, to remove the temptation. But now looks like I have to get over to gunbroker?.

[gwvt]

On the bright side - the gunbroker ones come in a fancy-shmancy Century branded box!
If I had to guess, I'd say they might be along the lines of the later PSA batch of earlier made 3rd gen rifles, just based on the split trigger guard and more worn looking mags.

[JohnEd]

gw,

How many  "gens" have there been and what are the differences?

[gwvt]

By that I meant that's how we've been referring to the last CAI batch that most of us have with serial numbers starting 'VZ08PM'. There's a thread around here about serial numbers with that convention... found it:
http://www.czfirearms.us/index.php?topic=62802.0

First Gen start with VZ
Second Gen with VZ08
Third Gen with VZ08PM

I don't recall all the differences - Century went through a series of changes in terms of who made the receivers, barrels, etc...

(edit)  More to the point - it seemed that the later batches that PSA was selling were of rifles that had earlier serial numbers than ones they were selling earlier. At least some of these had the split guard among other differences and also had worse-looking  mags sent with them. All of these were 3rd Gen as far as I know.
