Palmetto State Armory CZ2008 sale....

[jb2sea]

Hey Manticore, any idea when we might see parts for sale?  I'm willing to wait a bit.  But not too long!!

[gwvt]

Well, I got my second one in today. It's a 3rd Gen but an earlier serial number than my first one - this starts with 003 rather than 009. It has the split trigger guard rather than the single that the other one has and the folder is a slightly different style also. I haven't shot it yet but it seems in good shape, although the finish is a little scratched here and there. It's dry as a bone so I doubt if it was test fired, the mags are a little rougher and the sling was an old, used leather one rather than the NOS canvas one the first time but still, I'm happy to have gotten another one before they sold out.

Does anyone know if PSA will have them back in??? I think I'm ready to buy my 3rd.. God know I have enough magazines for it.

[Enthusiasm]

I would buy one, but I think the ship may have sailed

Similar experience to gwvt, my first one in Nov had a 12xxx serial, single trigger guard and open top front sight, small front sling ring.  This one that came in last week from PSA has an 06xxx serial, the split trigger guard, a round front sight and a large front sling ring.  The barf is a little beat up and is darker.  The action isn't quite as smooth, but it hasn't been fired either.  I also had to ream the rear dust cover pinhole a bit so I didn't have to use a punch each time.  Overall it looks great though.

1. They were on "clearance" at PSA...

2. Back in June of last year I emailed Century inquiring about the number of VZ2008s produced and was told and I quote:

Thank you for your interest. I can only advise that we have a few thousand left in existence to sell.
 
Kind regards,

Century International Arms, Inc.

3. JG Sales fixed stock listings (they don't list folding) says they're no longer made.

4. No one has them in stock per slickguns (might find a vendor somewhere that has them -- they're still $500 or so on Gunbroker): http://www.slickguns.com/search/apachesolr_search/vz2008?op=  (Click on each listing and scroll down to see in stock status and price comparisons)

5. The VZ2008 is now being sold in Canada as a non-restricted rifle w/ chrome barrel (Canada gets a lot of corrosive ammo as they don't have the steel core and accordingly get cheaper surplus) for 2x the cost of the VZ2008 here: http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showthread.php/1001746-VZ58-CZ-858-non-restricted-Pre-order-westrifle-com

Yeah, I think if you really want one, I'd get one for the best price I could find on Gunbroker or the like. They're still relatively cheap there. I'd guess it's only a matter of time before the prices start rising.

You just described my recent acquisition to the tee. I will have to ream the dust cover pin hole as well.

Actually read through that CGN thread a little further.  It was unclear if any were able to make it through their customs/RMP review, so it's possible the Palmetto clearance was just what Century had been holding for the Canadian market and wanted to get rid of ASAP?

These things are reproducing faster than anchor babies.....I'm beginning to think I over bought with the 4 I have.  The market will be saturated with these

If you have the funds to hold on to those until the supply runs out, you can easily make money on them. If you try to sell while the market is good, you may have a hard time.

Just hang on the supply has to run out eventually. This rifle contains many surplus parts and when those run out Century will discontinue making them.

[Enthusiasm]

I agree, you made a good investment, just a LONG TERM investment

[Enthusiasm]

Of course brasky, I can give you 300 for your "used" vz2008
Hehe

[RSR]

I would think you can sell them for more than you paid on gunbroker right now...  Lowest I've seen there is $450 and they sell...
