VZ2008s with their taller receiver ledge do require removing some of that ledge material around the lower half of the receiver hole which isn't ideal...  Not sure how to configure otherwise...

I'm sure Manticore will be able to get this figured out without modding the receiver.

Agree, you could probably do it by making a VZ2008 specific ambi safety -- it would have to be longer and have some sort of semi circle piece that sat atop the ledge.  It's just not ideal making a different part for each type of receiver variance when you could just make one...

Hey, just checking in guys, didn't want you to think I forgot about the VZ parts!  :)

We have two major projects (multi product contract work for OEM applications) we are working on right now that are eating up all my design time, so as I said it may be a little bit before I can get to this.  That being said, as soon as I get some design time I can get a Keymod lower handgaurd knocked out pretty quick and then the optics mount top rail.

Good to hear you busy.  Say you in a MAC video the other day.  Keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Got some bits and pieces showing up to the shop  in the next week so we can start looking at these products in earnest.

That's good news, Sven. I've got my second vz2008 in the closet waiting for some upgrades! Can't wait to see what you guys turn out.

Looking forward to seeing the designs.  If it's a nice looking, high quality part, it will sell.  But hopefully something more reasonable than the current choices!!

No prob, and the fast shipping is thanks to our Shipping Manager Kristen.  She insists that everything should be shipped within 24 hours if at all possible!

If not the whole new 30 round mag - maybe floor plates and followers that are 922 compliant (of the more reliable metal variety)?

Honestly I have not even had a chance to work on anything yet for the VZ58.   :(

been putting in 12 hour days 6-7 days a week and had to hire a new employee just to keep up with current demand, and also have been scouting for a larger location as we are outgrowing our current shop.

 We are trying to shift a lot of the day to day workload that I get tangled up in off of me and on to others so I can focus on design, but it will be a bit before that all gets sorted out.  Price of success I guess.  ;)
