What Would You Like To See From Manticore Arms
« on: November 19, 2014, 12:22:41 AM »
In an effort to assist Manticore Arms on their new interest in manufacturing accessories for VZ platform of rifles I have created this poll. Let's assist this wonderful US company in finally manufacturing accessories at a price and quality we can all afford. You can only vote once but you can select multiple items.

Ok, how about:
Windage (and elevation) adjustable aperture (or peep) rear iron sight
Railed (a-la troy) but gently angled stock adapter with 3 full slots on the rail ( same height)
kalifornia compliant non pistol grip - grip = web of hand to thumb not wrapping around grip for "feature-less" configuration and blending nicely with abovementioned stock adapter

Also a 30 magazine clip and a shoulder thing that goes up

... you asked  :-*

Tactical bolt release is got to be the hardest thing to find. I would start there.

I had a feeling when I created this poll that the tactical bolt release would rank among the highest. I still feel it may win the poll.

How about a small metal optic mount stand that bolts directly to the stock upper hand guard? You would have to cut a rectangular hole on the beaver barf hand guard cover and then drill the steel sheet metal part to attach the stand. It could have a rail on it or proprietary mounts for co-witnessing reflex sights.

For a simpler option, a optic mount that installs over a stock upper hand guard, beaver barf and all. If you could make it partially co-witness the irons that would be fantastic. Might be doable if you used proprietary base configurations vs. a standard rail.  Make it for some affordable reflex sights like the Fastfire, Accelerator, Primary Arms offerings, etc.

Please do this so I don't have to. I am sure your end product will be nicer anyway!

I voted for most of the available options, but I was going to say, maybe consider instead of a pistol grip, maybe an AR15 pistol grip adapter. I would love to run a Magpul MOE + on a VZ.

A nice all metal hand guard. Smooth so key mod would probably look the best with a built in top rail.  I hate the original furniture

Have to do the poll when I get home.  Tapatalk doesn't show it for some reason

My vote is for 20 round mags.  As far as I can tell nobody makes these, or at least not for affordable prices.  We've got the issue 30 round mags and there's a few low capacity mags out there, but nothing in between.

I will state this again, we are not going to make magazines for teh VZ58. 

You can get surplus mags at Apexgunparts for $20 each when you buy four.

The cost of the tooling would far, far, far outweigh what we could ever recoup on sales. Multi stage stamping dies plus the welding would easily exceed $100,000 in tooling.  Same for molds a polymer only magazine- $50,000-$80,000 in just tooling.

QD/ railed top cover for mounting optic is probably one of the most desired items.

An ambi bolt release, an optic mount that is easily removed or still lets you utilize the hard sights and a stock adapter so you can put your own adjustable stock on it (folding would be awesome), that is reasonably priced. Maybe even sliding a la MP5. I would be happy with a bolt release ::)
