Manticore_Arms, I'm assuming this is Sven, but I know how that goes... you should let Tim know that you are looking into goodies for the vz.58... I don't think he ever sold his off, and you know how much MAC loves to play with new toys! Also maybe look into working with Horse from RS Products on some kind of a bolt on shell deflector... His side rail is, IMO, the best there is for the VZ.
