I wish the company that makes 858s got their s**t together. No rifle off the rack should do this.

agreed ..... and also wolverine should replace all the sear disconnect prior to shipping them out .

thanks for the info ... i wonder why wolverine sent you the carrier? did you notice any difference to the old? or maybe when you get a chance to measure them with a caliper.

The one on the right is from a CZ858, the other from a VZ58L
 
Question.

I want to go ahead and chop a 858 down to the gas block and then move the front sight back. I don't really feel like waiting 5+ weeks for the transfer to go through for a restricted and then have it cut down. Would getting a 858 19" thats non-restricted and having the instant transfer done, then having the barrel cut down and having it referyfied be faster? Since the gun is already in my name they won't have the retransfer it, just send off the reclassification to the CFC and have the certs changed, correct?

Or am I missing something?

Thanks.
 
Oh ya thats right, silly me. Stupid laws. Looks like I'll be waiting for the restricted transfer then... :/

Maybe I can find a dealer with a smith that can do the job while I wait for the transfer..... hrm. Anyone?

my cz858 carrier looks like the one on the left .

the carrier on the right that has part of the ramp milled out has nothing to do with the sear disconnect cos the SD is on the other side . the milled out part has to do with the full auto sear .
 
Here is about 50 rds shot from a bench rest 100yds. Iron sights. Yea I suck! :redface: I am sure I could do better I was practicing double taps at one point so have a few flyers. Sorry about the gigantic pictures.
