Thoughts on the pistol? Awesome? Worth it? Sent from my SM-T290 using Tapatalk

If it says “Century” on the side, it ain’t worth 4

Huge difference between a VZ2008 and a Czechpoint VZ58 in terms of trigger, quality, etc. One is worth the $1000+ price tag and the other is not worth $400 IMO.

Nice! I have a sling I made for an AK. Maybe I will post pics at some point. I didn’t want to lead with it because it’s not simple or cheap though it works well. Like you I used 1.5” webbing to help with the heavier rifle. Mine was a little more complex because I used a 1.5 to 1” reducer on...

Just a follow up - I mentioned to you all that I would show you how to make super simple and super cheap front sling mounts out of wire rope. These work great with AR-15s with a front sight base but can be added to almost any firearm with a little imagination. So you'll need some 1/16 wire...

I sized the sling so that the wide-mouth slider with the attached end (shown in part two) is directly under the armpit of my non-dominant arm when the rifle is at the tightest position to my body with the least amount of slack in the sling. This is the “hands free” position. It is sized so...

What is not shown is that the front paracord came untied after I finished and strapped the rifle to my body. Luckily it didn’t drop the rifle on the floor. I replaced the front paracord with the vinyl coated wire cable. With a sharp knife, I shaved the vinyl off the ends of the cable before...

Thread the free end through one or two (I used two) triglides. Then thread through your rear attachment or the stock slots if you aren’t looking for a quick means of quick de-attachment. Size for fit (measure twice; cut once) and loop the remaining webbing back through the triglides at the...

Cut and “burn the ends” of 58” to 64” of webbing. I am just over 6 feet tall and attaching this sling to the stock and FSB of a M4 carbine. You may need more or less sling depending on your physical build and rifle length / attachment points. Sew-in the end of one side to the middle of...

This is a follow up to my post a week or two back. I will attempt to show you how to make an even simpler, less complicated, and cheaper sling for your rifle. Expendables – minimum of what you’ll need: 1” wide Nylon Milspec AA53801 webbing – 6’ or 2 yards: 2 yards @ $2.37 per yard =...

On my 10/22 that I traded - I had a Nikon Prostaff Rimfire 2-7x. It was pretty nice for the money. I think I paid around $100 for it and the mount.

I bought a cheap handheld stitching machine (battery powered) off of Amazon. It was total garbage and a waste of money. The needle doesn’t penetrate the nylon all that well and it moves too fast creating knots in the thread. I have thoughts of buying a real sewing machine but the amounts of...

I just use the wax twisted string that comes with the speedy stitcher. It’s probably not the ideal material but it works and it really melts into the nylon. I tried using nylon thread but the width of the thread is so small that it doesn’t work well with the standard needle on the speedy...

Wrap up So I’m a bit of a sling collector. I have 8 or so BFG slings, one Troy two point, two IDF slings, two VTACS, a way of the gun, a PIG one point ballbuster, multiple combloc surplus AK slings, a plain Jane USGI, and others that I’m probably forgetting. I love BFG slings because they are...

Part four All that’s really left is too loop the back end through/around the stock or hardware and then back through the triglides. Attach the front of the sling to the rifle. At this point you’ll probably have to adjust for fit. The amount of sling through the triglides on the rear...

Part three Ok so I need to buy an extra triglide (I only had one available) and I plan on attaching the sling direct through the slots in the stock. You should thread the loose end through both triglides and then through the sling hardware for the rear portion if you choose that option. Only...

Part two... Melt the stitching briefly with the lighter - both sides. Loop the free end through your front attachment. This is the part that attaches at the muzzle end. Then run the end through the very first slot closest to the stitched end. Make sure the sling is not twisted. It goes...

So I got into making my own slings because I find it a fun hobby for middle of the week nights while my wife is watching garbage on TV. Thought I would share details on how to do it yourself. Most of the items can be bought from Milspec Monkey or other websites. I am not affiliated with any of...
