Thumbs up Ronin's New VZ58 Long Grips..A brief review

Ronin's new VZ58 Long Grip a Brief review.
Gentlemen, for a long time our only option for a longer pistol grip, (of the correct original contour) for a VZ58 was to fabricate one out of wood yourself. Well no more! Today, (after talking to George about the possibility of his making a longer version of the original military grip many months ago), I received 4 of George's new long grips with new PG screws, (2 for current rifles, and 2 for future builds on Obiwanbonjovi's new receivers when they come out), and allow me to say this HOLY CRAP THEY ARE PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok I got that out of my system. Quality and attention to detail are what we have come to expect from George, but this new grip fills a big gap in the after market parts arena for the VZ58. The ergonomics of the grip are perfect. The extra length and added weight of the grip just feel right in the hand, I don't feel like I have a little Smith & Wesson J frame revolver grip on my rifle anymore. To me the rifle feels more balanced, if you know what I mean. I am going to take some pictures tomorrow, and get them posted, so please be patient. I hope to get to the range this Saturday, after which I will post some input on how she preforms. In the meantime I would say that if you are in the market for the highest quality, original military profile grip for the VZ58 then you need to contact Ronin NOW! And no I am not being paid for this review I am just one REALLY SATISFIED CUSTOMER....

Hi Coils,
I bought them from czechpoint. I am pretty sure they are made by D-Technik.
Thanks,
