Another StG58

Here's an StG kit I put together with a VOW pistol grip on a Type 3. It also has a Belgian hooded rear sight.

Looks good. How do you like that grip? Does it feel better when firing?

Bruce,
Actually, this is a sympathy post, because no one else would say how nice it looks and I didn't want your feelings hurt.

Really, though, how's the grip?

Bill

HiYa Bill:

I like the grip - it fits my hand perfect, and IMO, adds a little more feel when I'm blasting away. I think I may get a couple more for other mostly black rifles (principally the G1 and the R1), since it looks a little more at home (re: evil) on those.

Regarding the sympathy post....BWAHAHAHAHA!

Shoots better than I historically can. Four shots into a 4" circle at 100 yards in about 12-15 seconds offhand. That's very good for me. I never do any bench rest shooting.

The first forty rounds yielded two stovepipe jams, the remainder smooth as butter. I fured it just needed to burnish itself.

I think the grip was $30 or $35. I like it. Thanks VOW Dan!

Hanguards get hotter 'n hell. Reminder to self: Buy Chicken Mitts and matching hat.

What's the part number on that grip? It kinda looks like the tactical grip without the palm shelf? It looks really good on your rifle.
