Magpul AK grip on an 858...it can be done!

[I <3 M14]

I haven't seen a definitive thread yet on whether this could be done so I figured I'd post one up. Picked up a magpul AK grip from CTCS and after 3 hours of patient grinding and fitting...voila! It was a PITA...but it does work.

enjoy!

I have the Hogue AK grip, but haven't been brave enough to try to fit it on my VZ58. Will try down the road I am sure as they look cool. Have you fired it with this new pistol grip and if so, how do you like it?

Nice rifle and wood furniture.. where'd you get it or did you fabricate it?

Looks great! Looks like it was designed to fit.

Looks out of place with the wood but very good on its own, as does the wood. Looks like a very comfy affair.

Valmets mixed wood with a plastic grip, and ak's often mixed wood with Bakelite. Looks mismatched, but has an authentic look none the less.

-Haven't fired it yet but it's a similar profile to the fab vz58 grip that was on there before so I imagine it'll be much the same.

- wood was from Travis bickle's brother from a year or so ago.

- was going for the same look as this ak74, still want to get it nitron blackened by Armacoat

Not to take away from your vz, but damn do I want an ak like that.

That's one good looking 858

What is the benefit of doing this grip on the VZ/CZ by filing/sanding the grip vs removing that grip retaining plate/ring?

Some folks remove the grip plate to mount an AK grip.

I got one of these grips for Christmas so I am debating how I want to mount mine.

In hindsight it would probably be easier to remove the plate and just install it against the receiver. I've never done it so I'm not sure.

In the end , probably six o' one half dozen of the other
