Any chance you could share a pic of the connection between the new wood butt and the reciever, and how you connected it without using a furrule?
Wow....just WOW! I HATE the 858, but with furniture like that now I'm going to have to buy one...damn damn damn!!!LOL!!! Kevin - we're not worthy!!!

I will snap a pic later on once the next coat of stain dries, but in essence, I just used a longer bolt of the same thread type (bought from home depot), and mounted the stock flush to the reciever. All I did was take the furrule out of the picture, as all it does is add an extra layer of protection from twisting. From what I can feel, there is absolutley no movement of the stock, but I will bring it to the range and fire a few hundred shots to make sure that it still does not move. If it does, then I will go back to the drawing board, but if it stays absolutley rock solid, I will sell them as is.

As a side note, the AK cocking handle is milled as part of the bolt carrier. You could have to get it built and welded onto a 58 carrier. Several members have already done that.

weld? why cant the CZ858 cocking handle be mod to the AK shape?

It's a pretty easy modification to the handle.. I've made several that shape for left-side carriers from scratch. It'd be a lot easier modding the existing right side handle.
Shoot me your carrier and I'll do it at no charge, just cover shipping, It'd look good with your AK wood.

Next step is to see if there is a way to make the proper AK style of safety lever.

But why? The 858 lever is more ergonomical.?
