Building AK-47 furnature for an 858.

[dieselkevb]

So hows the production coming along ?

 

[Claven2]

Interested! Wish the stock was longer on my 58.

You could install an adjustable AR carbine stock

 

[scianna54]

AK47 - 4.3 kg
AKM - 3.1 kg
AKSU - 2.5kg

CZ858 - 2.91 kg

So, AKM and CZ858 are almost identical in weight. durable and reliable AKM magazine is heavier plus cleaning rod under the barrel and tools in the stock that what make a difference...

AK crude? ...the only crude I've seen are chinese and some USA made

To bad I don't have a prohib licence to buy your unwanted AK

Like in "unwanted gold".

LOL, every time I hear this.

 

[Sniper1]

Complete!...

...

I'm still dreaming about this furniture... how's it coming along ?

 

[wlly]

I wish I had the skill to make stocks as good as that.

I have a dewat AK with rough looking wood, I was thinking it would look better with VZ58 wood, has anyone made a VZ 58 stock to fit an AK ?

Lifes been busy. Got what seems like ten million jobs on the go at any given moment, alongside holding down my full time day job.



I have not gotten anything else completed on the stock set as I have been unable to find a reliable dealer for the stock furrules, which I need to be able to convert any of the rifles reliably.

I will hopefully pick it up, but for now, this project has taken a back burner on my long list of projects.

 

[Until the Angels Fall]

I am STILL in love with the furniture

 

[restless]

wow ok just found this thread, i want! if (hopefully when) you start production, sign me up for a couple sets!

 

[incorrigible]

you might want to step it up a bit, this guy's already has a thumbhole stock version going into production

 

[markl]

Honestly, i have one and it is not in any way better then a VZ. It is heavy and crude. Consider the AK, the fat sister in the red rifle family.

fatties need love too.

 

[jeepcjaholic]

make me a set! can't find a wood set anywhere for my cz! need wood help!

So why not design and build the stocks for rifles with the ferrules, and leave it up to the buyer to source them out? Most of us have them left over from our factory stocks, anyway...

Awesome. Just needs a shovel head bayonet.

Mainly due to the fact that I never could source one of the furrules to begin with. I had a wtb ad up for three monthes, and asked in this thread if anybody would part with theirs, but no dice.

I can't build stocks for a part I don't have, and on my student budget, I can't afford to buy a new non-restricted 858 just for that one part.

 

[Deckard]

What part is that exactly?

 

[Kevin M.]

The stamped metal part that holds the factory wood stock to the reciever. Stops the stock from twisting.

 

[David_K]

Is there any way you could build a Romanian style pistol gripped lower handguard?

 

[Deckard]

I can lend you a ferrule with an address given.

This was my Romanian experiment:

 

[lone-wolf]

I seem to have an extra one of those ferrule things. PM if you want it.
