Is that a new type of flash hider on the scoped one?
I bought a full set of wood furniture when I used to own an 858. I still believe a "real" gun has wood on it. A full set from Numrich might run $100.00, so it's something to consider beforehand.
I think on numrich it's listed under the 58 designation. Since it's essentially the same rifle there's no modification required to fit it.
I had to cut the plastic buttstock off with a dremel because no screwdriver would turn the original screw because of the locking nut.

My beaver-puke plastic stock was on so tight I stripped the screw and tried everything before I cut it. It was a last resort. I don't know how there could be any emotional attachment to it since this is a sporting rifle with no history or collector value.
The white lettering is Czech military writing, so I didn't consider it desireable to remove it. I suppose you could remove it if you wanted.
If I were to do it over again, I would use a shellac with more red in it.

Yes I'm sure there's lots of historical value in a new sporting rifle.
Let my destruction of my 858 stock be my contribution to all those out there who abhore this stock. I'm sure there are people who like that "beaver puke" but sometimes you have to vote with your dremel. That's one less POS resin-chip stock out there to stab you in the eyes (albeit metaphorically).
