DIY AK & RPK clones (vz58/cz858)

thanks fellas .

also thanks for the offer but i do this as a hobby , not to make money or do it for others , i cant possibly sell something that i have created , something that took me many hours to make ... honestly , i spent my whole life in an office, the heaviest thing i held was a cup of coffee so working with my hands was a nice change so if i can do it so can you .

i will have a DIY section attach to the front page , hopefully tomorrow .

How did you get the RPK mag to fit though?

I don't know he made that one but if you are careful and don't mind breaking one in the learning process you can remove the top of a CZ mag and fit it over another.
 
I also would like to know how this process of changing an AK mag to fit a VZ. Please give us a tutorial or something similar for this process.

destroying a VZ/CZ mag? :eek:

taking two mags to make one, not cost efficient ... see , im sounding like a corporate analyst .:D:D:D
 
You would think someone would modify a complete AK kit (stock, grip and fore end) and then run it through something like what they use to copy stocks. Do it with some good wood and sell the product unfinished. Maybe there are some mechanical limitations, I don't know. I'm pretty sure you could sell a ton of them if the wood grade was good. Blonde or dark would no doubt be a big hit.

yeah 1 for 2 sucks but 5/30 or 1 for 6 sucks even worse and we all buy oodles of them LOL.
 
Oooooohhh, nooooooooooo.............
You just took Deckard's homework, how dare you? ;)


Neah, he was just bragging.... :p

PS If he makes 200 more threats about his kydex deflector,
somebody will make that one too before he gets to it :D
 
you converted the mag the same way we converted the Drum ....except on the drum I had to build up the front latch pushing the drum back and change the pitch several degrees so it would feed properly.

good to hear that i did almost the same way .
fine tuning the mag is pretty easy to do, if need be .

Take your Ritalin, kid. This is everyone's game. Mind you, haven't seen your work lately. :runaway:

I need to actually have a rifle to make a deflector.
 
Hey Curtton, do you do all of your conversions on the long-barrelled 858s? (and just how MANY 858's do you have? If you have one for each stock set, that'd be what... 6? PSL, SVD, Tigr, RPK, Chinese AK, Romanian AK?)

I don't suppose you could get a picture of the AK furniture on a vZ.58 carbine, could ya?
