Was looking to put a mid-point sling loop on my Vz58. Wasn't too keen on the plates offered. For the most part it makes sliding the scope mount on and off a PITA. It clears, but just barely. So I devised a plan to use a AR-15 sling plate and modify it to fit.

After much searching I went with the GG&G ambidextrous plate, luckily Wolverine was offing them. Here is the result:

Needs some final touch-ups but over all it seems to work. It's not the most ideal location and sits an inch more rearward than a true AR set-up. My only fear is the stock tube will rotate from use as it lacks the lug to mate with the AR receiver. I will have to put it through it paces once my sling arrives.

Thanks. Hopefully it's works.

Oddly this Vz58 is this years deer rig. Mid point for easy tuck hunting. Thought I would challenge during the TWO WEEK rifle deer season.

Irons for the first week, scope for the second week.
