This is probably my last VZ build I'll have done. It's done for a close client and friend.

I'll be spending most of my time on AR's from now on, and won't have time to play with these girls much from a build standpoint.

.. I really wish I had a aftermarket grip left int he shop though.

I know I have hogged this thread a bit lately but my stock finally arrived from Israel and so did my new T1 and mount bought from Gunnutz dealers. So here it is, almost fully decked out. I May add an extended mag release and Tac bolt release.

The stock is very good compared to the stock folder. It is longer and more comfortable. The cheek riser lines up perfectly with my T1 on the KAC mount as well. Awesome stock for the VZ platform but a tad pricey. I do not like the look of AR stocks on VZs so it was one of the only solid folder options available.
 
Been working on a few Red rifles but this is the first to be done. I played a bit with Muzzle, refitted a bakelight mag to fit, and some furniture mods... aside from that she's as done as I see this one getting. I was going for a Krinkov but had to change plans when the super shorties never came out. A bit late to the CZ party but I've had the the Scarlet fever for the Red Rifles for about a year now:D

Looks fantastic. How did you get the bottom handguard to stay in place??

How are ya gonna keep the top one in place?????

Thanks:) Right now its still about 90% but for now the bottom just had to be trimmed to fit under the front ring and then the original was trimmed to fit in conjunction with a cut down filler piece from the original hardware. I could have fabbed a lower to fit but I wanted the look of the original Red shellac that I haven't had much luck in replicating:( Once the bottom was in the top just took some light sanding to make it work. Right now its taped in but I'll finish it with some epoxy filler down the road.

Originally the idea was to go with Krinkov features, but then the super shorties never came in and seeing as I already had sourced most of the parts I went this direction. Now seeing the shorties availible it'd be difficult to make it work anyway so I guess it all happens for a reason;).

There was a few other questions from pm's... the flash hider was from a company called GRG Manufacturing and is a 4 piece replica of the Bulgarian 'Krinkov' model ( that works very well). It's a 3 part flash hider plus an adapter up to 24mm. I had to retap mine as at the time they didn't make an adapter for 14mmx1R but it came together nicely. I have the original cone flash hider as well, but this one works much better, albiet it is a bit heavier.

The mag is a mod of an original Tula bakelight mag with an adapter from a sacrificial CZ mag. A PITA to make, but it works well.

An old AK dust cover has been fitted to act as a spent casing deflector. Based on how its kicking them out I'll probably have to open up the top a bit more but it works well too.

The AK Plum Bakelite grip needed a longer screw and some modding to make it work. The biggest pain was the folding Krinkov rear stock/trunnion mod but it works well now so I'm happy. I probably wouldn't go that direction again as when folded it interferes with the trigger for righties like me but what's done is done. Maybe figuring out a left folder would have helped? It'd be interesting to get an under-folder to work somehow though...

Not a VZ 58, but a Chinese Type 56. Most mods would work on a VZ 58, too, so why not post it here, too.

Changes:

-Added skateboard tape on pistol and foregrip, the original surface is just too slippery, especially when I get wet hands during "tactical" stuff.

-Applied a cable tie to the safety selector. Without it disengaging the safety makes quite a loud sound.

-Replaced the BFG 1 Pt-sling that I used before with an original russian sling.

-Silenced the metal hook with tape.

-Wrapped the metal stock with paracord to make it a bit more comfortable, still not as good as the fixed stock, which I should have gotten in the first place.

-Taped two magazines together, just for ####s and giggles. I don't think I'm going to like this setup, but a couple buddies were bugging me until I did it.
