Picked up a new CSA and wanted to set it up to be lighter and more compact than my CZ858 which turned out fairly heavy. One of the options I looked at was changing out the metal folder for a variety of other folders and the ones I liked were all in the $300.00 or better ball park. Given what i put into my CZ858 I want to keep costs down where I could for this carbine.
So I considered what I liked, and did not like about the standard folder and did some searching online and came up with a UTG model 47 butt pad, which gives you that extra inch or so of reach. Fits tight and I have not had any issues with it coming off.
Then I wanted a better check weld so I found a riser for an AK47 under folder which looked like it would be a close dimensional match. I really liked the look of the cheek rest/Riser made by Samson. The AK47 under folder stock was very slightly wider than the VZ58 folder so I used a spacer to take up the difference for a secure grip on the folder. You have to make sure you move the riser back far enough that the charging handle does not hit on the riser if you ever think you might fire it with the stock folded. After that it feels good and is height adjustable.
Spent about $70.00 to make the folder fit the way I wanted. the standard folder has some very good points and these items complete the functional package IMHO. Anyway had not seen this setup for the VZ58 folder and thought I pass on the info for those who might be interested.
