vz-58 stock

[Rain_Song]

What are the stock and handguard of the VZ-58 made of? Also, btw, what is the finish or coating on the metal parts?

I think it's called "Bakelit" or something similar. Really primitive synthetic. The metal surfaces are painted.

The furniture is wood impregnated plastic. Finish is paint.

how would it take to being drilled for a mount on the top handguard??

Member Kasat did that IIRC. That is also the way the OKO mount is attached. The only problem is the looseness of the handguards, they would have to be bedded to the forestock or secured some other way.

I noticed it moved a little, even when secured.
