but aren't they the ones where you use the front half of the original receiver then have to weld it all together?

I would rather use a factory receiver than a welded in repair section, for the price difference(little) and the factory quality.

that'd be one hell of a pinch on Zemanova's titty if she pressed that trigger lol. Look at the bolt carrier nestled against her lucious silicone

I have a quick question - not intended as a slag, a serious question

I see alot of the newer pics of Czech forces in war zones using black zytel(?) stocks on their VZ58's. What advantage would this give over the wood impregnated resin used for the original stocks? The folding stock, I get. I even get the newly remanufactured ones with the black plastic overmolded cheek rest. They make sense. But what putpose does switching the stocks out for zytel serve other than to make the gun look black?

I agree it looks zombie-killing cool, but I doubt the Czech military cares too much about Gucci Gear.

Finally, the modular HG that Palinak sells:

I note it is made with fiberglass reinforced composite (sounds ALOt like Zytel to me) - is this as durable as, say, a machined aluminum setup? Is an Aluminum Mil std. 1913 rail compatible product alternately available?

durable

I have one - tough as nails, lighter than the aluminum one made by brugger (WHICH WILL SET U BACK ALMOST WHAT U PAID VOR THE RIFLE)

also - the standard fore end loosens up with with use - the infratek stays tight (adjustable) - the rails allow attachements for handy gear - and I found my 858 shoots more consistently with it cause of the tightness - I get 3 rd. groups of half inch at 100 yds and one and a half inch at 200 - consistently -( but I have a bubble level on the rail , 2 moi red dot , bald eagle rest , and I sort the wolf ammo by batching it according to similar O.A.L. and weight [digital powder scale] - sometimes get called flyers cause of the extremely crappy trigger - have to work it real slow . For the money the infratek is the best forend out there - and no I dont work for paul - LOL

ok, but why do so many czech army pics of VZ58's have this stock:

It seems to me it offers no advantage over the original stock aside from looks?

 

[chopper 1]

the flat panels on top and sides make it easy to attach rails but the forend would still end up being sloppy with use

I have the same forend and the lower part cracked from the barrel heat.

 

[chopper 1]

the wolverine one attaches better so it shouldnt loosen up as easily but I have heard they are brittle and the molded picattinny rails crack

 

[Deckard]

I guess Deck's love of the old red plastic is well placed.

barfwood does have its appeal - indestructable - distinctive looking - I like it too - I keep one cz original -
