Standard AK pistol grips can be adapted to fit the Vz58 fairly easily, but since the AK has a larger receiver, most of it's stocks couldn't be made to fit without a really kludgey adaptor, nor can anything other than the Magpul Zhukov or some other lengthened forend really be an option.

Of course, there's not much stopping anyone from supplying AK profiled furniture to begin with.

Personally I don't care about the looks, but I prefer the feel and function of AK furniture, especially in not having an annoying crescent shaped buttplate and a more hand filling grip and forend.
 
Come to think of it the one thing I'd like to see is a redesigned dust cover, one that's more rigid at least, that has a rear sight like a Valmet M76 or Galil.

On a 58 that wouldnt be as much of a problem. The real problem would come where since the dustcover is integral to the operation of the firearm, if you hit anything it's mounted to and twist the cover, not only would you shut the gun down but you wouldnt be able to release the striker and open it up to fix it.

Not all AK mags are steel, this isn't 1955 any more.

The question is, have you ever held a synthetic military AK mag?

They're probably the most durable box magazine there is, and are slightly lighter than a Vz aluminum mag.

There are also a lot of them sitting in places with really good exchange rates like Ukraine and Venezuela.

Have you seen the prices for 7.62x39 military polymer or bakelite mags?

They're a dime a dozen overseas, they're expensive in North America because nobody's ever brought them in in quantity.

When's the last time did anybody import a large amount of AK mags of any kind to Canada, 1991?
 
Magpul AK mags were cheap last year so I stocked up... But I never had a single issue with my CZ mags. I cant say that about the magpuls. But it could also be the SKS-D thats being a turd.

ahhhhh makes sense!! just was always curious. and true function is always more important.
 
An optic friendly flat top version that people can actually buy would be the bomb.
There is irony in my comment. :)

That's funny. I agree too many teases lately from different suppliers " here is what is coming soon... just give us money and wait... ...and wait and wait.."
