vz58~vz2008 fixed stock

How hard was it to loosen and remove the nut inside the receiver to remove your folding stock?

Mine was pretty easy, just need a large enough screwdriver to fit in the nut at the end. I've heard a few folks had trouble as they spray on finish was also sprayed on the screw and then "screwed in", making it a bugger to remove. Some folks used a heat gun, hair dryer, penetrating oil, hammer/chisel/vise to break it loose. Mine came loose with a good twist of a large screwdriver (3/8" wide I believe).

I have several VZ's and the nut was a bear on the two I replaced. Finally "fashioned" a nut driver and used an electric impact wrench that easily broke it loose. If you can't find matching colored plastic wood, you can do a complete rifle upgrade, as in my version shown.

I had to use an impact screwdriver to get mine loose... I tried the beaver barf fixed stock for a few mags and found it beats your cheek up harder than the folder so I sold mine

Ebay is your cheapest route, but you can find them here in the states, but they are $$$.

Zahal Tactical Gear, an Israeli company @ http://www.zahal.org/groups/shop-sa-vz-58-cz-858 - all of my parts were shipped free and relatively quickly. Was somewhat apprehensive about an international order, but they accept PayPal, and had great communications. Lots of VZ parts available at moderate pricing.

That rear screw was a bear. I ended up heating mine with a torch to break it free.

The fixed stocks are pretty good, especially compared to the folders. I'm kicking myself that I didn't order the fixed at the time, since now all you can find are the wire stocks.

The FAB is a great pistol grip. It doesn't really match the traditional furniture but for 'modernized' builds it works great and is a huge improvement over the typical AK grip.
