Gotta find one myself.

If I give up on the mag latch, this is my thought as well.

Someone really needs to make a more affordable top cover, $300 is alot to spend for the Zahal cover and its another $50 shipping, so that sucks:banghead: I thought about welding a rail to the top of the original cover, but as someone mentioned, it wouldn't be worth it because it couldn't possibly hold zero.

Is it like part no. A500 as seen here: http://riflestocks.com/store/page19.html? If so I have part no. A500PB (which is currently attached to my Saiga-12 and has been modified by drilling and tapping the part to accept a sling swivel stud for sling attachment). I don't care for it because it doesn't lock up as tight as I'd like so I would be willing to trade you for yours + $20.00USD (we each pay our own shipping)...sound like a win-win?PD2BP253 said:
Damn Maverick, that sounds like a winner, send me a pic of your item and we just may have a deal What do you mean, it doesn't lock up as tight? The 500 is exactly the one I have and it locks up extremely tight, so tight in fact, its a pain in the ass to fold it...

You've got mail.PD2BP253 said:
To answer your query regarding the lock-up; no, I haven't found the push-button (henceforth referred to as "PB") type Ace folding mechanisms to lock up as tight as the non-PB style. I've tried a few, so mine's not just one that got away from the inspector. If that's not an acceptable trade-off then you might want to reconsider swapping for a PB style Ace adapter and try a different manufacturer altogether (the OEM VZ.58 folder affords very tight lock-up and is still fairly easily deployed, but it, too, is a compromise as it does not afford a long enough LOP for some folks nor a good cheek-weld for use with optics) or just keep the one you already have. I do, however, really like the Ace style stock as well as the quick deployment of the PB style version and overall strength of both the folding mech. and the stock itself (if I put a little work into the adjustment set-screw and the locking key I could probably get it to work exactly as I'd like, I just have too much on the table to mess around with it at this present time).

Has anyone tried extending these stocks before? I've been mighty tempted to stretch mine about 1.5" so it'll fold around the drum I have
Seems like it'd be easy for someone with a TIG welder and an angle grinder to splice on a short piece of bar and bring it up to "western" LOP standards--too bad I don't
. Attaching a couple risers and a curved steel cheekpiece would be fairly easy as well, for a (slightly) more comfortable but equally durable folding stock.I think I know what I'll be saving up for next...

I don't have a TIG, but I do have a MIG and angle grinder. If you can't find anyone local to perform the operation ship both the old and new one to me and I'll fix you up free of charge (less return postage).

I bought 'em all to convert to 20s.
I ended up getting something like 14 30rders and 2 75rd drums.... I think that will suffice for a lil range gun

I just had a picture in my head of Maverick standing on a mountain of 20's laughing menacingly.

ITS TRUE !!!! I just looked VZ.58 up on wikki, and it now says, "mag capacity 20 rounds".

In the US it's 30 and 10, pretty much, Factory 20s are rare as hens teeth. No 5 rounders, either, so only places like AZ which has no mag limit for hunting can the SA vz-58 be used as a hunting rifle.
limit
Around Texas hogs are the current most hunted animal. No limit for hogs. Not a game animal.
Twenty round mags are much better for prone and bench. Ammo generally comes in 20 round boxes. Of the dozen or so AR 15s I have owned I mostly used 20 round mags.
Selling my last one tomorrow to be able to buy more ammo for my 58.
Don't know the import regs but always looking for them.
Saw one on ebay once but it was too late.
