As I stated below, I'm looking to machine a cantilever scope mount for my VZ 58. For those that don't know, this replaces the stock in the rear of the receiver and attaches with the same stock screw that the original stock had.
That means I will have to machine the mount to replace the stock, and in the process will have to machine an adaptor for the stock. I got to school for machine technology and my teacher has told me he'll be able to help me with machine operations if I can get the parts drawn up.
So that means that, in addition to the standard stock, I can put just about any stock on there that I can reasonably create an adaptor for.
I'm looking for something that either retracts fully or folds to keep the overall length as short as possible when folded. Also something not too expensive and not terribly complicated to machine.
My thoughts right now:
Original folding stock
MP5/MP7 style retractable stock
Folding buffer tube adapter for AR stock (more difficult because I'd have to locate the proper taps)
The original folding stock has poor cheek weld and not a lot of padding, although it's comfortable to shoot with the muzzle brake I have on it. The MP5 stock is really neat, but I worry about eye relief and cheek weld with the 1-4X scope I want to put on it. The AR folding stock seems to allow the most flexibility, but is also one of the bulkiest options and one of the more difficult to machine.
If there are any options I'm looking over, I'm all ears. I'd even try airsoft/paintball/replica parts if they're made out of a decent metal.
