VZ58 and CA compliance

[snobordr]

So, getting ready to start a couple of VZ builds, if any of you have these kits and are looking to figure out CA compliance, I may have a suggestion. I picked up a MMG from Irvington Arms yesterday, very happy with both so a thumbs up to MonsterMan for the grip and of course one to IA for their helpfulness as well.

The MMG wood grip for the AK can be modified to fit the VZ, and with a wood stock, might look just as good. This just requires some clearance at the top of the grip on the mating surface to the trigger guard that comes with the kits so the lip can set in the top of the grip itself. Other than that, it looks like a good match with the receiver and there is US made Oak furniture available to get a reasonable match, though I do not know from what the MMG is made, looks close to my oak desk though.

I have folding stocks so there is the OAL issue to deal with still but given the MMG solution, I might go with a US made stock in Oak but would rather mount it per original specs, not the method used with the stock sold at the link provided below. So I guess that leaves one issue to be resolved no matter which way I go.

US made wood furniture here.

Don't want to go with a locking mag, huh? I think that is the route I am going to go.

I am still waiting for one of my receivers and barrels to be returned, and am waiting on compliance parts. This project may take several more months.

Haven't found double stack 10 round magazines yet, and refuse to buy a 30 for the purpose of bastardizing it. n Think I saw you in the pre buy thread... having the barrel installed? I got mine home yesterday, found the barrel drops right in, no slop, but definitely not a press fit. Calling ORF to arrange RMA tomorrow, hoping they can serialize the replacement to the existing one I have. Not really into another DROS on this one. And yes, still waiting on compliance parts too, going to ask about those tomorrow as well.

I think that is the way these things go. I had one barrel and one receiver that were a good press fit. The other receiver, I sent back with my other 2 barrels so they can swap barrels with me for one that will press fit into my receiver.

Hopefully that works out.

Contemplated that route too, would also be cheaper. But still, anyone find 10 round double stacks yet?

And 69mach has a good pic of what it looks like with an MMG in this thread.
