I recently bought a VZ58 from czechpoint. I also got a folding stock for it which I installed the other day. The one thing that worrys me is everytime the stock folds it hits the reciever and I'm afraid it will start marking it up. Anyone have any ideas how to resolve this besides taping some cloth to the butt? Thanks

I've seen soldiers wrap parashoot rope (nylon type) around the wire folders. I've seen a few pics on ARFCom....looks sweet!

Buy some Plasti Dip at Lowes or Home Depot. It comes in a can like paint.
Degrease the buttstock and dip the rear in the plasti dip, or mask the whole stock off and coat the butpad and cheekrest area with the spray on version. It will have a factory rubber non slip coating (Its what many Tool Maker coat their hand tool grips in). You can peel it off if you hate it later or if it gets damaged.

I would get the spray on and do the whole buttstock about 1" past the folder hinge and rearward (Basically cover the whole thing minu the hinge area).

Give me a sec on the pic, the only digital camera I have is a cell phone so I'm trying to figure this out. The folder is just your basic czech surplus. Kinda both ideas, maybe I will just get another folder lol.

Good thread BTW!
That is exactly the folder I have. I actually like it better than the stock which surprised me as I normally don't like folding stocksThis is a factory VZ folder stock:

To be safe you can also add a small square of hard sided velco on the Receiver thwere the buttstock would hit. Llowes or Home Depot sells the Industrial Velcro in strips or rolls. If you need some stop by Scotts Gunsithing Next Saturday and Ill give you some velcro free. Its black in color.
Scotts, that funny. My father loves that place. I think scotty actually just fixed an 11-87 premier my brother n law managed to jam up. I am actually planning on going that way next weekend so I will let you know, I wanted to show my father the new VZ in our collection for a couple weeks now. But to tell the truth I'm going to home depot tomorrow to check out that spray.
also I think I just added the pic to this post

I wonder, from the pictures, if you could get some plastic door edging (like for adding to car doors) and slip it of the edge of the butt where it contacts the rifle, or maybe even wrap it around the entire edge. You could possibly use a heat gun to make it conform to the corners.
