Title: Side Project & the Factory CZ Folding Stock?
Post by: Box on October 12, 2016, 09:03:38 PM

Between these two, which do you feel is superior?   

I've read that the Side Project folding stock is tighter and is less wobbly.   However, it's pretty expensive ($179).    The OEM CZ folding stock will soon be released separately, as opposed to being a part of the 922 kit, and should be cheaper.

I'm not sure which I should go with, so feedback is appreciated.    Also, does anyone know if Side Project offers a military discount?

The factory folder is superior due to proper comb height for cheek weld and factory look. The other stock is cool but still does not provide proper height for cheek weld, optics, etc.

I can cheek weld just fine with the Zhukov stock while co-witnessing factory irons with a red dot. It's a much better built stock. Made by Magpul for the higher recoil and rugged AK type rifle. So many people have reported issues with the factory CZ stock. The pin walking out, wobbly, magnet falling off, I know I'm missing a couple more.

Having shot both, the CZ stock is slightly comfier but that is it. It may be made for the Scorpion so it has that advantage but it's not on par with the Zhukov as far as quality.

Now with the CZ stock being sold separate from the 922r kit, it may not hurt to try both stocks. Paying $200+ for the kit with a stock that has multiple warranty issues is straight lame in my opinion.

Got the Side Project stock.  Love it.  It does sit higher than the factory stock RE check weld, BUT it lets you use standard AR15 sights and scopes/dots which are at a perfect height for use.  Have Magpul BUIS and a Vortex SPARC AR red dot on mine. Great setup.

I bought the Side Project stock because I was impatient waiting for CZ to turn loose more factory stocks.  However, when Midway got some, I ordered the CZ stock as well.  My form 1 is still pending so I can't comment on cheek weld, but the Side Project stock is pretty nice.  I'll try both when I get my stamp and sell one of them.

I'd love to hear more feedback if anyone else has experience with these stocks.

Thanks to everyone who've replied so far.

Military Arms Channel went from the CZ stock to the Zhukov just FYI.

Does the Side Project have a magnet like the factory stock?   


How does the Side Project stock compare to the Lage folding stock?   Pros & cons?

Side Project doesn't fold, it's just an adapter to fit the folding Zhukov stock.

The Zhukov stock doesn't need a magnet as the tolerances are tighter and it will stay folded unless intentionally pulled open. Whereas the CZ factory stock is looser and swings open and closed easily, thus requiring a magnet to stay folded.
