VZ-58 Part Compatibility
« on: November 15, 2020, 08:39:34 PM »
Hello, I'm new here but it's awesome to be here. I want to know whether or not furniture and parts between all VZ-58 clones are universal or not. Would furniture made for an SA-58 work on a VZ-2008?

Confirming VZ2008 and VZ58 furniture and mags are compatible?  Some pictures it looks like VZ2008 is smaller profile receiver and overall smaller.

It’s not smaller but some are out-of-spec and that’s why many times there’s a disclaimer “may not fit century VZ2008” on the sales notes for VZ-58 parts and furniture. Also the muzzle threads are different on some VZ2008

Thanks much appreciated.  Will make sure to pay attention to that.

I have a vz2008 and I've swapped a lot of different v58 furniture on and off of it.  There were some minor fitment issue with NEA handguards but everything else has been fine.

The biggest issues I’ve heard of are trying to fit the polymer pistol grip/shoulder stock combo onto a VZ2008. That’s the biggest out of spec difference I’ve heard of.

Good to know the subtleties of hardware.

I had to use a hammer to get my FAB polymer lower handguard on my 2008.

My VZ2008 came with the orange beaver barf handguards, now it has a surplus red beaver barf stock & matching handguards. They all fit just fine.

All VZ58s & VZ2008s use the same mags.
