Paracord wrap your stock, side folder & underfolder. VZ-58, AK47, Type 81.

It'll work on most side folding stocks especially on VZ58 which gotta be the most uncomfortable folder ever made, the sharp edges will punish your cheek with each recoil. Easy DIY, attractive, durable and interlocking, it won't unravel, also protect your cheek from the metal.
Do not to over tighten, give a little bit of slack to allow for the ends to go under and lock in place also spray water to loosen up the threads to undo it.

Just did this on my triangle stock and it does look much better and feel better. Thank you for this

[@gnutzguy]

good to hear. thanks for sharing.

[@John-xw5zg]

2020 and this video is still helping rookies like myself. Thank you sir

[@gnutzguy]

I was a rookie some 4 decades ago. Back then there wasn't any youtube so I'm glad I can do that now.

[@toilethero]

My go-to video for whenever I need to paracord wrap anything. Thank you!

[@gnutzguy]

ya welcome and i'll be paracoding my Type 81 underfolder soon, lol.

[@toilethero]

@@gnutzguy I just did mine with your method around the pivoting shoulder plate. Looking forward to seeing how you'll be doing yours 👍

[@gnutzguy]

@@toilethero mine has a riser so a bit more complicated.

[@JamesRumas3DArtist]

also used this method on type 81 and it's a nice improvement

[@gnutzguy]

@@toilethero for butt pad, I use the one from AliExpress.

Just did my type 81m UF.. Worked great.. Thanks

[@gnutzguy]

Great to hear!

[@rudedawg5087]

Just wrapped the top section of my Hi-Point 995TS stock to eliminate cheek slap using your method and it turned out great, thanks.

[@gnutzguy]

excellent.

[@mannaman]

Thank you! Just wrapped my stock today and it turned out beautifully!

[@tjbohmier46]

Excellent!! Very nice job and a simple "how-to-do-it-correctly", so it will last. Thank you.

[@eddievantrollen3459]

Excellent video. Yugo underfolder paracord wrap turned out AWESOME. Thanks!!!

[@andrettski8686]

Good vid, I just finished using your technique on a CNC Warrior AK pistol brace top bar, looks great and VERY tight.

[@gnutzguy]

ya welcome. glad you liked it.

[@bearly1727]

Thank You, I will be wrapping mine soon using your method.

[@evoasus2286]

I love the way this looks! I will definitely add it to my skeletonized J mac stock.

[@gnutzguy]

Go for it!

[@M81_WOODLAND]

Thanks, dude. This worked out well on my Romy wire underfolder.

[@gnutzguy]

Excellent!

[@bobboydlawncare9746]

Thanks for the video buddy. I wrapped two of my AK’s and it worked great!

[@gnutzguy]

Glad to hear it!

[@ProjectArms4719]

Just applied this method to my Arsenal Sam 7SF. Turned out pretty good. Just to be on the safe side i used 20’ of cord and it turned out that I only had to cut off just a few inches both ends.

[@gnutzguy]

good to hear.... thanks for sharing.

[@BulletSpoung]

Older video, but if you have a VZ-58 you need to look into the Bone Steel Arms side folding Galil stock. It's a huge improvement over the VZ stock and is priced right. I bought the NATO length and it's about 1/2 longer than the VZ.

[@gnutzguy]

i've sold bonesteel an underfolder stock for vz58 before he started his company. that gotta be over 15 years ago. i can do better than his galil. i'd combined the VZ58 side folder with vz58 wood and bakelite stocks. check it out. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKDYi41jj7Obq5Y

[@sarge12212]

Cool! Another idea to steal from you, lol. I give you all the props, Brother.

[@gnutzguy]

Please do!

[@dangerousfreedom4965]

Good job just subbed

[@PracticalTacticalFedeli]

Very well done sir!

[@Bob-gy6ud]

Great video. Best way to finish cut and sear paracord is actually with a soldering iron. This gives you a precise sear cut without over burn or casualty collateral burn a flame is very susceptible to do, fire is rather greedy and unpredictable.

[@gnutzguy]

good suggestion but to those who dont own a soldering iron, we do with what we have. lol

[@plagueleadstodeath]

Just did my first one and it turned out great, thanks!

[@gnutzguy]

you're welcome.

[@jirib.5735]

Thank you! 👍

[@ronaldluther324]

That was cool as hell ! Thank you for making this helpful video. It's going to look great on my triangle side folding KR-9. 👍🇺🇲✝️🇺🇲✝️🇺🇲

[@gnutzguy]

it sure will.

[@stripervince1]

Very nice method, will be wrapping just like that, soon as I get a vz wire folder

[@gnutzguy]

thanks, i like your shorty in your icon. i mod the folder as well for my two shorties. vid coming up.

[@joecon1263]

Thank you. Turned out well.

[@gnutzguy]

Excellent, thanks for letting me know.

[@yvestorquest5760]

I wonder if you could put a small piece of foam tubing and wrap over that, would it stay in place, hmmmmm?

[@gnutzguy]

like a copper pipe foam insulation? that will work but you might have to slice it thinner and best to tape it from falling out. it wont look pretty tho.

[@Bob-gy6ud]

If you use a bone steel Galil stock with the cheek padding on your AK you almost have to use this method or other method but the alternating 1/2 hitch wrap as this video shows is really the only way to prevent unraveling. Just put the tension ends in the open channel otherwise you won’t get a nice tight lock

[@dangerousfreedom4965]

👍

Hi! Just bought a Chinese AK Underfolder from SDM. What Paracord do you prefer? Is a Type III 550 too thick to operate the Stock afterwards? All the best from 🇦🇹

[@gnutzguy]

There should be lots of room using the 550 on the left side.

[@romanlang5852]

@@gnutzguy thanks for the help! 😊

Very nice, any luck doing this on an underfolder ak?

[@gnutzguy]

you would do it the same way for AK underfolder.

Paracord or 550 cord is rated min. 550 lbs breaking strength , diameter is 5/32" or 4mm.
