We do, but you must be a contributor to post a WTS in it. OK, I screwed up. Thanks, jcs44

The sight tool for SKS works fine and they're cheap. Check Ebay.

I bought one of these from Classic Arms. I really like the look of the thumb hole stock. I'm not sure the longer barrel is any more accurate, but it looks better on this model. It's a great shooter and the trigger does not seem to have the slap issues of the basic Saigas. jcs44

Get yourself a front sight adjustment tool. I have one for an SKS and it works fine. You can find them pretty cheap on ebay.

Thanks for all the input. I think I'll leave as it is as many have stated. I'm not sure I really know what trigger slap is, but I have not noticed anything uncomfortable with this trigger set up. Thanks, jcs44

I have the Saiga M model 7.62) which is the one with the longer barrel and the all wood thumbhole stock. Has anyone done a conversion on this one? If so, can you please describe your process and the products used? This model already has the FCG in the foward position, up against the mag. Thanks, jcs44

You might try looking at AuctionArms.com and GunBroker.com. I've just seen x 39 there for $0.25/rd from some sellers. JCS44

Classic Arms has .223 and 7.62 in stock. Under $400 jcs44

I have a couple of Yugo SKS model 59/66. They're nice to shoot and the action is quite similar to the AK/Saiga. You can get a nice one with matching numbers and pretty much unused for around $200. Try Classic Arms or AIM. If you want a cheap bolt action, you can pick up a nice Russian Mosin Nagant 91/30 for under a hundred bucks in 7.62 x 54. A better choice is the Model 91/59 with a shorter barrel for around $150. x 54 ammo is plentiful. The better ones come from the Tula arsenal. jcs44

Does anyone know which Tapco FCG is correct for the Saiga M? Thanks, jcs44

Saiga M with wood thumbhole stock has the trigger forward from the factory. Is there any benefit to replacing the stock FCG? jcs44

Yes, I have one in 7.62. Bought it because I was not looking to convert and I liked the wood stock and longer barrel. It's pretty nice to shoot although it hasn't been out that much. I've got a MOJO rear that's not yet installed. The trigger didn't seem all that bad, but I'm wondering if a Tapco FCG would be that much better. JCS44

RAAC may just replace it for you. Send them an email.

Classic Arms has Saiga .308's and 12 g. in stock for $549 and $599. I bought my 7.62 Saiga M from them and they're good people. JCS44
