I recently converted the 22" from bullpup to standard PG config. I opted for the Tapco Double Hook (mainly cause my local guy had it in stock). The install went really smooth and all is well when I rack the slide and dry fire. however, under live fire, the hammer follows the bolt carrier upon cycling. It does NOT result in a slam fire or double tap, but none the less is dangerous and the gun is not resetting. I am sure this has been covered before, but I can't find anything this specific when I search. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Spoon

For sale, partial AKU-94 Bullpup kit. Includes everything except the original trigger wire and the buttstock. I have included the "buttstock" I fashioned during my trial conversion. All small parts are included. $125.00 shipped to lower 48. USPS MO or PayPal only. Thanks for lookin Spoon

Sorry I've been distracted for a while but I stopped by today and saw your responses. I do not have any springs on the front trigger, although I do have 2 small springs that came with the unit. The directopns made no mention thereof. The wire I am using is working fine. It is actually wire from a garage door install, so it is thick, but flexible and doesn't seem to be an issue. The trigger doesn't hang up during ry fire, only live fire... Honestly, as fun as thids exercise is, I am reconfiguring the gun back to full size with a collapsible stock. Too many things to go wron

I really hate to do this, but Friday on a long road trip a wheel bearing went out and destroyed the spindle as well. $1200.00 later plus a rental car and hotel = selling something. This is a 22" S-308 that has been converted to Bullpup configuration using the K-Var kit I purchased from a member here on the forum. The kit was missing the shoulder stock and the trigger wire. I fabricated a stock and trigger wire, which both work well. Price is $895.00 obo which includes an extra Tapco T6 collpasible stock in case you want to reconfugure it to PG . Includes one 8

In a word, NO! I had one on the 22" and it is too dfar bacl to reach afeter the conversion... Spoon

Finally made it to the range yesterday! Fired about 60 rounds through the Bullpup using 1982 stamped surplus ammo (the greenish/blueish box stuff...). Weather was cold for Alabama and the skies were overcast. A perfect day for shooting! Overall I am fired up. The FSB/FH combo worked very well, even though I dinged it a little (okay A LOT) during install. Recoil was reduced SIGNIFICANTLY enough that I don't think a rubber butt pad will be necessary. I must have canted the FSB a little because in order to get spot on, I had to run the front sight all the way left and the rear almost to

First, thanks for all the compliments, but really the praise belongs to the folks who have gone before me on this site. It's only thanks to ALL the info available on this site that I was even able to attempt this project. Believe it or not, I have not yet been able to fire the bullpup...IT"S KILLIN ME! My wife had surgery yesterday on her neck and the last few weeks leading up to the surgery have been too hectic to get out to therange or to the property we own. My hope is to get to the range this weekend . I am also looking for an old school SKS 1" rubber buttpad to add to the st

No range report yet, (due to the wife's upcoming neck surgery I've been busy getting ready and taking care of the little spoons!) but I did make a modification to the stock: Hopefully, I'll get to the range next weekend-depending on the recovery period for the wife's neck job. Spoon

Sweet, thanks. i thought it was a member here that built one, but just as well. I need some other parts from dinzag, so I'll get it there. Thanks, Spoon

Did I see a post where someonefabricated some type of retainer for the forend of the KVAR Bullpup kit for the .308? Any help would be appreciated. Spoon

So I found an old Romanian (I think) stock at the local gun store (the manager actually gave it to me). I butchered it to create this temporary buttstock: It choulders nice adn all, but I will definately get something metal fabricated asap. Good points: Free I was able to retain the cleaning kit storage area. Bad Points: It weighs too much It not exactly purty Hopefully, it will allow me to get to the range over this weekend an get a little range report in. Reloads are ajust a bit tight, but I actually t

i know how you fell. i felt the same way. But then I took the plunge and convereted my 16" to PG and later added a folder. It's a lot easier than you think, especially with all the wisdom available here and on you tube guiding your way. Just remeber to get a good look at the parts before you take them out to remind yourself what they looked like at the beginning. I even took a digital picture to refer to. I bought the Tapco folder just to see if I would like a folder on my 16". It was cheaper than any other option, but the quality was rather surprising. YMMV Spoon

I have owned FALs of various sorts and they have always been Battle Rifle Accurate (minute of bad guy), reliable and rugged. Mags are cheap(er) than Surefires and the gun is actually battle proven. The trigger leaves something to be desired (for me) but with a little spring replacement, you can improve the feel. You can tweek the gun nowadays with all the parts avaialble such as rails,etc., if you're into that sorta thing. Overall, I would say keep the FAL and save to purchase the SAIGA. That way you have both (as stated above). Spoon

Any information is going to be anecdotle at best, considering as stated above, the SAIGA 308 has not seen true combat. My anecdotle eveidence is hey are as reliable as any other gun I own, as O have ran both the 16" and 22" through tac rifle matches shooting 150-200 rounds per match without any hiccups, bumps or majpr malfs (other than operator error on sight alignment). Again, anecdotle at best and unless and until a country fields the weapon as a MBR, we'll never know. However, my gut says they are made by a grup taht has been building Aks for a long time and if anyone could do i

Just signed up and will be adding this to my website later today. Once I see it's gonna roll, I'll delete my PayPal account for good! Yee Haw! Spoon

Some people don't rely on their car to determine their self worth , but rather rely on them to get back and forth to their destination of choice. Personality or not, it's one hell of a ride. My 96 has the turbo and of course I run it like crazy, but it still gets 26 MPG average- ad I drive thru B'ham proper to get to work...

I love my 96 Outback Legacy Wagon. I bought it last year with 160+k and it runs better than most new American cars I've owned. AWD, responsive and even peppy with the 5 speed (even though it is a 4 banger). Wouldn't hesitate to own a Subaru...I am looking for an old Brat to turn into a farm truck. Changing the plugs are a real mother...

So funny you posted this. I was playing and dry firing last night and the wire stretched after a total of about 30 pulls. I had some stronger/stiffer wire here that I was able to fashion into a psuedo replacement...we'll see how it does. While I had it apart, I pulled the disconnector spring and clipped it and that solved the other problem I was having. Still haven't found a solution to the stock problem. When I bought the rifle, it had a TAPCO T-6 Stock on it and I don't want to destroy that, I'd rather sell it to someone who doesn't want to convert. I'd like to find somethin

+2 on the Appleseed training And nice job on the build.

No, I didn't get the buttstock or the trigger wire (which was okay with me, the 1/16" wire from HD is actually really smooth on dry firing). I bought the partial kit from Boba Debt after seeing his thread about building his own version for the S-12. I figured I could make one but I guess I should call K-Var and see if I could get a replacement. Thanksfor the idea. Spoon

Those are the sights that come with the kit. I am going to give them a try. I really love having the rear apeture/peep, but I am not to sure about the front post. Also, they are really high! Those pictures rea;y suck..It's am oold camera and I am not the greates phtog. Spoon

Bought a partial kit from a member here (thanks!). I had to fashion a trigger wire (I stole someone's idea about the 1/16" wire from Home Depot-wprks great), improvise a spring for the disconnector and really modify the pistol grip, but other than that-easy cheezy. I have one problem, the spring I fashioned for the disconnector isn't quite right and every time I cycle the action it locks the hammer all the way back. I am certain I can either cut that spring or just get a replacement and it will fix that. The trigger is pretty good, although I've only dry fired it, since I need to fas

Looking good. Can't wait to post pics of my .308...
