Ouch, so it looks to get a decent folding stock on my saiga, it will be like another $125? Well, hypothetically if I do swing that, is installation straight-forward. I was hearing about welds and cutting and I would prefer to not have to do that. Especially if I'm forking out $125. And DoBravery is right, I would definitely want a cheek weld. Also with the folding stocks, is the length the same as the Warsaw or nato stocks? So in a nutshell, it sounds like if I want a folding stock on my saiga it will cost about $130. Cheapers ones probably will not be as functionally nice an

So I'm now in a state where having a folding stock is legal, so I'm thinking about adding a side folding stock to my converted saiga. I saw an 8.5" ACE skeletonized stock on Carolina shooters for $65 but said it needed a folding tool. I really have no idea what it means by that. Most of the folding stocks that come all setup cost double that and way past my price range. How would I go about installing that ACE stock on my rifle so that it folds? Any recommendations on how to do this or install a good folding stock for not too much would be greatly appreciated!

I have both 20 and 30 round surefires. Neither ytpe has any wobble on my rifle. Personally I prefer the 20 rounders, they just dont get in the way as much. The surefires are good mags and I did end up throwing a bullet guide in my rifle. The fact that I moded one of my surefires to work with it says something about how I feel about the surefire mags. As far as the price difference goes....Its gonna cost them about the same about of money to have their molds made for any type of mag and the about of extra plastic in a 30 over a 20 is a matter of cents. I wouldnt worry about that. Ju

Thanks for the responses. As far as the bullet guide, maybe I'm just lazy or intimidated but I just steered clear. So I just thought surefire was the easiest since I only buy like 2 mags. So for the surefire mags, do the 20 round mags not have the side to side? Did anyone notice the 30 rounders not having good spring tension? It's just weird that I've found two sites now that sell the 20 rounders and the 30 rounders for the exact same price. Makes we wonder about the 30 rounders. . .

So I recently moved out of Cali to Washington state and so now I can finally have magazines that allow more than 10 rounds in my saiga(not to mention I don't need a mag lock anymore...) , so I was going to get either a 20 round or a 30 round surefire mag. On one site they are selling for pretty much the same price but I thought I remember folks saying the 30 rounders had a lot side-to-side wobble, even with dimpled saigas. But I couldn't find where I read that. Any experience? I was leaning towards 20 rounders but if the 30's are good to go, maybe just get those seeing as they are the same pri

Thanks for the replies. To be honest I'm not really high on going wood furniture unless I go completely AK. I thought about using the intrafuse handguard from tapco but I would put the rails on and it seemed like there would just be holes in the hand guard then. As for the UTG, the one I was looking at was the leapers tactical forearm and I think it is made for shotguns. Really all the forearms I like are for saiga 12. So no way to make handguards for the saiga 12 work for the saiga 223? Anybody else have any other suggestions?

So I got the sgmt tri-rail on my saiga and I'm not super jazzed about it. I really don't use the rails, so it feels a bit out of place. So I have been looking to get a different one and it seems like there aren't too many options. The ones that I like seem to be only for the saiga 12. In particular the Leapers tactical forearm or even just the stock saiga 12 forearm. Are these able to be put on the saiga 223 or no go? Any other suggestions? Just so you know what I'm thinking, I really don't like the look of the TAPCO tri-rail, the golani looking one, and the quad rail is just overkill. Seems l

Great, thanks. It should be arriving in a few days.

I literally just ordered that exact one last night. Maybe I should just wait until it arrives. So this would save me from narrowly bashing my hand when I use the punch to move out the windage drum? I'm hitting that punch pretty solidly, will that tool be able to put out enough strength to do the job? Edit: And just to ask again, does anybody know about the krebs peep sight being crooked? Thanks

Looking for some help to install these guys. I managed to get the krebs peep sight installed but once I installed it, it looks a bit slanted or angled when looking down topside of the rifle. It looks pretty snug in there and it seems to be following the same line as the original sight but looks a bit angled to one side. Nothing huge, but you can see it. Called Krebs and they said they would send me out a replacement sight but I was just seeing if this is common or even normal. I was going to re-install my factory rear sight to compare. Maybe I just never noticed because there aren't so many

Thanks guys for the help. I appreciate it. I think I'm going to go Grip pod and hope to get one at a good price on ebay. Apart from the swivel thing, the only negative I have heard consistently is that they are a bit too heavy and tall, especially for bench shooting. But I think I can live with that.

Greg, thanks again for the reply. That all helps a lot. So I'm pretty set on getting the grip-pod but came across this similar grip bipod from command arms international. It has a swivel on it and seems pretty similar to the grip pod. Do you know anything about these? Command Arms Grip

Thanks for the replies. So just to make sure I'm following all of this, the tri-rail I have may be a bit too far forward for a vertical grip, but having a vertical grip does help with shooting? I always thought a vertical grip would be helpful in control full-auto or needing a firm grip when swing the front around when clearing rooms or what not. But as far as for plinking, does it help at all with shooting or feel? And just to be sure, the grip pod doesn't swivel but is pretty sturdy. So does having a bi-pod that is able to swivel a big plus? And as far as looking at other bi-pods, how d

Not too bad. Are those both the same bipod product and do they allow the gun to swivel on top? And as far as having that front grip, do you guys like having it verses not when shooting it? I've never shot with one and I could see the benefits in a tactical situation, doing a room to room thing, but as far as shooting it at the range, is it an improvement? Sorry for so many questions, but also how do I know if a bipod or front grip is compatible with the sgm tri-rail that I have? Thanks guys

I was doing a little searching around on the forum to see what would be a good bipod to put on my newly converted saiga but the Harris's ones recommended are too pricey for me. Especially after the cost of the conversion, buying 3 surefire mags, getting a new hand guard, and getting the krebs peep sight and xs tritium front post. Adding another $100 wouldn't go over so well on the wifey. So what would be a good economic bipod that would get the job done and be a decent option? I have the sgm tactical tri-rail, so something that mounts to that would be nice so I could at least justify getting i
