Yeah, I got a TON of good stuff from this forum. I really should check in more.

Yep, I want to run a folder with a recoil pad. Not that I need it mind you but it does make the 200+ round range trips a bit more pleasant... It sounds like the 8.5 with the folding mechanism + the recoil pad is the way to go since I am fairly average in size and arm length... Thanks for the info! V.

I'm looking at adding an ace stock to my Saiga but I am not sure what length I need. Whats the best way to figure out which one I need? The standard saiga stock fits me well if that helps. Thanks in advance! V.

It is. I could go this route but I dont want to mess with the Federal SBR stamp. So I was really hoping to be able to end up with one very much like it but a full length barrel... The clamp on site would work but I see AK's from time to time with a true integrated fsgb. I'm not in a rush so I will keep digging. I appreciate the responses and ideas! V.

Thats not bad. I was basically trying to make one of these (see below) but with a full length barrel. I dont want to deal with the federal stamp. I would have to get some one to probably re-thread the barrel for me or not... Depending on how much it runs. The point is that I really want a FSGB... I know, its crazy... I just cant get over it... pic cutesy of Gardner on ar15.com

Ok, I am just not getting it... I really want a FSGB combo for my SGL21. So, checking out the K-Var site, I found this one... But I am not sure if it will work. What concerns me is the thread on the front for a MB. If I put it on, I will basically have a good six+ inches of barrel extending past it? If so, other then looking weird, any other issues with it? Can i just cut it off? Is there a better option? Thanks! V

I am going to end up hunting some javelinas this year and the AK looks like is going to be my best bet... So, I am looking for a co witness red dot that I can use on my arsenal sgl-21 with an Ultimak rail. Looking for something around $100 that would not be total junk... Any advice or experience? Anything I should avoid? Should I look in to a side mount for the red dot and keep it closer to the eye? Thanks! V

Any one have a line on one for less then $449 or is that the going rate these days? Thanks! V_in_d

I am going to see how they fit. It looks like I am going to end up with about a 1/4 inch gap and thats just not going to work for me. I think I will have to come up with some type of a ring to cover it. I just dont feel comfortable with that much gap for dirt and things to get in to the barrel. V.

Wow, that is some funky stuff... Ok, so i will fit it so I have the least amount of gap and no gasses shooting in my face... Thanks for that link! V.

Ok, I have a SGL21-61. I am trying to replace the gas block with a FSGB combo AND get a railed gas tube installed in one shot. So after removing the top handguard I saw that I have a spacing problem. It appears that the gas tube is too short and it will probably not even reach the new FSGB combo. Also, please note the crappy fit of the new railed gas tube to the new FSGB. This is starting to really frustrate me as both parts are suppose to work on this specific rifle. Any ideas? Any one else have this issue? Thanks! V.

Do I need to strip the original coating first? If so, got any advice? Thanks! V

I picked up a gas block front sight combo from KREBS (Really nice people to deal with) Its basically raw metal. So two questions: 1) What should I use as a finish on it to match the saiga black? 2) Should I apply the finish on the inside as well or just externally? Thanks! V.

Wow, thats kinda cool! As a last resort that might work. I would rather not mess with it my self... Im sure I would just screw it up. :-)

Good morning, Hoping some one here can help me... I am looking for a front sight gas block combo for my saiga. So two questions: 1) What kind do I need to get? I am not 100% sure if this is a drop in part or will require mods. 2) Does any one have a line on one or know some one that is willing to sell me one? Thanks in advance! V.

Hey everyone, I was curious if any one put one of these on their rifle? If so, how much if a pita was it? Any special tools required? Is there a better one that you would recommend? Any tips or tricks would be really appreciated. Thanks! V.

Finally got my rifle!!! I started ordering some parts for the conversion but one thing still eludes me... I did a few searches on the site but with the words "mag catch" most of the results returned ended up being for the trigger guard install... Not so good... So my question is as follows: How does one mod a saiga to accept standard AK mags? Thanks in advance! V.

really I just like the look. I am also hoping that it will not be very hard to make it work with the railed gas tube since its open on top. I'll see how that works out for me. I have to look at some picture threads to see if any one's done what I am trying to accomplish. Thanks! V,

Hello everyone, This is my first post on this forum so please be kind... I just ordered a new saiga 7.62x39 and I will be doing some sort of compliance conversion and personalizing it a bit so I am here for some help... I know that I will be adding a pistol grip, stock (not 100% sure on what kind I am going to go with it), g2 trigger group (hammer, trigger and disconnector). I think I will also want to replace the grip with a galil style grip and a railed gas tube. That should cover me but I wanted some one with more experience to confirm... I also understand that I should wait ti
