Which skeleton stock are you using?

They both look pretty straight in the pics of them I've seen of them on rifles. I also have wandered about the angle because I have a red/green dot scope on a side mount picatinny rail and I want to make sure it lines up with my scope.

This probably sounds like a stupid question but can I install a bullet guide in my saiga 7.62x39 rifle to use the cheaper AK mags without changing anything else. I'm happy with the trigger pull on my rifle as well as the trigger position. I already have a US made tri rail forend and I will soon have a US made buttstock. After that I'll be happy with my setup other than having to pay 40.00 for the surefire mags. Also if I do go with a bullet guide can I still use the surefire mags? I have 4 of them and would hate to have 160.00 in mags and not be able to use them.

Yea That looks just like the one I'll get if I go with the ACE except that my gun is not converted. If I can install a bullet guide to use cheaper ak mags I would like to do that. At this point I'm happy with the trigger the way it is. Is your stock a folder?

I'm considering putting a ACE skeleton stock on my saiga 7.62x39 rifle. Wanted to see If anyone else was using the stock . I've read their good quality but don't know anyone using one.

I am considering doing the conversion. I just really like the Saiga skeleton stock for me it's a perfect fit.Do you know if it is classified as 1 foreign part or 2?

I currently have the US made surefire forend and I'm using surefire 30rnd mags. Some say the skeleton stock counts as 1 part and with the forend and mags I have I'm compliant. Then I 've also been told the skeleton stock counts as 2 parts putting me 1 part over the 10 part limit. Both sides have said their info comes from atf letters. I have thought about the conversion so I would'nt have to buy 40.00 dollar mags. If I went with the T6 stock would'nt I still be compliant.

I'm thinking of changing from the saiga skeleton stock to the tapco t6 stock. I have the quick detach side mount on my rifle and a red/green dot scope. I wanted to see if anyone else had this setup and how well it does as far as eye to scope alignment. I would like to stick with the saiga skeleton stock because it works great with the cheekrest it has for using the scope but the more I look into whether or not it is considered a pistol grip to the atf and if it counts as 1 buttstock part or a pistol grip and a buttstock making it 2 parts the more confused I get. I seem to get different info o

I just wanted to get some opinions or experiences on what would be the best lube for my saiga rifle. Currently using CLP so far no problems just wanted to see what other people were using and how much and how often is needed. Thanks

I have a 1903 Springfield.It was given to me by my father inlaw before he passed away.

To be blunt: The Saiga skeleton stock counts as one part. No part is "compliant" or "non-compliant", it's the combination they're used in that makes the rifle compliant or non-compliant. Ok thanks for the answer. I understand that the combination of parts makes the rifle compliant or not. If the skeleton stock counts as 1 part then I have 10 foreign parts and 4 american on my gun making it compliant. My original concern was the stock counting as two parts making it not compliant. I had looked at putting the Tapco AR style stock on my rifle giving me one more american made part but wou

Well based on your quiz I think the Saiga stock would be compliant. Do you know if the saiga skeleton stock is one part or two?

I posted this in the 922R compliance section but got little response. I have a Saiga 7.62x39 rifle I put a Surefire tri-rail forend on it and I use Surefire 30 round mags. It has the Saiga skeleton stock on it that came on the gun. I have read alot of conflicting info as far as compliance goes. I thought that the saiga rifle from the factory had 14 Russian parts and the american made forend and mags I'm using gave me 4 american parts and 10 russian parts making it compliant. But lately I've read that the skeleton stock counts as 2 parts and is considered a pistol grip. Is the rifle compliant o

My XD does that too, but I've just been ignoring it since I don't usually eject full mags. I wonder what Glock did to fix yours. They replaced the part and returned the bad one with the gun. The glock armorer that looked at mine and told me to send it back to glock also has a 21sf. He took his mag release out to compare it to mine and said his was made different than mine and had never stuck. His had more of a bend in the flat metal piece that pushes against the mag. I got my 21sf not long after they hit the market and he had just bought his a couple of months before he looked at mine. I h

Yea I like my 21SF except for the right side of the ambi mag release digging into my hand. Other than that it fits my hand well. Have you ever had any problem with the mag release sticking to one side or the other especially when releasing a loaded mag. Mine started sticking and was very hard to release a full mag. It would stick to one side and would not lock another mag in place until you pushed it back to the center. I called glock and they told me to send it to them that it should not be doing this. I sent it back and in 3 weeks I had it back and the release has worked fine since. The gloc

I forgot to mention that my rifle came with the dragonov style saiga stock is this considered a pistol grip?

Can you chamber a round in a glock using one hand while injured and under fire? And does the fact that it was cheaper than a glock when the ones imported to america were still called a HS2000 make it a bad choice for self defense. All the dealers I see and talk to sell all XD models about 50.00 less than the glocks.

The more I read about 922R the less I understand it.Everyone I have talked to seems to have a different take on it. I wanted to ask the forum and get opinions from people who have converted their saiga rifles to make them compliant.I have a Saiga 7.62X39 rifle I use American made Surefire 30 round mags and I put a American made Surefire Tri-rail forend on it. The way I understand it I now have 10 russian parts and 4 american parts on the rifle. Am I compliant?

I agree with you for the most part.The XD is not as proven or time tested as the Glock.The popularity of handguns has grown alot over the past 10-12 years due to more states allowing concealed carry and the huge selection of quality handguns today. The glock pistol has proven to be reliable worldwide in all climates and applications.As far as reliability goes I think the glock is hard to beat. Thats why my concealed carry pistol is the Glock23. All brands of handguns are marketed heavely today. I subscribe to Combat Handguns and each month on the iside of the cover there is a glock ad . They a

I have a Leapers Swatforce red/green dot on my saiga 7.62x39. Its on a aluminum quick detachable side mount. I zeroed it in very easily and the rifle is very accurate using it. 49.99 So far so good.

I just thought the grip on the one I looked at had a cheap feel compared to my glock and XD and the backstrap was loose. Just an observation nothing against the FN I know its a excellent gun.

I agree. I looked at it when I was checking out the different .45's. I'm not knocking your gun but it seemed like a very well made gun with a cheap grip on it. The replaceable backstraps seemed a little loose. Again I believe its just as good reliabilty wise as the glock or XD. All the test reports I've read have been good. How long have you had it? Have you shot it very much? Do you like the grip?

Which model do you have? Tactical version, 5" barrel with a 13rd clip Thats the one I would get if I went with the XD. It's comparable in size to the golck21SF but with a better grip.

I think people that are concerned about the glocks safety are thinking of them like a cocked single action pistol. I personally feel the Glock is no more dangerous to carry than a double action revolver. If you pull the trigger on a loaded double action revolver it goes bang but most people don't worry about them if they are not cocked. The glock is not cocked sitting in a purse or holster. Don't pull the trigger and it will be ok. If Plaxico would have pulled a J-frame revolver out of his pants by the trigger he probably would have got the same result. In his case you have a person who can b

Yea I've seen the video too and its wild him making those hits at that distance with any pistol. I have a Glock 23 and I love it. Its light, good for carry and has little or no muzzle rise when shooting which helps with second shots. I'd highly recommend it to anyone.
