built it myself, shaped and formed my own gas tube HG retainers and modded the stock to work with the folding hardware

yeah, I'll take the other one too.

hey, yeah. No paypal no prob, I had similar shit with them, locking up my money for weeks... I'll take it at $115 shipped and will send you money order.

I'll take one

I'll gladly take it if nobody claims it at the listed price.

how can u favor a stinkin' ruger over this.... and same price range...

grabbed everything i could while i was in iraq, I even picked up the izzy plum bayo while the kits themselves were just a rumor... too bad money only allowed a krink kit and a plum 88 74.

no way thats gonna hold.... pin it, or weld it....

you can get this part from copes for $5... unless u wanna do what i did and do a full conversion, then It's deff worth the money....

wow.... i'm sorry man... mine was nowhere near that much work... the trunnion was oddball and i had at it... but thats it.

I wouldn't even consider removing anything from the front trunnion. It might make it difficult to run other kinds of mags. pretty good point.... trying to replace destroyed material is impossible...

trunnion. compare the saiga and bulgy mags side by side and you'll see a diff in the height of the area right behind the feed ramp but in front of the feed lips... the factory mag and the bulgy mag have a 1mm diff.... and this 1mm of extra material on the bulgy mags won't let the mag rock in..... compare the mag you're trying to fit with one that you haven't tried to use yet, you'll see where the pressure from the trunnion is marking your mag..... i shaved 1 mm off the bottom of my locking lugs and everything went smoothly.... i didn't shave too much, so the mags are still a tight fit, bu

how new is your rifle? it could be your trunnion, mine was doing the same thing....

on mine, I didn't need to grind down the locking tab at all, but the trunnion needs to be shaved under the locking lugs to make the circle 10 mags work, and after you install the bullet guide, the factory mag won't work, BUT its an easy fix to make it shaped just like the circle 10 mags you're putting in... then u have a 10rd for whatever.

i'm more of a classic kind of guy.... the top one looks cheasy and something you'll see only in america... the bottom is very much like a romanian ak74s..... cept the gas tube, its a lot more tasteful... plus its handy and makes a better truck gun with that stock...

russian rifle, russian wood, russian muzzle brake and russian optic.... shoots like a dream....

badass, now we know, thanks

go with the last choice for 25 bucks... you'll love it and its miles better than that tapco crap.

oh and try a pk-as optic, most love it, few don't... or if you need magnification, can't go wrong with a psop any whatever mag suits you best.

hey man, just good natured ribbing. don't worry, if you convert later on you'll be swapping the FSB anyways, and yes i've noticed the warp in the stock on one before. The front sight cant, well.... yeah it's dimpled in, no fixing without a lot of headache, thats actually the only one i'd bother with, but yeah. btw some dist have bulgy 74 wood stock sets for 25 bucks and they look great and clean up real well (see mine and a few others in the pic posts) grab a suplus handgaurd retainer surplus for 10-25 bucks and pop the pin out with a punch and slice the top part of it out, and then you'

so buy a russian parts kit and make you're own 545...

must be an AR guy, or somebody on a tight budget. its a mass produced weapon, trust me, it'll outshoot absolutely everything in its price range and then some.

:-) cool. Yeah, a lot can be done with a machine shop, custom fitting the parts pretty easy. was mainly refering to drop-in replacements and so forth. thanks for the clarification, your build must've been a long long time ago for it to be worth sleaving a chinese 84s barrel to a trunnion and so forth... nowadays just the chinese parts in question are worth twice a saiga 556... crazy times we live in.

just cut with hacksaw.... thats what i did to my first one and was happy

its the sheet metal shell thats a regulated Item on ak rifles, the trunnion is absolutely not a regulated item. it just cannot be removed from some rifles because IT carries the serial, again, this applies only to SOME rifles... and if the reciever shell becomes destroyed (cut up) then that number and trunnion are then free to roam the country as unregulated scrap metal for all anybody cares....
