OK... before I forget... anyone have a suggestion for how to get a good cheek weld when using the scope??? I have been using a rubber pad with the factory stocks... but I would like to see if there is something available that will attach to the collapsible stock. Checked it out and the position is perfect for using the iron sights... but no where near joyful with the scope. Suggestions???

I tried to call CSS but no one answered (I'm guessing they stay pretty busy). He did, however, have time to leave me a note on here, and I thank you for that sir. The retainer spring was missing, and the pins were all jacked up... got lucky and a buddy had an extra set in his shop... so I got it all squared away. Still gives me the willies that I ran through about 100 rounds in this rifle since I picked it up and there was nothing holding those pins in besides friction and dumb luck. That is the LAST time I fire a weapon that I haven't personally torn down and gone through. Thanks

Still need to figure out where to get the replacemnet pins and the locking wire... anybody have a good supplier for stock repair parts on these???

I have started a conversion on a 308. The plate came off no problem... Issue number 1 - the pins that were supposed to "push out with ease" had to be punched out with a pin punch. There was no wire holding them in (supposedly there is wire in the grooves... mine had none) and I didn't see anything holding them in other than friction. A few solid taps from a 1lbs ballpeen and a pin punch and they cam eout... but one of them is pretty chewed up (I'm guessing i wasn't the first person to remove these and thaat was why they wouldn't budge). I can't seem to find replacements for these pins

M14 kangaroo pouches work great... if you're ataching them to a molle load carrier (vest) you can just remove the bungees and tie them directly to the vest. I put my mags in top down so if I get rained on my mags don't fill with water. Pretty much anything that will carry an m14 (m1a) magazine should carry a 308 saiga mag. Just remember if it has a closed top that it will only hold a 10-15 round siaga mag... the 20+ round mags you'll either have to modify them or use the open top pouches like I do. I got mine on amazon for $25/pair (2 sinlge pouches) and they're holding up well. FWIW
