Thank's Saiganov_raz. I confess I've only shot mine under idealncohditions and hadn't considered adverse conditions.

The one in Owatona has them for a little more but stilla very good deal. The guy behind the counter looked at me kinda strange when I told him these were the best AK magazines. He said they have a hard time selling them. Go figure!

l know this is an old thread but it is a good question. I use the Hogue on my Saiga, a Ergo on my AR. I like the Ergo better than the Magpul but am curious to see the AK adaptation. Any word on a release date?

That's a really nice look. I've got an XD that needs a face lift. this might just be the ticket. Thanks for the post!

I've been using the Mako stock for awhile now and like it a lot. I'm 6' and find the length to be very comfortable and the cheek comb being adjustable is a nice plus too. I've found it to hold up well and would have no problems putting one on a future build. I'd say go for it. I agree with the other posts that you should shop around. I bought mine from Brownells.com for $99.00 at the time. Amazon now has them for 112.87 so not bad. Check the link below... http://www.amazon.co...5&keywords=mako

Ok, here's my first build. Not sure what stock to use so I include both.

I read this twice because it rings so true... What must be overcome: The 12ga round in an AKM is like cramming a 350 into an S10 engine bay...it can be done, but it's shoe-horned in there. The magazine well (read cutout) is maxed out from side to side, therefore, there is a limited tolerance for the magazine. There are two solutions, but only one answer. You could make it out of steel. But with the much smaller magazines of other caliber AKMs being a testament, the weight of such a large magazine would surely bring cries of agony from the less-than physically fit. The other solution is

Finally got to get it out and shoot it this weekend. I liked the way the Mako feels. Right on Mr. BlahX3!

Thanks Jetmatch. I'm using the JT spring. Do you recommend going back to the original spring?

Help! I finally got a chance to get my 7.62 conversion out to the range and found that when I pull the trigger the first round will fire but not a second. to remedy this I need to move the trigger forward and then the next round will fire. I'm sure I mst have missed something but everything seemed to dry fire OK. Hoping somebody can help me get this. The trigger is a Tapco G2 that was modified by Tromex. For the record, I'm sure the issue is my install and not Tapco or Tromex so please hold off on the hate mail LOL. Thanks for your help and ideas everyone.

Thanks for the input. I get reliable and the need for a removable floor plate. As molds are my background and not dies I'll probably stick with plastic. What do you guys think about going with a glass reinforcement? It would still be light but pretty durable. I'll look deeper into the circle ten as some of you really seem to like it. Anybody have any feelings one way or the other on emulating a Magpul with the little finger hold on the bottom? That Teflon sure looks slick!

Hey Forum members, What functions would you like to see in the ultimate AK magazine? Are there things you see in AR magazines that you wish we could have in an AK? I'm a long time mold maker and would like to design and produce the very best AK magazine available. Thank's in advance your your input. Hopefully this will lead to a production run in the vendor area some day.

with two votes in it looks like old school classic looks are winning . I'm on the fence I appreciate the input.

Thanks VaiFanatic. I haven't checked Gunbroker in awhile. Do you think the Palm is that much better?

Thanks for the pics. This is a really clean look!

Nice grips. Wonder how they would look on my stainless TLE?

Hey Red Star, Thanks for the info. I went to the Kalinka website and really like what I saw. I'll be ordering a PK-A soon!

Thanks for the pics Salmonking. I think I'll be switching out my XS rear sight to the Meprolight soon after seeing these!

Hey Gang, New to the forum and just completed my first Saiga conversion (7.62). I like what I have on it but not sure if I like the Mako stock or if I should put the K-Var I originally bought back on. Let me know your opinions on this or any other items/What would you do differently?Thanks again for all the great information. Finished with... -Duracoat tactical black -Arsenal USA AK-74 style Compensator -Mako stock -Hogue grip and hand guards -XS tritium night sights -JTE Performance Power Hammer Spring -Shepherds hook -Tromex Tapco G2 trigger group -Tromex oversized bolt hand

Can you give us the website to order these? I'll get one and try it. Could be cool.

I'm new to the AK world and am just finishing my first conversion. Please share your opinions on your choices for the best night site. Thanks!0

Throw a wench and pushbar on and you'll be set!

Thanks for this post. I'm new to Aks and am just finishing up my first conversion and am glad to see a Russian red dot available.

Anybody have any thoughts on the Arsenal brake? I got one but haven't completed my build yet so haven't shot it.

I started with the SAW grip for my 7.62 but thought it looked cheap. I even shot it with Duracoat but sadly it then just looked painted and cheaper. I have a Hogue now and like it. I haven't seen the Palm up close but the way everybody raves I might try one on an upcoming 12 build if I can get wifey's permission. What is it about the palm you guys like so much?
