I recently purchased a May 2006 production Saiga .308 and converted it to a pistol grip configuration. The postings on this forum were of great benefit, but many were not specific to a .308 conversation. Since this forum reads like one of the Dead Sea Scrolls , I thought I would share this experience with others who are considering such a project. It is not my intent to duplicate the good work done by others or to make this an all inclusive "how to". Just the differences I encountered.
First my observations about the Saiga firearms; typical Eastern Block materials, finish and workmanship.
