  2. KickLite Stock with forward based trigger

    consider a recoil pad or lighter round if the shoulder really is that bad

    My shoulder is usable, but I just don't want to tempt fate and re-injure it.  It's taken almost a year to recover from the surgery.  The Phoneix Kicklite gets good reviews, but I just didn't know how well it was configured for use on the 7.62x39 with the trigger conversion.

    Since you are already planning on doing a full back end conversion it would probably work and look best with a regular ak stock of your choice with separate pistol grip. Taking a 'soft conversion' stock/pistol grip combo and chopping it up to try to make it work after moving your trigger forward would be way more headache than just picking up a stock meant for an aks ass end. Lol.

    There is a version of the stock without the integral grip.  So I'm thinking that stock, a good grip and a moved trigger group.

    Just got my Saiga 7.62x39 two days ago and trying to plan my conversion.  I would like to get the Phoenix Kicklite stock and add a grip and G2 trigger set.  I have a repaired shoulder that I'd like to minimize the recoil impact on.  

     

    So I keep seeing the Kicklite stock with an included grip that uses the back placed trigger group (stock).  Can I just get the Kicklite stock, a G2 trigger kit and a grip to make a conversion that moves the trigger forward and adds a grip (where the stock trigger is)?  Gotta start somewhere.

     

    Thanks ... be gentle .... I'm new at this.

    Thanks for the insights guys.  Is Yugo mil-surp even available?  I haven't been looking long, but in that time I've never seen it.  I assume that is different than Red Army surplus.  Tula does seem to be readily available, usually in the .23 to .25 per shot range.  SGA has been the only place I've seen carrying GT.

     

    So, I have BB, GT and Hornady but wanted to lay in a "small" supply bulk for range shooting.

    I keep reading various opinions on ammo types for ARs, but not too much specifically to the Saiga 7.62x39.  In general, I hear that the Gold Tiger is the better performing, Silver Bear next (and a bit cleaner), followed by Brown Bear (also not too bad but can be messier).  Wolf and Tula seem to follow behind in performance and consistency.  Hornady SST seems to be thought of as a good hunting round.

     

    I know ... lots of different opinions, but want to hear what most people are using in their Saiga's.

     

    Next question: FMJ, HP, polymer tip, etc ....???

     

    FWIW, I have GT, BB and Hornady SST on the way.

     

    Thoughts?

  8. Noob ... Where are the Saiga 39s?

    So I can "own" and "use" 30-rnd magazines that I got before the law.  Retailers just can't sell to Colorado residents. Sherrifs have stated that there is no way to enforce such a law. Gotta love the progressive agenda !!!

     

    "Although the sale of high-capacity clips became illegal on Monday, the law is not retroactive and older magazines can still be used if they’ve been already been purchased."

     

    "Grandfather Clause. A person may possess a large-capacity magazine if he or she (1) owns the magazine on July 1, 2013 and (2) maintains continuous possession of the magazine. If a person asserts the grandfather provision as a defense against an alleged violation of the law, the prosecution has the burden of proof to refute the assertion."

    grabagun.....looks like 2 left

    Didn't see this until 2:00 am this morning, put the last one in my cart, filled out the FFL email ... then started looking at VEPR's ... you know ... just in case.  Then my internet connection (satellite) totally crapped out and I could not get reconnected.  Finally got back to my cart this evening ... and the last one was gone.  DOH!
