    Its a lot of fun Think1st!

    Forgot to add... The rear stock is a simple laminated Romanian AK stock. Typical east-block, crude but effective. I stripped, sanded & refinished it. A laminated stock is really just a piece of plywood, so you can't sand it too much or it starts scuffing the next layer down. But, since it only cost $20 at Apex, I did a little woodcarving (another hobby) as well. The Greek Helmet & "Molon Labe" tab were carved in with my Dremel tool & then painted with copper metallic spay paint. The copper gives it a "bronze" look...

    Think1st, thanks for the compliments! I spent a fair bit of time with the wood working. 1) Muzzle Break on Amazon for $39 + 5.99 shipping. I know it says 2 screws, but mine came with 4 to hold it in place. Maybe they screwed up and sent me a more expensive version? Who knows? - link here: http://www.amazon.com/MDI-SAIGA-RIFLE-PORTING-SCREWS/dp/B00CTCGQR8/ref=pd_sim_sbs_sg_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=15N5K6BHWJPBSYJS1JE0 2) Handguard from Rhineland Arms in Texas - $35 - link here. They sell a "Saiga Scout Rifle" stock set in tiger maple and walnut. You can request an "unfinished" or

    How about a surplus SKS sling? I had one on my Saiga when it wore the Tapco stock...

    Inebriated, thanks for the feed back! I actually have a 91-30 & a 44 carbine as well. I only spent $20 on the Romanian stock & have my eyes pealed for something better. I'll look into the Tech-Sights, thanks!

    I keep mine as a "carbine" - rather than the full on AK conversion.

    I keep mine with a 28 round mag in. Nothing in the chamber. I too am a fan of racking the bolt when it's time to fight...

    Rhineland Arms in Texas makes wood "Scout Rifle" stocks in maple and walnut. I bought the walnut handguard for my Saiga. The rear stock was too expensive, so I bought a surplus Romanian AK stock from Apex Gun Parts and trimmed it to fit. Here is the link for Rhineland. http://www.troupsystems.com/saiga.htm

    Note: This is my first post on this forum. I’ve given this idea a lot of thought. Maybe I'm not the first to do this, but I thought I’d submit it to you guys to see what you think. – Bubba Zanetti, March 2014. “Saiga Defender” Concept in 7.62 x 39 I bought my Saiga 7.62 x 39 “Hunting Carbine” at a gun show three years ago. I’ll never forget my wife’s surprise when I brought it home: “What’s this box that says $349!??” That seemed like a lot of money to her, but I knew the Saiga was substantially undervalued. Unboxed, it looked plain and non-threatening, a kitten. But I knew it r
