theinvisibleheart 0 Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 (edited) I just saw a Russian imported side-folder and 1 rail forearm for Saiga at the weekend gunshow in Mesquite, Texas. The dealer told me that it was being imported by T-G Intl (or is it TN Guns). Website: http://www.tnguns.com/accessories.html LOP seemed quite short which I liked. I wonder how this compares to Tromix/ACE folder conversion. If it's a drop in, it would save quite a bit on gunsmith labor cost. --John Email: theinvisibleheart@gmail.com DFW,TX Edited August 14, 2006 by theinvisibleheart Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 It's not that easy. If you put that stock on a Saiga in the US you still have to meet the minimum number of US parts to comply with 922 r. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Would Tapco US made trigger pack be enough? --John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BattleRifleG3 16 Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 You would either have to convert the trigger group to fit an unconverted Saiga and still need more US parts, or convert the Saiga to p-grip after which you wouldn't be able to use that stock. Another question would be if that stock counts as two imported parts or one. If it only counts as one, you would need to replace the piston as well. If it counts as two, I don't see how you could replace enough US parts without a US magazine. I'm a huge fan of using conversion parts and compliance parts that are one and the same. Convert to p-grip, need a new FCG, might as well use a US made FCG, stock, and p-grip. That licks all your conversion parts AND compliance parts in one. With that setup you can still use a foreign handguard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BobAsh 582 Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 Personally, I think the bolt-on pistol grip/folding stock is ugly. The forend's not bad for a long barreled gun, good place for a light. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That would cover 3/16 parts (not 15, because the Saiga FCG has an extra part). You'd need my FCG and a US made mag (not available yet). For function, comfort, balance, and more, I'd recommend doing either the full conversion or keeping your Saiga with a classic stock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
