Just Finished it!

 

 

 

Combatcomm, where's the grip from?

[Shellshock1918 1]

Well, this is some pics of my 1st conversion for this thread. FINALLY went to my buddy's house in PA (FREE state) and took some pics with the MM mags he has on hand for the shoot since I did my conversion and cant have these mags in NJ . FULLY NFA / 922r compliant with 8 US parts content with Krinkov styled, NON-folding stock:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

About the only other thing I'd get is a flashlight mount. Possibly a Russian newer style hand guard. I don't want to go WAY deep into alot of what the AR (crappy gas impingement) guys do and turn it into a full bore grown up male barbie doll/Christmas tree.

 

 

What kind of mag clamp is that? Where did you get it? Is it metal or plastic? Does it work well?

[skifast 2]

Finally, I got one.

 

Unfolded

 

 

 

Folded

 

 

Now I am waiting for the ammo to sight it in and shoot it.

It's a Sure Fire Mags mag clamp. Works well with the Master Molder mags I keep in PA. They are loose unless you tighten them a bit without OVER tightening it. They fit right in-between the ribs on the MM mags nicely, so they don't slip. But they work REALLY well. I was quite surprised...

Here's my IZ-132, and she's basically done. Just a couple of mods and she'll be right about where I want her.

 

 

And here's the main reason I'm still using the 10-rd magazine; I broke my damn tap in the hole and haven't finished the job:

 

 

The only major problem I have is a gap between the buttstock and the back of the receiver. I should be able to fill the gap with some epoxy and a little paint work:

 

 

 

Here's the laundy list of parts for ya:

 

Tapco G2 FCG from Dinzag, with the hammer already relieved for the BHO lever,

K-Var Nato-length black buttstock from Dinzag,

Tapco SAW grip, black,

Retention plate for the FCG.

 

I sent my handguard to Devin for some sweet pimping, so it's gonna be different when I get it back. I'm also going to re-paint the serial number and some of the other lettering with white and red paint or china markers, either one. After I get the bullet guide fixed, I'll get some 30-rd Thermolds and shoot some new pics.

You can use a punch and shatter it.

[Blackjack_21 0]

Well, I didn't have to punch very hard. The broken piece just dropped right out. I just need to finish the job with a new tap and the screw will go right in.

Heres mine. Pretty much the only think i plan on doing to it, Its a hog gun, so i dont really have a need for anyhting else to it. I might buy another to play with.

 

Surefire Light with pressure switch, Side mounted. and a cheap bi pod. makes it nice getting in and out of the woods in the night time and doesnt weight too much to pack for a few miles....

 

 

Haha, I'm a hog hunter too. I actually just picked up a stock saiga 7.62x39 from a local shop for that very purpose, so I hope to soon suffer from an incurable "saigaddiction" (beautiful portmanteau, girmper. hope you don't mind if i use it)

 

How do you go about trackin the little f*ckers down? I've taken to puttin out soured corn in a few places to get 'em to drop by and then I do a little droppin' myself.

[usmc_mwroseberry 0]

Finally done......

 

 

[Kriegerwithin 0]

Heres mine.

 

Two questions....

 

A) How'd you get the cheek pad off? Mine is annoying the hell out of me.

 

Is that a regular AK mag?

[jrmock 7]

Well I took the plunge and converted my rifle this week. It took me about 6 or 7 hours but I would be a lot faster if I did it again.

 

I used:

ACE internal reciever block

ACE ultralight stock

ACE AK grip adapter

Hogue AR grip

Scout Scopes mount

2.5x NCStar pistol scope

Master Molder magazine

 

I'll try it out next week sometime.

[gtnichols 51]

Factory Fresh with a couple US parts added,..

I started lookin at saigas about a year ago. It took me until the summer to actually get one, and I just finished converting it yesterday... and man am I happy with it. The whole conversion wasn't bad at all, in fact the majority of the time was spent trying to get the forend shaped and cut correctly. I was a little nervous about installing the bullet guide, but I was incredibly cautions and it went off without a hitch.

 

Dinzag bullet guide

Tapgo PG and FCG

NcStar rail and UTG foregrip

ACE internal receiver block, folding stock mechanism, and pig nose adapter

CAR extension tube and Magpul MOE stock

 

Sorry for the terrible pictures, I just don't have access to a digital camera right now... I'll post some higher quality photos when I have the means to do so.

Hi everyone! I just joined the forum and read all 15 pages of this thread, so I felt compelled to make my first post here. I have a Saiga 7.62x39 with a 20" barrel. It's got the dimples and the "Y" and the only thing I can't stand is the buttstock (and the current 922r non-compliance). I'm nowhere near confident enough to undergo the full conversion so I've decided to take the barebones 922r compliance route.

 

The optional skeleton Saiga stock appeals to me as a functional alternative to the ugly/uncomfortable rifle stock. My example can be found within this quote:

Here's my new Saiga, I like the stock. Trying to decide what to do next.

http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd133/L...er/Saiga762.jpg

 

 

I saw one person say that this stock adds an additional foreign part to the gun because it counts as a buttstock and a PG. From what I understand, a PG alone is enough to put the gun out of compliance if this is true...but they sell them that way so that can't possibly be true. On another thread I read that this particular stock is overlooked because of its design, and keeps you no more or less "stock" than the ugly one.

 

If this is the case, I understand that switching to this stock will neither buy or cost me anything as far as 922r goes. My plan is to buy some Surefire U.S. made 30-rounders and replace the foregrip with a U.S. made one. This takes me down to 10 foreign parts which is sufficient, right?

 

I want minimal surgery and a unique look. I'm not too obsessed with trying to make it look authentic since it's got a 20" barrel, and like I said, I lack the confidence to do a full conversion.

 

Any words of reassurance about the legality of my proposed conversion?

[Kriegerwithin 0]

Here's mine.

The stock I have is used by alot of people here but it's just there until I can convert my Saiga. It's not 922R compliant yet, but I'm workin on it.

 

*Russian-American Armory skeleton stock

*ProMag 30rd polymer magazine (Does the mag counts as 3 points to the 922R or just 1?)

 

Sorry about my dog being in the way. He's a 4 month old Doberman named Thor (Celtic God of War). He likes to be involved in everything that's happening so this was the only picture where he wasn't blocking the rifle completely!

The magazine counts as three 922R compliant parts since it is 100% American made (Magazine body, floorplate, and follower). Good luck on the conversion (there is plenty of information on that around here). I also have a Doberman (except she is a year and a half and weighs 70+ pounds) that likes to get in the way, so I know how you feel!

Well, not to beat a dead-horse on this forum but making sure it is 922r compliant so that you can use that hi-cap mag would be a start.

 

Dinzag has a fire control group for non-converted rifles such as yours which will give you 2 US parts. Perhaps a gas piston swap can be done, you will have the third part and 922r will be solved.

For now, I'm just going to replace the handguard and maybe a clamp-on muzzle brake.

Yeah, I know. I posted it, and was like "Shit....." lol.

 

I was hoping no one would catch my mistake!

[Ryan14 0]

Here are two pictures of my 7.62x39. I modified it with a Tapco G2 trigger assembly, Tapco SAW pistol grip, Ace 6 position M4 style stock, and vented handguard. Thank you to everyone on the boards for helping me through the process.

[Rabidmonkey777 0]

This is my RAA saiga 7.62x39. I bought it just for fun while i was off in idaho working in the summer. I knew it would go bang even if i beat the piss out of it. It was perfect to throw it on my back and hike or target shoot. I put the tri rail mount on it and some cheap b-pod that worked great. It blasted a few varmit perfectly with the iron sights, and it was surprisingly accurate right out of the box! I was happy! its always nice to hit what you are pointing at. I also had a red dot mounted on it with a cheap rail from ctd. But i took that off cause it didnt prove very functional.

Yes sir. I am looking to get a new ergo grip and an adjustible stock on it cause the Tapco standard ak stock is to small.
