dlcjr1973 24 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 The Evil Antelope Part II Nothing fancy, just a basic conversion. Will post more pics after FSB/brake upgrade. Regards, Sapper Here it is almost finished. (Still have to refinish the AK-74 FSB and muzzle brake.) Regards, Sapper Quote Link to post Share on other sites
n102788 6 Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 This is my saiga still deciding which handguards i like better. So i took a pic of both Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NocSniper 0 Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 mine for now, just got it few days ago..idk what plans are for it yet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paprotective 362 Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 (edited) Got bored again (rain and shit).. using a rest at the range for scope testing required the handguard to be 'flatish' on the bottom and the wood 'DONKEYGRIP' handguard I had on was taller than my rest. Anyone whom likes BLACK guns enjoy.. And yes I para-corded the Bulgy (simulated RGP industries) Stock myself and I did the reddish/brown with RID dye a few months back.

tsc91 9 Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 Here's a conversion I did for my brother. Intially I bought it for him as a gift, then I converted it for him because I couldn't stand seeing it unconverted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greenhorn21 7 Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Just finished... is that pistol grip as comfortable as it looks? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crsswift70 1 Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Just finished... is that pistol grip as comfortable as it looks? Very comfortable. Got it from CSS.. Actually, got all my parts from CSS Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paprotective 362 Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 I'm done.. After a year of playing with different things.. Keeping it simple and sturdy... Removed the cover/shield on the factory gas tube.. Replaced factory dust cover with Romanian ribbed type.. Painted both and baked abit (15 mins) with Rustoleum (textured) black paint was most close match thus far. Added the FIXED 4x30 scope and can do SMALL groups all day with it.. (have Bushnell Trophy RD sitting here on separate mount also for this) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RookieShooter 5 Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Here is my converted Arsenal SGL-10 with POSP 4x24 scope. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
emr454 1 Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 looks real nice ^^^ i like it Thanks! I converted it myself and have put a lot of time a money into it. In the end, it was worth it though. Eric the wood looks great im dong mine the exact same way, im almost done with my conversion all thats left is to install the handguard retainer and wait for the metal spring to come in that holds the upper handguard on the gas tube. is that a laminated stock you have? No, it's actually Ironwood Designs furniture. It's been so long since I bought it I can't remember what it is exactly, but I'm pretty sure I went for hard maple. After a few other finishes, I ended up using the Rit fabric dye method. I think it turned out ok though. Eric Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mossberg Man 1 Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 This is my conversion thus far. I reused the original trigger guard. I added a Tapco G2 single hook trigger group. The Tapco retaining plate, also I added a Hogue overmolded AK grip, and the internal receiver stock adapter. The stock adapter has a 3 degree variant to keep the stock inline with the barrel instead of angled down. I will be adding a DPH skeleton stock possible with a folding mechanism and many more goodies I will post as I update the rifle. Also I added a Dinzag Arms flat bullet guide so that I can use stock AK mags with just a slight modification. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KC913 324 Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 (edited) Crappy cell phone pics of my ongoing conversion progress. Just added the Surefire tri-rail, ram stg trigger guard and tapco vertical grip. Refinished the underside of the receiver with duplicolor matte black primer and low gloss engine enamel and let it sit for a week before reassembling everything. Still not sure what I want to do about the holes in the receiver. Considering welding them or just drilling the receiver block and threading it like the newer saiga ace blocks come... also going to add an ace folding mechanism, quick detach side mount and a flashlight mounted on the handguard rails... perhaps an ultimak gas tube later on. The Surefire tri-rail doesnt fit as snug as i'd like it to, especially for the price, but it's built very solid and it'll work for now... might add some kind of spacer between the barrel and grip to keep it snug... Been making changes to it little by little as money permits, but I think i'm happy with how it is right now, other than a scope. The vertical grip makes such a huge difference in how the rifle feels in your hands.. much more comfortable. I also plan on threading the barrel down at a friend's shop soon... I've got around 25 or so 30rd mags, but the cheap Master Molder was the closest one laying there when I took the pics. Better pics to come...

Mossberg Man 1 Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Check Carolina Shooters Supply they actually sell Saiga plugs they are just little plastic or rubber plugs that pop in and cover the holes in the receiver and I think they are just a few dollars for a handful or something like that.
