So happy that I converted

I am done with mine finally:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wonderfully done. I love all of it, especially the stock.

[davecustommade 3]

Here is the result of initially getting the collapsing stock and SAW grip for the NON-converted Saiga, . . . realizing [after a day at the range] that the original trigger design of the "Sporterized Saiga" pretty much sucked, . . . . then getting stuff from CSS to make a complete conversion. I struggled to get the bolt hold open spring into place. After that, it was sticking down too far to where I could feel it on my finger [while it was on the trigger], so I cut it down to where, when engaged, it is flush with the receiver. Of course, the G2 trigger is TONS better than what was on there from Russia [and I'm sure they cry each time they have to put one of those "sporterized" trigger systems in their rifle].

 

Thanks to those who nearly told me that I would be stupid to NOT convert it.

so you used the same grip that was supposed to connect to the collapsible stock? I don't want to buy another pg if i don't have to.

[davecustommade 3]

No. I absolutely had to buy another SAW grip that works with the converted Saiga. The other one didn't line up. I suppose if you are REAL good, you could dremel it to work, but it is probably better to just get a new one.

True. Less than 20 bucks. Perhaps you can get someone to buy it. I'm trying to sell both my unconverted collapsing stock and SAW grip right now.

 

Good luck to you!

[therealjarett 1]

Its an NcStar red/green reflex sight think it cost me 50 bucks. Bought it just to see how it looked and if I wanted to spend money on one that was more expensive later.

 

Be careful! I bought the same NcStar red/green dot sight and it blew up in my face when I tried using it on a .223 - the glass screen popped out into my face and broke, luckily I was wearing safety goggles.

 

I have heard people say NcStar is ok, NcStar is good or whatnot, but I have tried them myself and I have had bad experiences. They are made mostly for airsoft guns, or perhaps a .22LR.

 

7.62x39 is gonna kill that thing, let alone the thing won't even hold zero after firing one shot.

NcStar in my experience has been a piece of of Chinese junk.

[Moose7289 1]

Bought it shot 100 rnds through it, converted it and it shoots so much better and looks beautiful. Glad I found you guys couldnt have done it without you all ! Special shout out to Carolina Shooters Supply for the fair prices and to Dinzag for the awesome instructions

 

-Matt

Saiga 7.62 $455 with tax, conversion parts and magazines $202, doing the conversion and bragging to your friends about it ? PRICELESS

[Moose7289 1]

sorry for crappy pics taken with cell phone will add better ones later !

[cpltk2 6]

Finally finished.

 

Primary Arms red dot. Good reviews and it can withstand the recoil of the AK.

UTG Quad rail. Yeah not the best, and sits high, but I did grind down a decent chunk off so the top and bottom rails fit flush against each other with enough pressure to keep it from moving.

 

I did get the bullet-guide in to use AK mags, but with local DA in Long Island running a vendetta against gun-shop owners and owners of "Assault Weapons" I'll stick to using the 10 round mags.

Thank you!

 

Yes, it is a Tapco handguard and a Magpul AFG. It isn't traditional, but it is the less expensive way to go, and is quite functional.

[JustinW33 1]

Hey guys, I'm trying to find a more comfortable stock for my x39 (it's an SGL21) I'd like to keep a traditional look to the gun though. The Warsaw stock just isn't very comfortable on the shoulder.

Post a pic when you get it

[stnls1911 55]

Make sure you dremel the points down, they hurt!!!! The traction is very sufficient without them, I do not know why they were put on there.

[mrmagnum 0]

Well i took some time and got the conversion going. That is the t6 intrafuse stock but it's temorary until i get a regular t6.
