Here's my Arsenal/Mime (no fighting please) 7.62x39 Russian Red Saiga convert "desk conversation piece" and weekend warrior...  

This project was actually finished around this time last year, but I thought it was time to finally put it up for the Izhmash/Saiga purist like myself out in the crowd.     While it's nothing s

I wanted the old school Romanian BFPU style. When I first put the Romanian wood on the saiga, the rifles finish looked to nice for the old furniture. So I thought I would age the saiga finish to make it older instead of refinishing the wood. Funny I made this rifle look future new with plastic tapco only to end up going back to the basics. Think I'm finally done now...

Got this from JGSales.com . Came as you see it for 520, with another 17 or so shipping. I figured that for that price it wasn't really worth it for me to risk messing up a perfectly good rifle, even if it's as easy as everyone says it is.

 

I checked their website the day I received it because I thought it was supposed to come with a poly mag. According to their website it wasn't, but I also discovered they'd raised the price up to $600. Pretty happy I pulled the trigger when I did :D

Thats...strangely intriguing. I like it...I think. You did the 'battlefield pickup' look pretty well. F-ing up a new gun on purpose still seems naughty, but you may have started a new trend in firearms...distressed reporoductions.

I put a bulgy 90 deg GB with a bayo lug, and also the front sight (which I had to file a bit to fit the bayo) from k-var (ak-333).

 

Now I just have to paint it and replace the trigger guard with a riveted AKM one once I get some riveting tools.

 

Also I will be adding a ironwood AKM style stock.

Almost done.

I just need to go shoot to confirm the FSB is good to go, and then drill/pin it to the barrel.

 

After that, just need to tighten up some of the cosmetics, and a refinish to cover the marks from the conversion.

 

Thanks to Cobra for the awesome custom G2 trigger work!

The Moe stock? not too much I think $60 from CSS?

I had to dremel a little "U" shape to fit the gen 1 TWS rail rear tang portion with the MOE stock.

Only reason I'm sticking with the Gen 1 TWS rail on this set up is they are getting hard to come by seeings how the new GEN 2 TWS rail is out (My Gen 2 is mounted on my Draco SBR)

The Gen 1 rail might be kind of like a collectors item in 5-10 years.. provided we can still own firearms by then. haha.

Right now tho its a mutt, w the tapco wood pictured, except for an intrafuse lower handguard, Magpul AFG and LaRue Tactical handstop as a thumb brake on left side. Will post a pic of that setup when I can, as well as a range report on using a thumb brake on an AK.

Plans are for an enhanced selector lever and an optic that will cowitness with irons. Possibly a tritium front post as well.

well, did some more work, and im finally done.

started off as this (not my pic, borrowing im_n2_vws)

post-39380-0-80781700-1332111642_thumb.jpg

 

became this:

and now its this:

WP_000760.jpg

WP_000762.jpg

WP_000758.jpg

found that the rear of the receiver was slightly twisted either from the factory or from carrier mashing issues when i was shooting 154gr soft points constantly, and why i had to zero it with the post all the way to the left or cant the rsb in order to get the front post center. fixed all that up, added the 100 series stock, got a saiga leaf sight engraved with the cyrillic P, 4, and 5, took an Akbuilder pg plate and reshaped it to a round-tab, and filed the uneveness of the front sight itself with jewelers files. its currently zeroed and dead on at 100 with the post in center, will finalize at 200 nexttime. but right now, i just need to sandblast and refinish again and done! :)

Ok, got a better pic, lost the Saiga mag and threw in one of the Russian surplus 30 rounders I got from AIM and took a few shots outside in natural light. I need to take my time and take some decent pics, I never take the time to set them up perfectly.
