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

Yep, rattle can. Green is OD krylon, supposedly to camo anything and everything. Black is BBQ grill paint. I used the black for a primer too. I doubt it'll hold up to cleanings, but I had to paint the trigger area, so I went a little crazy. Maybe it'll hold up for a bit till I can get it coated properly.

 

I'm kinda proud of how I was able to break up the lines of the form, that's what I think camos main purpose being. Glad you like it. Thanks.

Very nice. How do you like the Texas weapons systems? What furniture you using

 

I really like the TWS TopRail. Its very solid.

I usually have a TRS25 RedDot installed that cowitness with my irons sights. It works very well.

@$180 its an expensive piece, but with the way it functions I have no regrets at all.

 

The wood is just surplus ak74 that I stripped clean & stained

Love the color of this stain. What was it?

Finished the conversion a few months back and just got the new Chaos rail installed.

 

Pretty much what mine looks like now. I really like the forearm from Chaos. How do you like the front grip? I was thinking of the same one.

 

I haven't gotten to spend much time shooting it yet, but so far I like the grip a lot better than the stock handguard. IMO, it also feels more natural than a vfg. Just FYI, it will cover both holes on the bottom if that makes any difference to you.

were you able to get that front "retainer" to stay on okay?

 

Yeah, I haven't had any issues with it. My barrel has the handguard notches, which really helps it lock in securely.

 

ah, that must make a big difference I'm sure. cool! I had to ditch mine for lack of wanting to "make it work." hehe

did you put the notch it needed for the crossbolt?

 

The Chaos retainer doesn't need a notch for the crossbolt because it doesn't have one. Here is a better picture of what it looks like.

I just finished my saiga 7.62x39 yesterday. The conversion was done with some spare parts i had laying around. The stock set and gas tube came from a friend of mine and the i had to order the bullet guide and hand guard retainer from CSS.
