biffjr 12 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Just finished my 7.62 Saiga conversion, couldn't find any gas blocks or front site blocks so I used a FSB/GB combo that I had and went for the AK104 look, just need a muzzle device to cover the exposed barrel.

Nev 2 Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 Here's my Saiga 7.62x39 today. No different than when I got it 20 years ago, same strap and all. I may be ready for some upgrades, but I've been totally happy with it, not a single issue ever. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

saiganov_raz 11 Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Figured I'd update you guys on my gun progress. It's now got a PAM3M optic on it. Btw I love and highly recommend this optic. Unbelievable clarity and over-all quality for a measly $108. There are even quality optics for less. I believe there's a 70$ choice that takes cr2032 battery. This one differs in that it uses a cr2 battery providing 800 hours of life and it has 4 reticals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's very similar to mine, what handguard is that? I just have to thread my barrel and install the flash hider then ill post pics. I have a Magpul CTR stock, MD Arms pistol grip, US Palm mag, TWS Dogleg gen 2, no factory sights but either Magpul MBUS or Troy Battle sights (not sure yet), Chaos quad rail, and an optic i like very mucha Leupold Prismatic.

I believe it's a utg quad rail but am not sure as I bought it used with nothing but the quad rail. Not even the screws were included! But people have told me it looks like the utg. But as I have nothing to compare it to I can't be certain. Basically your guess is as good as mine. But I have been telling people it's utg just to avoid trying to figure it out. Lol. Can't wait to see your setup. Post soon. As far as which irons to go with the functionality of the magpie MBUS sights and the Troy bus sights are identical. Just magpuls are their super plastic and Troy uses metal. Slight weight difference but nothing substantial. Take a look into "primary arms" for an optic. They have tons of choices and they're durable and affordable. I LOVE mine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dubya 198 Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 (edited) Okay i put some old parts on the AK i was working on and sold it to my brother because i picked up a brand new dimpled Saiga 7.62 on Friday for $419 Starting from the back: *Magpul CTR stock & CSS internal block & stock parts *MD Arms Molot pistol grip *TWS Dogleg Gen 2 dust cover *Tromix charging handle *Tapco G2 FCG (all internals polished) *CSS angled trigger guard *CSS bullet guide *US Palm mag *Chaos quad rail *Phantom flash hider *Leupold Prismatic optic I hace a TWS rear peep sight on the way that works perfect with the factory front sight. I might still go with BUIS but that'd mean a new gas tube, and Ultimak gas tube rail. I like my set up as is for now! What you guys think?? ETA: my brother is a supervisor at a commercial metal paint shop and will do a professional ceramic paint job in any of 128 colors i want for free I may also order an internal AR stock adapter from Mississippi Auto Arms to clean up the rear a bit and make it look a bit better but that involves replacing the rear trunion. Maybe next winter. For now i have my first S12 on the way. Edited March 8, 2013 by dubya Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You talking about the handguard in the pic above your post? That's a Kvar and i think CSS sells them. You need a handguard retainer and a AK74 gas tube to use it.

tchick 52 Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Added an M4 commercial tube adapter from CSS with a Magpul MOE stock. Scope is a Leupold VRX-Hog. Right now I have it on a side scope mount but may upgrade to the TWS rail cover. I may also change out the front hand guard later on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
