I've been waiting for a thread like this since I got my S-308 back from the shop. This conversion was done by the guys at Idaho Armament Company. I couldn't be happier with the fit and finish of the rifle; no rattle on the buttstock (not yet anyway) and the retaining piece for the lower handguard came out very well. The parts on labor on this one cost me just under $640. And yes, I am advertising for Idaho Armament Company -- not because I have any affiliation with them, but because they did a superb job.

The front sight is actually Bulgarian and not stock. I assume that is how they got the flash suppressor on it; I know they had to press the barrel off in order to build it. My lack of knowledge in this arena is one reason I didn't attempt the conversion myself.

 

The complete stock set (Tapco, yes) is for an AK. I think they did pretty much the same process that dinzag mentions doing in his thread on his rifle.

Please tell me more about this beautiful stock, what it is called, where it is sold, how easy it is to fit, and of course how much it costs!

 

I'll sit here, stare and salivate until I hear back from you.

 

It's a PRS-AR15 From Magpul. It requires an AR-15 buttstock adapter and an AR buffer tube. They were making one for AK's but it wasn't inline with the bore. You can order it straight from Magpul (I got mine next day) or from a few different etailers. I think the going retail rate is about $255.

 

Steep I guess but nevertheless. I was able to adjust it to a perfect fit for me with just the right amount of eye relief... and I have really long arms.

Currently working on a 16", going to G3 sights, ACE AR stock, Ergo grip, and a G2 FCG. Also adding a picatinny rail on the top cover for a Kobra.

No pics till it's done.

That's pretty sweet. Where'd you get the stock and grip? I was going to leave mine stock, but I've heard the call and now I'm shopping around for pg conversion parts :-)

I bought the stock from Blackjack Buffers and I don't remember where I bought that particular Tapco SAW p-grip, but they are available all over the place.

Here is my build. I have a seperate thread with more detailed info, but here is what I have:

Krebs quick detach scope mount/rear sight

SPOT red dot sight (to be replaced with a low-power variable scope-Trijicon TR-24 Accupoint, Meopta K-dot, Millet DMS-1)

Bulgarian/K-var side folder w/ exposed folder block (works extremely well with the Krebs scope mount)

Barrel threaded and shortened to 18" by King Armory-great work and good to work with

Dinzag trigger guard kit

Surefire old school barrel clamp for a Insight pistol light

Surefire 20rd mags

Red Star FCG (Vepr .308 model)

Krebs fcg retaining plate (worth every penny and more)
