Buck shott 0 Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Hey everyone a few years ago I picked up a wood stocked 20" barreled Saiga .308 that was imported by a colorado company (before EAA imported them) When I bought it, it had a home hi-cap magazine conversion done to it. It was converted to use Thermold M14 magazines and I have since fitted it to use steel M14 magazines (though the thermolds still work fine) anyway its a fairly ugly conversion though it does function. I Have since picked up a like new saiga .308 20" barreled EAA in original configuration. What should I do with the Older rifle? It hasn't been converted to p-grip configuration. I was considering making it into a parts kits and cutting the reciever. Buck Shott Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IrishDevil 0 Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 (edited) Does it just need to be refinished or it has been physically messed up? I'd keep it personally. Edited March 4, 2007 by IrishDevil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Buck shott 0 Posted March 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Does it just need to be refinished or it has been physically messed up? I'd keep it personally. The reciever, barrel trunion and magazine catch have all been modified for the new magazines to fit and the job that was done was very ugly. But functional. The mags are a bit loose in the rifle but they work. I also don't much like the way the forend is attached on the wood stocked rifles, but the rear stock has a good feel to it. I wonder how much I could sell it for... I wouldn't mind trading it for a nice scope for my other saiga. Brother in Arms Quote Link to post Share on other sites
