keeping the forend


Recommended Posts

I am going to convert my 223 Saiga like so many others here, but I want to keep the forend - how is that going to affect my 922 parts count? I am going to use a TAPCO FCG, and USA made butt and PG, but can I do it legally and keep the stock forend???

RS-PG keeps the for-end

I kept my stock Saiga fore end (I kind of like it ;>), even with a threaded muzzle - you might be able to substitute US-made magazine parts, if you need them for your compliance 'count down'...

You can thread the muzzle all you like if the rifle is US compliant, just make sure your muzzle attachment is US made or that you put a US piston in there to offset it while keeping the stock handguard.

 

My Saiga X39 has the factory handguard, K-var buttstock, SAW grip, and Polish synth mag that all match in texture. It's a really neat combination.

Well if you pop in the G2 that gives you 3 BATFE Browny points

 

The pistol grip gives you 1 BATFE Browny point

 

Add a NATO length US made Butt stock gives you 1 BATFE Browny point

 

add the bullet guide, sorry no BATFE Browny points

 

Add 1 Pro-Mag plastic mag that gives you 3 BATFE Browny points

 

 

That's 8 BATFE Browny points...

 

Keep the forend, that's one plan of mine...

 

The other involves the Galil adaptor with M16 mags and a cheezy home made stock, but hey, it will be made in the USA... even if a foreigner made it.. LOL

Three points is great - but do the 'Pro-Mag' mags actually function 100% reliably?

 

 

I'm thinking I'm gonna see if they do... they appear to be knockoffs of the Bulgarians.
