rickstcarr 0 Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 (edited) Lets say I buy the Tapco AK (US-Made) buttstock for my S-12, do I need to do any special cutting to make it fit into the receiver or is there anything else I should know about doing this? I've been a long time lurker, 2 or 3 time poster so I was just curious. I want to make this thing look pretty original.

nalioth 405 Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 It'll just screw in place, after you convert the shotty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No, you don't have to convert, but you will have a really really funny gripping style. The grip of the factory saiga is part of the monte carlo stock. The T6 has no such grip angle built in. All Saigas have stamped receivers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was just curious, I do not want to shell out 300 dollars to someone local I really do not have a history of knowing anything about for a basic compliance/pistol grip conversion on my Saiga. Plus I wanted to learn the ropes myself and I didn't want to see anything come out of left field while converting. Thanks for the info. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you live around Houston, Texas, you can come to my place and do it yourself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Navy87Guy 1 Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 You should be able to get the required parts for around $100. If you're ordering, check out JSE Surplus. They carry all the parts you will need (FG - $27, SAW pistol grip - $17, T6 stock - $45). They also have reasonable shipping and great customer service. You will need a couple of odds and ends - a pistol grip nut and some clips to hold the trigger and hammer pins in place. Check out nalioth's post in the Tech Section on how to use cotter pins to replace the wire retainer. You're right that doing it yourself is the best way to learn about your weapon. It's also very satisying when you finish! Jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
