mrapathy2000 0 Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 love the stock, what did you use to vent the handguards a mill? tried another vent job and botched it, with a drill press no less wish a US made thumbhole stock in that style was availible in that stock config though for converted. the dragunov is tempting from choate of coarse.

SaigaShooter 0 Posted October 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 I found the easiest way to vent the handguard was to use a dremel and a drill. First you figure out were you want your vents and mark all that off. Then take the Dremel and put a very small drill bit in it, use this to drill your pilot holes. I used a Dremel for the pilot holes because it is easier to be precise with than a big clunky drill. Now take a drill and widen the holes you made with the Dremel. Put a cutoff wheel in your Dremel, and connect the holes, sand the rough edges, and you're good to go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JWysenski762 0 Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Amazing stock! its difrent than i would have tried to make it, but i would have done a horable job with my idea. its simple but looks great! what are the dimentions? (do you have long arms? im 6 foot 3 and lean tward longer stocks) what kind of wood? is the disign comfortable? maybe you could post some stright side view pics? oh and how did you finish it? a crappy finish is waht usualy gives away a homemade stock, and that looks great! nice work man!

SaigaMan7.62 0 Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Nice job how did you make the stock? I need to make one with a warm pad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SaigaShooter 0 Posted October 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 (edited) The stock was manufactured from (i think) a piece of pine, (not sure how well that'll hold up) the stock is 14 1/2 inches long, 1 1/2 inches wide and is 7 1/4 inches high (bottom of PG to top of stock) Tht PG is 1 1/4" wide, and measures 3" from the bottom of the trigger to the top of the ummm, knob at the bottom. The stock was cut out with a jig saw (pain in the ass) and the edges were rounded over witha router. the stock was sanded to remove any texture from the grain, and then coated with a spray on truck bed liner. I'm about 5'9" so, not that tall. I find this stock to fit me perfectly. I made the stock as ling as I did because I have a low profile scope mount, and my long scope is set as far back on the rings as it can go, It nearly hits the rear sight. I'll be back with some side pics in a minute. Edited October 13, 2004 by SaigaShooter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunslinger308 0 Posted November 16, 2004 Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 good looking stock! did you router the edges? or just sand them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SaigaShooter 0 Posted November 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 Router. Works fast and easy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vjor 2 Posted November 16, 2004 Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 (edited) Nice stock, you really did a good job on the rifle and how it looks. Just one thing, I was expecting a blonde with bigggg bobbies and tiny bikini holding the rifle. Edited November 16, 2004 by vjor Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SaigaShooter 0 Posted November 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 Just one thing, I was expecting a blonde with bigggg bobbies and tiny bikini holding the rifle. I don't even have a girlfriend... much less a sexy model girlfried. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ak01q 0 Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 Which Harris bi-pod did you use? How is it attached? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SaigaShooter 0 Posted November 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 It's a knock off of the standard harris bipod. It's made by Shooter's Ridge. you also have to get a new front sling swivel, because the regular saiga mount is too wide, and the holes going through it are too small to attatch the bi-pod to. http://www.shootersridge.com/bi_pods.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
possenti 0 Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 Great work! I wish I could work with wood like that. Give me a good piece of wood and some of the highest-quality shop tools, and I'll reduce it to toothpicks without even trying! Now, if you're talking about metal, fiberglass and PVC, I do OK. Go figure... Those Shooter's Ridge bipods are a great deal - and identical to the Harris. My buddy's got one - at about half the price of my Harris. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ricardomagana 0 Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Which Harris Pod is that, the $40 version with the swivel mount or the one that is a little more for $70? I noticed that the swivel one is very loose, is that normal, and it's a harris one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
