chupacabrah 0 Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 If any of you guys have pictures, i'd be glad to see them. I am thinking of getting this (romanian) wood set: has anyone else used this? I'll also probably be getting a black tapco SAW PG. if not that wood set, i'll get the tapco fixed standard type stock (black). and black polymer hand guards what do you guys think? would the Romanian G stuff look goofy? would it put me -1 US part? I could do a gas piston, I guess. let me know what you think, and of course, pics are always great! jon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
taurussvt 0 Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 I really like wood furniture myself but would never put a Romy set on my gun with that forward grip. Number one, it wouldn't be legal where I live, and number two, I just hate the way the thing looks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Number one, it wouldn't be legal where I live, and number two, I just hate the way the thing looks. yeah i'm wondering if it would look crappy. i could always cut the verticle part off and sand/stain it to match and have an inexpensive wooden furniture set Quote Link to post Share on other sites
22_Shooter 1,560 Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 I just hate the way the thing looks. +1! I could never get used to the way those things look. But to each his own. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sicktooth 8 Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 i would say if you want a Romy...get a Romy. you have a genuine Russian firearm man! i would recommend getting the NATO buttstock length too...the Warsaw lengths are just TOO DAMN SMALL! its like its meant for a little kid or a midget to shoot. i promise you'll be much happier with a polymer stock set!

I guess you guys are right.... it would probably be better to get some ironwood designs or something instead of romy furniture. US parts and i could custom do the color. plus its new. this is my first saiga, so i will prob do the poly furniture in black....like you said, kinda hard to go wrong.

micah360 6 Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 try to find a Russian set... they're out there! http://www.theakforum.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=54978 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The-Beast 0 Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Im a sucker for the UTG 478 Quadrail set, since thus far it's got good reviews(so far works good with a stock gas tube, according to the post in a below thread). And looks good, that is if your going for a tactical look, and the price? 67.44 shipped from AIM surplus.... i can't wait to install it and turn some heads at the range with it...like i need to answer anymore questions ( every time i go, everyone asks me " what is that?")

Maniac Jack 2 Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 I know Tantal has Russian stock sets, http://tantal.kalashnikov.guns.ru/ but I'm not sure how much they are. I've got a Romainian G kit build with that funky foregrip on it. To tell you the truth, its kind of a love/hate relationship. I love it because it has a great gripping surface, but I hate it because I can't use 40 round mags with it. Also, it is uglier than hell Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But to each his own. Fellas, I thought the same thing before I held one. These'll make a lightbulb go on in your head beaming pleasant feelings out when you hold one of these. I've even added VFGs to some other Kalashnikovs I have. Think about it this way: The same stance you use while holding one of the VFG'd guns is the same basic stance they teach in any martial art. Coincidence? I don't think so. Remember, your enemy doens't give a SH** what it looks like. If you want something to look pretty for the wall, I suggest you rethink your objective. i would say if you want a Romy...get a Romy. you have a genuine Russian firearm man! i would recommend getting the NATO buttstock length too...the Warsaw lengths are just TOO DAMN SMALL! its like its meant for a little kid or a midget to shoot. i promise you'll be much happier with a polymer stock set! hmmm how long is the nato stock compared to the warsaw? The NATO length is 1" longer than the Warsaw pact length. Edited April 15, 2008 by nalioth Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No, I love VFG's.........just not the specific one in the OP . It has an odd look to it. Yeah, looks of a firearm shouldn't mean anything, but they do, and I know I'm not alone on that one.

ArcFault 4 Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Nalioth, what is that buttstock? It looks like a good compromise between a standard AK style and straight line. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nalioth 405 Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 (edited) Nalioth, what is that buttstock? It looks like a good compromise between a standard AK style and straight line. I somehow wheeled and dealed and ended up with a stock set from an .22 AK trainer. It wasn't a WASR .22 but some other model. It is 1/2" longer than Warsaw and 1/2" shorter than NATO. I've still got the pistol grip and the handguards to it, but they aren't US made, so I couldn't use them on the WASR Edited April 15, 2008 by nalioth Quote Link to post Share on other sites
