AK308_in_AK99709 0 Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 A new .308 owner here. I am looking at buying an ACE 6-position collapsible folding stock with integrated pistol grip. Is this a parts count wash? Add a PG - need a US part...stock is US made - voila, everything is kopasetic???

nalioth 405 Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 No, you'll only get one countable part out of your two-US-part stock. The Saiga does not come with a pistol grip. so it just adds to the total number of parts to be counted. Only the buttstock replaces a foreign part for a +1 in the US made parts lineup.

b2673ad 0 Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Hello I think a good way to llok at it is this. 14 parts -Need to get to less than 10 If you add a pistol grip you parts count is now 15 & you need to get to less than 10. Add a flash suppressor you now have 16 parts & need to get to less than 10. So I added M-4 type stock, pistol grip, gas piston, flash suppressor. 4 parts 16 minus 4 equal 12. So to be legal I have to use a made in USA magazine. 3 parts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
b2673ad 0 Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Hello One other item for my Saiga I still have to install the Dinzag 2 part FCG for a non-converted 762 After I install those parts I can use any magzine I want. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AK308_in_AK99709 0 Posted June 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Okay...Kevin...this is what I mean about it being confusing. You stated: "I think a good way to llok at it is this. 14 parts -Need to get to less than 10 If you add a pistol grip you parts count is now 15 & you need to get to less than 10." So here you add a pistol grip and ADD one to the parts count. 14 + 1 = 15....I'm with ya !! "Add a flash suppressor you now have 16 parts & need to get to less than 10. So I added M-4 type stock(1), pistol grip(2), gas piston(3), flash suppressor(4). 4 parts"....I got it.....4 parts ADDED equals 4 parts! "16 minus 4 equal 12." WHAT THE HECK? You added the flash suppressor (+1) and the pistol grip (+1) so how do you SUBTRACT them here???? AK308_in_AK99709 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You added the flash suppressor (+1) and the pistol grip (+1) so how do you SUBTRACT them here???? You have sixteen countable 'parts' of which you subtract four US-made parts to give you twelve foreign parts remaining, and you have to get down to ten or less foreign parts to be legal.

b2673ad 0 Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 Hello Our Saiga's dont have flash suppressors or pistol grips. So when you add them they become part of (and increase) your countable parts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Have you installed the Dinzag FCG yet? If so, how does it compare to the original? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Etek 32 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 It's easy. No MORE than 10 NON-U.S. parts. Go count your non-U.S. parts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Have you installed the Dinzag FCG yet? If so, how does it compare to the original? hello I have not yet isntalled the Dinzag FC parts. Maybe in the next few weeks. Its a little hot here in SC to go to the range. Football season starts soon so that means fall is almost here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AK308_in_AK99709 0 Posted July 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Hey, Kevin: Is your 30 rd mag in .308 and if so where did you get it? I am sure I was able to find some last week onthe net, but now I can't find them? Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
b2673ad 0 Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Hello No the magazines are 762. I have the 30 round & the 47 round magazines for my Saiga. In fact I am only legal using these high capacity magazines because of the parts count. When I install the Dinzag parts I can use the Saiga 10 round magazines again.
