worm1595 0 Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 (edited) Here is my almost completed Saiga .308. All she needs is some glass on top ! I'll have that taken care of in a few days. I did all the furniture work myself and I had all the custom machine work and refinishing done by a local AK wizard. I think the rifle has turned out quite nicely if I do say so myself. Enjoy Edited August 1, 2008 by Crazdgunman Quote Link to post Share on other sites

worm1595 0 Posted August 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Great looking piece! Is that a NoDak flash hider? I had that FH machined......custom made baby ! I am going to have a nice suede leather cover made for the cheek riser as well. I have spared no exspense on this rifle. I figured if I am going to be a "Bear"......might as well be a Grizzly !

DTakas 2 Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Nice. I really like the texturing on the furniture. What kind of scope will you be using? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

308SAIGA 55 Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 She looks good, I have a few questions please: Why is your receiver longer then mine, your PG fits on the receiver itself mine does not, see; And is that a sight/brake combo? does the brake thread on or is it attached to the sight.

Bayoupiper 738 Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Dude, In order to have yours look like that, you have to MOVE to fcg (trigger group) FORWARD to a NEW location! Look at all the info people have been giving you especially the vids! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
308SAIGA 55 Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Thanks Will, the replies where after I had posted asking, maybe someone should make a suggestion to sticky note they link to the conversion process under tech help.. Thanks again Will........ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alsingm 0 Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 Crazdgunman That's Excellent! I have been looking at all of the conversions here for the past several days and can't wait to get an S308 to start my own. I am looking into doing a conversion very similar to what you have there. I think the mechanical aspect of moving the FCG forward is a real "no brainer". If I can rebuild the drive line and transmission on my bike in less than a week I should be able to finish the trigger part of the conversion in a few evenings. Where is everyone getting the ventilated hand guards? Are you all making them yourselves? I have found all the other parts necessary to build a nice conversion but, I can't find a Saiga 308 to convert!! They seem real hard to get lately. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
