CardBoardBoxProcessor 0 Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 (edited) Hello, I have a few questions about this: http://www.raacfirearms.com/Saiga_308v21.htm I am curious as to if i can take any AK furniture place do on it. It looks like it is pre-converted yes? how accurate is it? the barrel is chrome lined right? where can I get one in 21.8 inches? what is the avg price I should pay. Thanks! PS!!!! I jsut wanna know about a regular .308 not the v21 anymore. Read to bottom. my exact goal is a rifle like this. Maybe with a left side folding stock. (will those holes line up right?) if I get the parts form the place I found them. From euro though. so it is sketchy. First I need to buy a rifle. But I just bought an NHM-91 so it will be like 3 weeks. Edited October 15, 2008 by CardBoardBoxProcessor Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Toby Allen 0 Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 I got S308 21.8" from Gilbert Guns. You can call them and see if they have anymore in stock, they are great people to do business with. I paid about $490 for mine about 6 weeks ago. I'm still working/saving for getting the parts needed for the convert. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

netpackrat 566 Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Matt at Ironwood Designs may be able to make you a conversion stock that will fit the v.21 receiver. http://ironwooddesigns.com/ Attaching a picture of an AK I built, which is equipped with one of his stock sets.

cedricxerxes 0 Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Netpackrat, Which Set# is that in the picture? #1M? Did you finish it yourself? Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CardBoardBoxProcessor 0 Posted October 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 So like... are Saiga 308s easier to convert or what? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
netpackrat 566 Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Netpackrat, Which Set# is that in the picture? #1M? Did you finish it yourself? Thanks. I didn't order it by part number, I told him what I had and what I wanted, and he made the stock set. The rifle is built on an Armory USA (Global) receiver, with a front end from a Polish underfolder kit, a Romy stock tang, and the muzzle brake is from a Hungarian AMD-65. The wood is a special matched walnut set with a recoil pad instead of the steel butt plate, it might be NATO length but I don't remember, it's been a couple of years, and I don't have the rifle anymore, it was given as a gift to a family member. The finishing of the wood and the metal was done by Salbo Arms; I am probably going to have him do another rifle or two once I get them the way I want them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bayoupiper 738 Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 (edited) So like... are Saiga 308s easier to convert or what? Absolutely! Just search around right here in the .308 section and you will find a bunch of info on conversions and modifications. There are a couple of unique things about .308 Saigas but it is all here. First you need to decide which route you are going to take. What look are you going for? Something like this? Or this? Or like mine? Or, whatever you can dream up!

Bayoupiper 738 Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 First stop I'd make is Dinzag Arms' site. He's one of our vendors here and has the parts you are looking for. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
