markshoreline 0 Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 (edited) I've decided to take on a winter project of converting my Saiga. I'd like to learn best outcomes of your projects, what works best for you, etc. I do have a preference for wood so understand that is a little bias and would expect to sand and stain. I'm willing to press-on, or clamp-on or whatever as long as I can purchase and do it myself? So, what would you recommend?

Vultite 57 Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 (edited) really man on something like this its personal preference, so i'd look through the converted pics thread and use that to help you decide what YOU like if you see it on the thread it works, hehehe, a ton of options are out there for your gun and just about all of them work.

BobAsh 582 Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 For me it would have to include the press-on two piece handguards for sure. Maybe in a Krink length. I like the black plastic or the red wood handguards best, and I would want a really nice set in either case. I don't care for optics on an AK. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jamesavery22 54 Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 For me it'd be close to an AK-105 but with the Bulgy 4 piece flash hider. Definitely an Ultimak gas tube. That poly lower HG that has three small pica rails. Everything else stock. That'd mean an SBR. Would also mean waiting for Izhmash to pump out 5.45 Saigas... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BobAsh 582 Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 I always get the stuff locally. Tulsa has a pretty big gunshow every month, and the world's largest twice a year. Maybe someone else can help with that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jailbait 2 Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 I always get the stuff locally. Tulsa has a pretty big gunshow every month, and the world's largest twice a year. Maybe someone else can help with that. ultimak upper and lower. jtac muzzle break. RSA adjustable trigger, RSA extended magazine release latch, ace internal adapter, ace pig nose adapter, vltor e-mod rifle stock w/matching buffer tube, rafaga Dog leg rail, kreb's enhanced safety latch all i'm missing is the rsa adjustable trigger, ace hardware, and the jtac.

sicktooth 8 Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Sift threw ALL the picture threads. Some options are not on the 7.62 Saigas, where as it could be on other calibers. That is the BEST advice anyone can give you around here, its all personal preference! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
