Entrefal 0 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 Couldn't leave it like it was... It had the Tapco stock with pistolgrip, but the trigger pull was horrible with that setup, the trigger wanted to rotate up while your new hand position wanted to pull it back.. Ripped into it as soon as I got home and got it converted. My parts count is OK as long as I use Surefire mags.. I'll be adding a different stock soon, and a different hand guard. I just modified this hand guard so it looked a bit different I still want to move the front sight, and thread the barrel Anyway, here's a before and after.. Yesterday and today Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DL762AP 0 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 That looks great! I wouldn't mind getting the .308. Your's looks very nice. How long did your conversion take? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Longer than it should have I had a heck of a time figuring out how to get the bolt hold open back in place and working after taking the trigger out and trimming it a few times (it was a double hook, so I had to remove one hook, and remove a hair off the front center) I also made a new trigger guard from scratch, but it probably took about 1.5-2 hours Should have been about half that time, but now I know how the BHO goes in and the trick to getting the spring in there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JoeKan 0 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 Nice. What kind of hand rail and scope mount is that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nitrousnoel 0 Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 (edited) Nice. What kind of hand rail and scope mount is that? Its a UTG low profile side mount. CDNN investments has them for under $30. There is two models quick release and the one that attaches with 3 allen screws. It works great. Now the hand rail is a stock just modified.

TR Young 175 Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Looks really good! It's really amazing what moving the FCG forward to it's intended position and adding a good pistol grip does for these Saigas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
elvis christ 451 Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 (edited) How well do you think the optics will line up with that stock? ie do you think you'll be able to see through the scope well with the stock? I'm about to start my .308 conversion, as soon as I decide between a kVar or tapco fixed stock set, or a choate skeleton stock. I'm wondering if my POSP will line up alright with the fixed stock like you got there. Nice work, btw. I'm really digging that handguard. It looks great.
