jasonwes 0 Posted November 2, 2003 Report Share Posted November 2, 2003 (edited) How do you guys that have the falcon ergo pistol grips on your rifle mount them to the saiga 7.62x39?? I am looking at getting a new stock and adding a pistol grip and am unsure whether or not I need a kit to add the grip. I would like to leave the gun as much stock as I can.

Silverfox 0 Posted November 2, 2003 Report Share Posted November 2, 2003 if your gun did not come with a pistol grip , just the monte carlo stock , then you will need to do a conversion , this is actually a conversion BACK to the reciever's original configuration , AK parts fit without having to do serious mods , all the important holes are in the right places , but you may need a little filing or trimming in spots for clearance , and you will end up with a couple extra holes in the reciever where the pivot pins for the FCG are now , they can be welded in or filled with rivets , pins , etc....there are a few companies that do the conversions , or you can do it yourself if you are confident in your mechanical abilities...this would involve installing a new fire controll group(hammer,trigger,disconnector), a trigger guard(unless you want to modify the original to fit), a stock , and a pistol grip... and to keep it legal you will have to be sure you have less than 10 foreign made 'ban' parts in your gun(you can find a list of these parts on several of the local forum threads , or just look up 'the Brady Bill')...RSA sells a kit for the conversion that includes US made fire controll group(3 parts), a gas piston (US made) , and a modified mag release lever(not nescessary for legality), unfortunately they dont include the complete trigger guard(K-Var has 'em)..you will then need a US built stock and pistol grip(popular places to check for these parts include K-Var , RSA , EAA , AK-USA , and Krebs custom guns..check around on the other forum threads , you will find alot of good sources there...Falcon ERGO grips are US made and i hear they fit well and are comfortable ( i also hear they smell funny..lol..)...if you happen to still have too many non-US made parts , fore-grips and muzzle devices are available ...best bet for ideas is to look into a couple of the sites i listed above , AK-USA and Krebs both do the conversions at their shops and 'spell out' what they do...if you are inclined to do the job youself(not very difficult with a little mechanical experience) RSA and K-Var are 2 popular parts suppliers...take a look on the main Saiga-12 site on the links page for a bunch of good addy's... good luck and happy hunting Quote Link to post Share on other sites
