Homemade Wood Stock & Pistol Grip --considering classic AK47
#1

Just first want to thank all of you for providing such great information based on your experiences here.
I am new to the Saiga 7.62.
I want to do the basic conversion and then I am considering doing the stock and pistol grip in wood for the classic AK look.
Oh... And even the hand guard / forend.
Couple of questions though...
#1 If the wood stock, wood pistol grip/ guards are HOMEMADE, can it count toward my US (922r) part count?
#2 Opinions if you think this is a worthwhile venture?
#3 Besides moving the trigger group? Would I need a gas piston and the forward hand guard clamps?
Please help with any info you can provide.
I really love the classic AK wood look and prefer this over polymenr if at all possible,
Thanks

Handguards are a BIG PAIN to make!

Maybe I will just stick with polymer stuff.

I find the best way for me to make the stuff is to take it slow, and when I'm sick of working on it, I set it a side. If you want traditional AK styled stuff buy the polymer parts so you'll have reference material for making the wood parts. You'll also not have the frustration of not being able to shoot you're rifle because you don't have the parts made yet.
Don't have too high of expectations at first. (I'm still far from perfect) Wood projects I work on don't always come out like a carbon copy of what I envisioned, but I'm getting better.

I think that one of our members was offering custom wood for the Saiga, was it Battlerifle G3?
