Boba Debt 350 Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 I finally received a few pieces need to finish my rifle Now that it's fully assembled I am going to take it to the range this weekend for a test fire. If everything works out I'll strip it down and have the Duracoat finish applied Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Boba Debt 350 Posted August 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Very nice. Congratulations. Is that the quick mag release that some of spoken of here? How do you like it? Is it easy or is it awkward to actuate with the trigger finger? Thanks Yes, it is the Ram Speed quick release and it's very simple to use just wondering why did you remove the side optics mounts? I never planned to use it so why not remove it It makes the gun look cleaner and I like that it make my rifle a little different Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Azrial 1,091 Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Very ridged! I like it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
imarangemaster 315 Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Very cool. I am sure you will love it! When you get a saiga, and do the work to convert it yourself, there is a certain pride and intimate knowledge (no, not that way) of the weapon. I gives a feeling of personal investment in it. Aren't you glad you didn't get the bullpup AK on the other forum! BTW. I love the RAM mag catch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paprotective 362 Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Looks great and you put ALOT of work into it 'literally'. Be proud, it came out awesome. You did alot of extra work most of us don't by us going 'basic', while you researched and tried new ideas and ways to do it. For that here is a for you mr. saiga extrodinare...

Boba Debt 350 Posted August 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Wow, a bit surprised by the comments. Thanks for not tearing me a new a-hole Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Koliadko 207 Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 I told you the reaction from the forum would be different if you put up pics. Nice job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BuzzKillin 21 Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Wow. Beautiful rifle! Congrats. I like the choices you made. Did you thread the barrel for the muzzle brake/flash suppressor? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
janusthephoenix 24 Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 (edited) Wow, a bit surprised by the comments. Thanks for not tearing me a new a-hole Dogs like you when you pet them and toss them their favorite ball. The Saiga Forum likes you when you post gun porn. Good looking rifle, BTW.

Boba Debt 350 Posted August 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 I told you the reaction from the forum would be different if you put up pics. Nice job. When I posted images of my test fit many people hated my choice of butt stock and made there feeling known No worries though, I'm putting the same stock on my S-12 Wow. Beautiful rifle! Congrats. I like the choices you made. Did you thread the barrel for the muzzle brake/flash suppressor? I installed an AK-74 FSB and silver soldered it in place. The Flash Suppressor screws onto the FSB. I have a thread posted about this. Dogs like you when you pet them and toss them their favorite ball. The Saiga Forum likes you when you post gun porn. Good looking rifle, BTW. You guys are spoiling me with the nice comments. I guess all the guys that hated it before haven't found this thread yet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1mile50 102 Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 I told you the reaction from the forum would be different if you put up pics. Nice job. When I posted images of my test fit many people hated my choice of butt stock and made there feeling known No worries though, I'm putting the same stock on my S-12 I've got no complaints about the ATK stock. Very strong and serviceable. I've got it on my S-12 and I have another waiting to be put on my 7.62x39, when I convert it. The rifle just arrived today. So did my Chaos Quad for my S-12. I'm going to do a Krebs fore-end grip adapter and a Tango Down Grip setup. S-12 pic 1 S-12 pic 2 I'm glad you posted your pics, so I could get a look at a converted carbine with the ATK stock. Good looking rifle! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
imarangemaster 315 Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 As I said, AWESOME! The great thing about converting a Saiga is being able to build it up to suite your needs and wants! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
