King Cash 104 Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 After drooling over a Saiga 5.45 since 2009, I FINALLY got one!!! Its definitely a darker red than it appears in this pic: Desperado's guitar case Its true color: thats a nice setup man. i love the pistol grip. who makes it and where did you get it? also the guitar case is badass. where can i get one? Thanks. Pistol Grip: http://www.akfiles.com/forums/showthread.php?t=78081 And its just a regular hard shell guitar case that you can get from Guitar, Center, ebay, etc. Here's the method that I followed (ended up using mattress foam though): http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_118/457170_.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites

86K10 3 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 I had my first Saiga conversion listed before but I can't edit it and don't have the link to the pic correct so here it is again. I have about 5 hours into it. Ran 180 rounds thru it with no bullet guide and it was fine. I have one to install just have not done it yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

johnnyrocketeer 2 Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Just finished my modest conversion. This is my first Kalashnikov and I must say, the quality of this rifle is excellent! However, I am less than pleased with the fit and finish of the stock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mancat 2,368 Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Just finished my modest conversion. This is my first Kalashnikov and I must say, the quality of this rifle is excellent! However, I am less than pleased with the fit and finish of the stock. If you have ever seen surplus AK plum stocks, they are not exactly smooth and uniform. That's just part of the deal. Arsenal/K-VAR tried to replicate this roughness. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FrayAdjacent 1 Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 (edited) Pictures of the conversion I did yesterday: I learned a couple things doing the conversion the way I did it. -Grinding and drilling shit sucks, but you gotta do it. It's not bad, it's just kinda tedious. -Using the folding stock block, the tang needs to be cut off and ground flat. See the previous comment. -Using the Tapco pistol grip nut with a Hogue grip works out awesome, but you have to shave off the sides of the Tapco nut thing to work with the folding stock block. See two comments ago. -Using the Tromix modified Tapco G2 trigger kit is stupid easy to install... the Shepherd's Crook to retain the pins is a little bit of a bitch, but I got that fucker in. -The side folding stock (ACE with the ACE mechanism) is NICE, but I probably should have gotten the 9.5" instead of the 8.5". I can make it work, tho. I worried if the stock folded might interfere with the optics rail should I ever decide to use it, but there is plenty of clearance.

essohbe 47 Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 Let us know if your set screw in the ACE stock folding mechanism wears into the mated end. I wanted to use one but people that have had them long enough tell me they are shit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
toshbar 36 Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) Finally got the Hensoldt on. And here it is with the folder and Tactical Scout Kitty. Edited December 14, 2011 by toshbar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NM0 586 Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 The plum furniture and red grip look great with that side folder. Nice job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
toshbar 36 Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) The plum furniture and red grip look great with that side folder. Nice job. Think so? Thanks! All my buddies tell me the salmon grip is horrible looking, but that's the way the bulgarian '74s were..... I think they're just jealous. Here's a pic with the plum fixed stock.

NM0 586 Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 I like it better with the wire folder. The grip isn't competing with the plum as much. Wonder what a Bakelite would look like? Everyone has their own flavors, traditional and beyond. Most important thing is you can shoot it very well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BigChongus 765 Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 (edited) Switched to wood on the 5.45 and 7.62. These are surplus Bularian sets I picked up for $25 each, stripped and refinished. Edited January 3, 2012 by W8lifter 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NM0 586 Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Nice job. They look sharp with the wood. I see their still pretty much matching. Like the Hogue grips with traditional wood, that 45rd Bakelite looks good too. It's cool watching these rifles(others too) go through variations. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hefedehefe 0 Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Anyone have a picture of one of these on an AK??? It's theCommand Arms 6 Position Collapsible Stock Stamped Receiver model CAKC. It looks sweet, but I cannot find any samples : / Quote Link to post Share on other sites
essohbe 47 Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Mine got a bit of a make-over... ... Beryl stock and underbarrel launcher... I took a Polish 26.5mm launcher apart and did some tinkering. I have to get a better clamp for attaching it but for now you get the idea. I used a rail on the top tapped into a welded square tube to the launcher to mount the aluminum rail. When I get a better clamp system going then the rails will interlock into each other and it wont hang down so much. It got pretty interesting. I couldn't shorten the handle any more than I have it but it stuck way down farther before cutting and welding it shorter. If I had to do it again I'd hack up the H&K one instead... I guess a 37mm launcher is the next project. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
