mike1972 1 Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 In a different thread I got a response about someone using an AR style tube WITHOUT cutting the tang. I did some searching & googling, and found one I wouldnt use, but I seen another style that interested me very much but couldnt find the manufacturer name. Anyone running a tube adapter that you DONT have to cut the tang, and can you tell me who the maker is for the one you are using? I'd post a pic of the one I like, but my internet is slooow. Its a very minimal piece that isnt the kind that has the cutoff buttstock with a tube shoved in it look. I think the one Im NOT interested in is the UTG? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

(You're internet speed has nothing to do with posting pictures, if you just link them. Copy the address of the picture (right click on the picture, click "Copy Image Location"), then when you're making your post, click on what looks like a Polaroid picture in the top of the post window, and paste in the address. The picture will show up when you post.) Anyway.....is the one you don't like, the CAA one? It's not US made (if that matters to you) but IIRC, people were reporting that it was solid piece of gear and had good things to say about the adapter itself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bvamp 604 Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Max has one in his e-store here at saiga-12.com for 15 bucks, but you should have him clarify that it works with all AR tubes, and not just the china-made stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
22_Shooter 1,560 Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Max has one in his e-store here at saiga-12.com for 15 bucks, but you should have him clarify that it works with all AR tubes, and not just the china-made stuff. It says "Butt stock adaptor designed for AK and variants to use with Model 4/15 fixed and collapsible stocks ". I've never heard of "Model 4/15 fixed or collapsible stocks". I wonder if that's the name of the Chinese stuff you're referring to. (OP, if you don't like UTG, you won't want that adapter, as it's made by UTG) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Makc 64 Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 It works with all AR tubes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boba Debt 350 Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 I have the ATI Strikeforce stock on my 7.62 and love it 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beagle12 0 Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 I used an ace Universal Receiver Block with CAR Stock Adapter. It is solid metal and no tang removal is required. This one comes with a pig nose adaptor also. I did find that ace was a bit slow on the shipping as it took nearly 2 months to get it after many calls to them. But it is a good product and well worth the wait. Again it is solid metal and not plastic. Beagle12 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aresv 49 Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 VLTOR makes a tube that works without cutting the tang. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vitamink 90 Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 I've got the caa one from Miss. auto arms. I put a Magpul stock on it and it's solid as a rock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stiletto raggio 20 Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 IMO, the VLTOR model is the top of the line. I have one on a 7.62x39 Saiga and it is the best AK stock I've used. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vitamink 90 Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 whoops. I meant to say i got my caa buffer tube from css. I get corn-fewzed sometimes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mike1972 1 Posted September 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Lots of really good replies. Thanks fellas. That VLTOR is exactly the one I was looking for. Saigas are getting like Harley Davidsons. There is so many aftermarket upgrades its hard to keep up and decide on what you want. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
