.223 / .308 wood stock question.


Recommended Posts

Hello-

 

Very simple; Can I use a Saiga factory wood buttstock and forestock taken off of a .308 for my .223? I think yes but a veteran Saiga person who knows with absolute certainty yes or know would be great!

 

Thank you for your patience with my noobie questions.

If the .223 is not converted/restored you will have to modify the buttstock a little to clear the pin that holds the trigger. If it is converted/restored, I believe it will fit with no modification. If it does need some, it will be very little.

There is a metal (steel, I assume) "bracket" (or whatever you want to call it) that catches on the pin in the gas block just like the original plastic one, so it fits tightly. But yes, there is space on either side due to the larger diameter of the .308 barrel, as you said, oxyehho. But the space is barely noticeable, IMO.
