mr300zhb 0 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Hey guys, I'm looking to buy a set of the stock sporter configuration saiga rifle wood stock over at Mississippi Auto Arms. My question is this, Will the wood stock from a sporter configuration saiga rifle fit a sporter configuration saiga shotgun? The set is $150 so I don't want to pull the trigger until I know. I can't have a pistol grip in NY state on a shotgun... I know it sucks... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

billyjoebob 10 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 (edited) +1 The dimensions on the shotgun are much different from the rifles. I've read that some are able to take wood kits for standard saigas and whittle away at them until they fit the s12, but i'd be hard pressed to drop $150 knowing I would have to bastardize the set so it would fit.

YOT 3,743 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 I've seen plenty of pictures of the wood sporter .308 stock sets on the S12. I believe the butt stock fits but the HG has to be modified to fit. Look in the picture post and you should find one there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xxxpez 5 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 The buttstock for any stamped receiver will fit. I've seen several 308 hg's and can let you know how much modification it takes once I get my set. Unless you want a particular custom set you could check the wts section for a take off 308 set.

billyjoebob 10 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 (edited) Had to get back to my laptop, but I knew I saved a link there: (Link removed...google ironwood designs) I know some members have purchased from them, and they have stocks for converted and sporter configurations.

cbang 0 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Can you please post the link to the wood stock set for sale. I'm interested in the buttstock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TO THE FLOOR IN A 63 121 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Stocks seem to be interchangable between my S12 and my saiga 7.62x39. Forend won't fit. Don't know about them saying shotgun??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YOT 3,743 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Look at some of the links in the business members sections on the main page. Go from there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mr300zhb 0 Posted February 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 From what i can tell, the buttstock will fit. I compared pictures of the stock with my factory original and it looks the same. We'll see if the dimensions are the same, should be though right? Obviously the fore end won't fit. I will let you guys know and will post pics after it comes. The link to purchase is below. I will be selling the fore end if anyone is interested. $30? http://www.mississippiautoarms.com/saiga-762x39-and-223-rifle-wood-forearm-buttstock-p-1348.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YOT 3,743 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 That butt stock should bolt right on and the hand guard can be made to fit. Remember though that those are Russian made and DO NOT count towards 922r compliance. Had they been available when I was building mine I probably would have gone with them. I did the full conversion though and made a custom thumbhole stock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mr300zhb 0 Posted February 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Yeah, I already have the UTG fore end, a UTG vertical grip, 3 US made mags, Eotech sight, etc... I'm not worried about 922r compliance. I'm worried about a New York State trooper coming on my property and finding my S12 with an illegal pistol grip! On a related note, I am selling my Tapco T6 stock if anyone is interested? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scrambledkj 0 Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 The factory wood from the 308 will fit. I used a barrel sander to open up the handguard. It took about 5 minutes and then you drill the hole for the handguard screw. looks nice while skeet shooting with a 12 round magazine... travis Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Azrial 1,091 Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Cobra has some nice wood on his Saiga 12. Go to his sub-forum, there should be pictures there somewhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Klassy Kalashnikov 1,393 Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 (edited) I fitted a set of .308 wood to a Saiga-12 a while back. The forend needs some material hogged out and re-stained, as well as a new handguard screw hole and slot carved into the wood. The stock will fit as well, but needs a little bit of material rasped off at the front and bottom of it to accommodate the wishbone linkage in an unconverted S-12. It doesn't have the same shape because the 308 uses a different type of linkage in factory configuration. It is very easy to modify the stock and when you go to insert it you will see where you need to remove a little wood from. One thing I can tell you about S-308 wood on a 12g, is that it is well worth it. It makes the gun balance very, very nicely and the grip angle is much better on the wood stock than the synthetic one. No idea why they didn't use the stock shape from the wood for the synthetic mold! Edited February 15, 2011 by Classy Kalashnikov Quote Link to post Share on other sites
