BatBoy 1 Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 I'm new to the Saiga-12 forum, but have been hanging around for a while gathering ideas for a Saiga 7.62 x 49 conversion I have planned. I may be new to Saigas, but not to AK pattern rifles. here are a couple of pictures of my latest AK build. I still have some work to do, but it functions. I plan on painting the Bakelite furniture and rust bluing the rifle. My Romanian G with Yellow fever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Azrial 1,091 Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Where did you score the Chinese Stock? That is one of my favorite AK stocks! Good job! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BatBoy 1 Posted March 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Where did you score the Chinese Stock? That is one of my favorite AK stocks! Good job! That's a DPH stock (no longer available) I scored it at a local gun show a while back. It's the type you grind the rear trunnion tang down and install like a regular full butt stock. I'm a not a big fan of how secure it is. I'm going to drill a 5/32" hole in the aluminum block that fills the trunnion void along with the receiver and secure it with a rivet. The chinese AK Bayonet is the bolt on type. The supply of these dried up back in 2006. The rest of the furniture is Chinese Bakelite; including a lower hand guard that is cut for a bayonet. The plan is to rust blue the rifle and then blast and paint the furniture a red brown. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BatBoy 1 Posted April 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 (edited) Update: just purchased a Polytech sidefolder stock, so this build is going to be done over with a true Chinese side folder. Plus, if AK builder ever comes out with his 1.3mm chinese flats, that willl be the receiver it's going on. The DPH stock will soon end up on the sellers block.
