My Saiga .223 Build and Conversion


Recommended Posts

Hello all, I converted two Saigas last summer and was hooked. This Saiga 223 is my first one, a few more Saiga rifles are in the works. I'll try to describe it as best as possible.

 

Parts: Saiga .223 with dimples, skeleton stock, Carolina Shooters Conversion package with upgraded pistol grip, UTG quad rail, Magpul AFG, Tromix Charging Handle, Duracoat "Shake n Spray" kit, SGM 30 round magazine.

 

PIC 1: The stock rifle out of the box

 

PIC 2: Skeleton stock. I loved the skeleton stock, but didn't want to put a rubber pad on it. It's just a 223 anyways. I poped two bolts in the holes, then "profiled them" to blend them in with the existing texture.

 

PIC 3: The stock trigger gaurd coming off.

 

PIC 4: The stock trigger gaurd removed and the rear of the reciever grinded off for the new stock.

 

PIC 5: The new but stock plate being installed.

 

PIC 6: New trigger group installed. I also profiled the hammer and bottom of the bolt carrier.

 

PIC 7: Duracoat going on.

 

PIC 8, 9, and 10: Finished product.
