AKMIKEFMJ 0 Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 I just purchased this Saiga .308 version 21. It should be here in a couple weeks. What are the polymer stock and forearm options for the version 21 ??? Thanks................ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 (edited) Why? Why on God's green earth would anyone want to take the beautiful furniture off the ver.21? Seriously, why? Should'a just bought a normal 21" import model. Stock? One,maybe two that are semi-readily available, from other slant cut receiver guns... None without alteration that I know of. Forearms, any that'll fit the S.308. MINE Edited October 28, 2011 by ChileRelleno Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AKMIKEFMJ 0 Posted October 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm..............I would like to keep the wood nice looking. So will shoot it with polymer stock on it so the wood won't get dinged up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AKMIKEFMJ 0 Posted October 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 I think you will like that rifle. Thanks........i didn't get the scope.Do you guys know of any good low capacity mags for shooting off the bench ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 The only mag I have for mine is the factory, and it has been just fine on the bench. Just got back from the range today, had to re-sight my ver-21's scope after lapping and resetting rings. I generally rest my forward hand atop a sand bag whilst cradling the forearm, the factory mag clears the bench just fine. Surefire/SGM makes a 5rd polymer that is very nice, and Csspecs makes a 10rd steel that is excellent. Both available at Carolina Shooters Supply. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 Mine? I got mine from Mississippi Auto Arms, back in Feb '10. Right now, you're only going to find one used, usually one to be found 'For Sale' on various websites or auction sites. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AKMIKEFMJ 0 Posted October 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 I bought mine used for $600 shipped on a online gun forum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Saigasaki 0 Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 You may want to check classicarms.com, they may have them. They have a lot of AK/Saigas in their website. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 (edited) You may want to check classicarms.com, they may have them. Better luck finding a virgin in a whorehouse than a S.308-ver.21 at Classic Arms.Few enough online retailers have ever carried them, and Classic is not one of'em. You will not find them right now at a regular retailer, trust me, private sale or auction is your best and only bet at this time.

dvdcrr 0 Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 There are some Veprs now, which are along the same lines... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 There are some Veprs now, which are along the same lines... Yep, some very nice Veprs in 7.62 x39 & 54r, but at $400.-$600. +/- more, and Super Vepr in .308/7.62x51nato for $900. more than the average ver.21. The Super Vepr gives me a chubbie.

DavidM 0 Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 (edited) In answer to AKMIKE's original question, the Choate stocks for the MAK 90 slant cut receiver models can be made to fit very easily. I put one on my 21 for the precise reason of keeping my wood nice. In true WECSOG fashion it takes a little Dremel tool action to fit the stock to the gun, but the polymer is easy to work with. I got the furniture set that included handguards. A true AK gas tube and Dinzag's bolt on handguard retainer are necessary to make this set up work and you will have to hog out the lower handguard with your trusty Dremel to clear the thicker barrel. In retrospect, I would have just bought the stock and found a polymer Saiga fore end "takeoff" as I don't really like the look of the current AK set up.
