toadold 0 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Is it possible to do anything with the standard Saiga rifle stock after a conversion? I'm cheap and I hate to discard anything if it could be salvaged? Has anybody tried trimming the stock pistol grip off and patching up the mangled area?? Or would that end up costing more than a replacement stock? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
haugpatr 972 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Some peolpe use the factory stock as is and add a pistol grip, nothing wrong with that just keep 922R in mind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
toadold 0 Posted January 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Sigh, forgot about the parts count. Oh well just use my pocket knife and carve one out of some scrap lumber Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bukowiec39 0 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I know someone filled up the stock with some kind of poxy to make it a little heavier and then reshaped the whole stock and paint it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How much epoxy/bondo does it take to make it a made-in-USA stock? 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How much epoxy/bondo does it take to make it a made-in-USA stock? I think the only way to make a part count as US made is if you change the function of the part. For example, if you took a Canadian made 2x4 and changed it to function as a stock, it would be US made. If you take a WASR stock and re-finish it, it is still foreign made because the function did not change. I'm not a lawyer, but I think this is correct. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bukowiec39 0 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 I dont know how much poxy is usa made qualified, lol, but this one was full of it and then reshaped a little. My friend didn't care about 922 much so I never explore it further. I dont know if he still has it but if he does I'll try to get some pictures. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It worked well enough that it stayed on for far too long. there are pics in my gallery if you promise not to laugh. Edited January 17, 2012 by GunFun Quote Link to post Share on other sites
G O B 3,516 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 You can make a USA handguard out of a forign stock, because you have changed the function. You cannot make a forign part into a USA part if it still retains the origional function. In my example, the new USA handguard would still be a forign butstock if it could STILL be installed as a butstock. If the part that attached to the rear trunnion was sawed off, then it would count as a USA handguard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zfields 3 Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 a US made stock is like 25 bucks. Why bother messing with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
