Jeric 0 Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 I'm willing to bet you could go back to the factory stock without the lower tang and never miss it. Then again, why would you want to that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jsr5 0 Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 This is just what I'm looking for like to see one in a folding configuration but this might work until one comes about if it ain't too pricey. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BattleRifleG3 16 Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 ACE already made a folder for unconverted Saigas. I'd do the conversion myself. The stock in this thread has its own unique merits. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheGunHustler 3 Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 yeah i saw that ace folder on there web sight and it is 200.00 bucks. ouch but it looks great Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Unknown Poster 5 Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 I like it, it looks awesome. I like things that are different and look different too its time to break the norm, go for the gusto and its about time someone manufactured these stocks for the saigas they have been around for many years for shotguns anyhoo. Without seeing it i wonder if a hole could be drilled in the replacement stock so the tag would go into it without having to cut it off? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted March 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 That is how the original was designed but it caused a weak point so it was eliminated. I'm speaking for Jeric but I believe this is correct. It would be quite easy to drill the rivet on the rear of the TG and add an extension tang with a rivet or screw if you ever did want to go back to the original stock for some reason.

Sounds like a good idea doesn't it? Cobra's right, it created a weak point. It just won't do. cobra where can you get this stock and how much are they They will range from around $70 to around $125 depending on the wood and finish. I will have some completed for sale in about a month. Jeric Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gunboy69 50 Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 6'7"...Jesus christ! Sounds like you could shoulder an M-60! I think its great to have more options for the S-12. Those are dremel modifications that should take less than 20 minutes. I started another conversion for a friend of mine, and I had that thing stripped and ready for parts in an hour. But some people just don't have mechanical skills, this a great option for them! I love the fact you plan on all those types of wood, that looks like it would be great for a sporting, hunting type. I would definately buy one. As far as having Cobra test it, his word is money. Good luck with it! Its pretty exciting having people working on multiple items to improve our beloved Saigas. Hopefully they will all get dumped on us at the same time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigfunkytown 0 Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 No it would have to be cut completely off flush with the rear of the receiver but If you ever wanted to go back to the regular stock, for some strange reason, you could just make a small tang exactly like the one you cut off but a little longer and re attach it to the stock and receiver. Or just weld it back if you have that capability.Any updates? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jeric 0 Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 6'7"...Jesus christ! Sounds like you could shoulder an M-60! Always been a dream of mine!!! Any updates? I'm in FL right now, will be 'till about the end of the month. I have 8 stocks (one of which is Cobra's Bolivian Walnut) that will be ready within about two weeks after I return.

Jeric 0 Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Things are moving way slower than expected, however, here are some photos I took last night to post. From the bottom, Bolivian Walnut, Mohagany, Willow, Basswood(x3), and Poplar. Here's a close up of the tang notch. Cobra, this one is yours! My dog has already signed it! Check out the paw size on that thing, and that's just the front half! This was up on my bench,(btw, I'm 6' 7", and my work bench is appropriately tall,) my dog was confined to the shop with a bum leg, and he still got up to the bench to grab some bones I had up there for him. He left a little signature behind... These are all nearing completion, but I'm down for a week, waiting on some things to be delivered. Next time you see these, they will be for sale. Thanks!

Sosuke 0 Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 (edited) That's pretty sweet, thinking I'll definatly have to order one when I get my S-12. My brother and I always have trouble finding comfortable stocks for ape arms He's 6'5" I'm 6'1" and all arms for some reason. Edited May 16, 2006 by Sosuke Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BattleRifleG3 16 Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 If this stock is your cup of tea, I can make a handguard in matching wood. Might be worth checking first on the specific woods, but I'd give it a general can-do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That way you'll know for certain that your wood will match in grain, cut and quality. -J Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That way you'll know for certain that your wood will match in grain, cut and quality. Now *THIS* sort of attitude is just what makes the Saiga forums the most amazing forum on the net... You have two different folks, doing almost the same sort of thing... but willing to go out of their way to share in the resources, knowing who does quality work, to make sure that the buyer is going to get top quality product, and two people get the business. Three people make out, and it is just wonderful to have people here that take the time and the pride, to be willing to work together to make it all better for everyone... THAT, I think says something about the type of people we have here at the Saiga forums... Gentlemen... My hat is off to you! That is worthy of the "Official Indy 9 thumbs up seal of approval"!!!!

BattleRifleG3 16 Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 If there's anything I've seen it's that everyone wants something different and no one person can do everything. This way people wanting a integrated p-grip stock can get one that will fit any Saiga, and I can offer a model specific handguard. I have been reluctant to undertake integrated p-grip stocks for unconverted Saigas, while I haven't seen any handguard offerings from Jeric to match the buttstocks. This way people wanting a matching set and wanting that stock can be served who otherwise wouldn't be. The way I see it this does nothing but give more business to each of us.

BattleRifleG3 16 Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 (edited) I do, but you have to convert. Actually I could do a non-con version too, but it's so not my cup of tea and would not resemble cheap in the slightest. Edited June 18, 2006 by BattleRifleG3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
