NIH23 0 Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 My saiga 12 was imported in that AK platform so I don't have to worry about the conversion. I'm looking for a mil spec stock that will except an enidine shot shock. Can anyone please point me in the right direction I'm really tired of trying to research it lol. Thank you guys in advance.

patriot 7,197 Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Mil spec for whose military? Which spec? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
timy 1,185 Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 I'm guessing he wants an AR stock and adapter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NIH23 0 Posted March 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 (edited) Yes I'm sorry the AR stock collapsible stock, Which apparently I need for that buffer. Edited March 6, 2013 by NIH23 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
misterT 174 Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 http://www.ebay.com/itm/330661191040?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2649 here is an adapter on Ebay that is fairly inexpensive that will adapt your Saiga to an AR stock. There are others that are made from aluminum and you can use a standard reciever block with a pig nose adapter too. Spend some time looking at Carolina Shooters Supply, Mississippi Auto Arms, Dinzag, Etc there are several choices to be found Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ResponsiveResolve 7 Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 I've been looking as well...........I found this! http://www.brownells.com/rifle-parts/stock-forend-parts/rifle-stocks/ak-m4-stock-adapter-sku100011376-55411-113111.aspx I think it is very swell, as you don't have to cut the tang and it is almost flush. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NIH23 0 Posted March 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 i wonder which one of those is better. will either one allow me to put on an ar 15 stock with a buffer? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cbass 23 Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Umm.. I am a newbie too dude but I think both of those options will allow you to use a milspec buffer tube and an aftermarket milspec stock or a commercial buffer tube and a commercial stock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sapper1371usmc 107 Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 (edited) Listen to Cbass. He has given you the correct advice. Edited March 7, 2013 by sapper1371usmc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sapper1371usmc 107 Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 (edited) That one that MisterT listed is hideous, IMO. But do what you want. The link responsiveresolve listed, gets an AR stock as close to the rear of the receiver as possible without cutting the tang. If you cut the tang, you can use anyone of the stock adapters and bolt a pignose to it. There are also the buffer tubes made by Vltor, CAA, CSS that bolt to the rear of the receiver. I like the Vltor AR/AK stock adaptor. It gives you QD swivel points near the back of the receiver. And dont forget the Bonesteel Arms Folding/AR stock adaptor. Probably the best option if you want a folding stock adaptor. Much more robust than either the ACE or Stormwerkz folding adaptors. You also keep the tang.

NIH23 0 Posted March 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 So the one that responsive resolve posted won't work for what I'm trying to do? I'd like to avoid cutting off the tang if possible I just want to get something where I can still install that enidine shot shock in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't like to put AR parts on an AK, but this Brownells one is trick. Very good design the way they have the tang recessed into the tube. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Check out Bonesteel Arms. They have a folding stock adapter that doesnt require cutting the tang and allows you to screw any buffer tube into it. Here is the modular stock adapter: http://www.bonesteelarms.com/AK-Saiga-folding-stock-hinge-for-modular-stocks-akfsace.htm You will also need this for the buffer tube: http://store.carolinashooterssupply.com/servlet/-strse-170/ACE-CAR15-SAIGA-AK47/Detail And dont forget a castle nut.

Here is the modular stock adapter: http://www.bonesteelarms.com/AK-Saiga-folding-stock-hinge-for-modular-stocks-akfsace.htm This is the way to go. This is exactly what I have and I love mine. Been thinking about switching it out for more of an AK style but definitely sticking with Bonesteel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NIH23 0 Posted March 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Okay now I'm more confused than ever. This is a completely different direction than I was wanting to go. Am I going to be able to use that enidine shot shock buffer with that? Wasn't really looking for a side folding stock. I like the idea of the collapsible stock. How will I be able to use that buffer in a side folding stock? I mean it would be cool but does anybody have any pictures of any of this installed? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure if that makes any sense at all...but I try. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dubya 198 Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Here's one option. It's an internal block from CSS (requires the tang to be cut off), a pig nose adapter, castle nut then the stock & buffer tube. Everything is from CSS except the Magpul stock although i think they do carry them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eric Pate 478 Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 I know its tiring but you really do need to research this extensively to ensure that you get what you want and don't pay alot of money for stuff you don't need or is not compatible. The info is all here. Search the forum (using Google) and read, read, read. You will only be doing yourself a disservice by not educating yourself thoroughly on all available options before plunking down your hard-earned cash. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How will I be able to use that buffer in a side folding stock? I mean it would be cool but does anybody have any pictures of any of this installed? Check out the links again. Yes you can install a collapsible stock on that folding adapter. It is modular. It accepts the "Ace" style thread patterns so any stock or pignose stock adapter will bolt up to it. So in this order, bonesteel arms modular hinge, pignose adapter along with castle nut, enidine buffer tube, and finally stock. So yes you, by following the above links, you will have a collapsible stock AND a folding stock. Why settle for one when you can have both. You wont regret going with a sidefolder and the bonesteel hinge is the best out there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I found a photo of the "Endine Shot Shock" it is indeed solid underneath the threads..........so the "Rifled Dynamics ak47 m4 stock adapter" will not work. Taking Heavy D's advice I looked at Bone Steel and found this... "AK/Saiga folding stock hinge with threaded AR-15 stock interface".........@http://www.bonesteelarms.com/AK-Saiga-folding-stock-hinge-with-threaded-AR-15-stock-interface-akfsar.htm Which is a folder and leaves the tang in place. I hope this helps.....I've been looking for components for my S12 and it is a journey. Distal Radius is spot on. Edited March 7, 2013 by ResponsiveResolve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sapper1371usmc 107 Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Ok. The link RR links just above this post is the best option if you know you will never run anything other than an AR buffer tube. Simplifies things by removing the pignose adapter from the equasion. The one I listed, although the pignose isnt integrated in with the adapter, it does allow you to remove the pignose and swap to an ace stock, tromix stock, DPH stock, or any other stocks that use the same bolt pattern.

Goose 95 Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 SGM makes a replacement trunnion that lets you thread the tube inside the rear of the receiver. It's a lil more work to install but it's got less parts and keeps the cheek weld low. I love mine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sapper1371usmc 107 Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Goose, didnt you have to chase the threads of the adapter? And what about the lower protrusion? Did you end up grinding that off? Once the bugs are worked out, it could be a nice addition, keeps the stock in nice and tight. Did you rivet or use screws? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Goose 95 Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 (edited) I'm using an ACE Socom stock, and I only had to run a wire brush over the threads on my tube because I'm an idiot and marred them at one point. The tab that extends past the bottom of the receiver, as best as I can tell, is for something like an ACE Skeleton stock. And yes, it would have been in the web of my hand but I cut it off with a rotary tool before installation. I used the screws that came with it, and had to do a touch of grinding on the holes of the receiver to open them up to accept the screws. Not much though, you can't even really tell, lol don't picture any slots or ovals on my gun I promise it's not bad, and only on two holes so there's still no play. The only other thing I had to do was drill a small divot on the top-back portion of my SAW grip. It was for the head of the screw that keeps the tube from backing in or out. There were no "bugs" really, I knew ahead of time what all I had to do. Got it right the first time and didn't have to go back for unexpected things. Well worth the money and not as scary as it sounds to put in. Plus it gave me a chance to cut off the side rail. I had all this put up some where but as it turns out I didn't make my own thread for it so for the life of me I can't find my original write up for my installation. Much more detailed because it was fresh in my mind. If anyone finds it please link it in here or send it to Sapper for me. I don't want to add to the multiple thread problem lol edit for spelling Edited March 7, 2013 by Goose Quote Link to post Share on other sites

One Thing that concerns me is the RF adapter looks to be a little "high" but in line with the barrel. And there is a lil "void" that is there(right behind where the cover snaps in) that looks a little funny. here is a link to the website RF @ http://www.rifledynamics.com/shop/ Sorry if I kind of highjacked a little, but I am learning as well. Thanks for all the input. I do not like the idea of cutting the tang.......but it seems to be the norm. Do you think I should just save up and shoot for the Bonesteel folder?
