Road Warrior 8 Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 I am converting one of my Saiga 7.62x39's and don't want to put a stock on at all, just the pistil grip. Does anyone know how to go about doing this? Do i have to remove the tang or is there an end plate I can buy? Any info or links would be appreciated, thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You could use this: http://www.carolinashooterssupply.com/product_p/css-int-blk.htm Or this if you want to leave the tang: http://www.carolinashooterssupply.com/product_p/css-external-block.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty sure most AKs with a 16" barrel have an OAL of about 26.5" to the end of the rear tang. If you're a micron under 26", you'll have an unregistered Weapon Made from a Rifle. Why not purchase an AK pistol, or buy a stripped receiver and rebuild the rifle on the new receiver as a pistol? Honesty, an AK rifle with no buttstock is of limited utility, especially with a full-length barrel. If you want it to be 100% legit, you could throw a folder on there and just keep it folded. Again, seems silly... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nailbomb 10,221 Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 Yeah I would look out for legalities dealing with overall length and pistols with this. I agree a folder is your best option. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thebuns1 4,323 Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 +1 for a folder. You'll essentially get the same result you want, and still be able to have a stock should the option be desired and avoid the possibility of owning an illegal weapon.

Sdustin 578 Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 An underfolder when closed is barely noticed and will be as short as an ak will get. Either that or an ak pistol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigtwin 219 Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 All above posts are great. One more thing to think about is your state laws regarding the question you asked! Though I see these AK/AR pistols as a novelty, but hey it might be a fun range toy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Road Warrior 8 Posted September 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Thanks for all the info, much appreciated. I think I'll end up going with the AR-style folding stock from CSS. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just noticed what state you're in... I'm about 99% certain that a pistol grip and folding stock is illegal in your shithole. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bigtwin 219 Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Now knowing you are here in Commiefornia! DON"T DO IT! You can (for now) make a pistol AK or AR! The method you are asking about is ILLEGAL in CA! It must be DROSed as a pistol to be legal! Your rifle Saiga is not a pistol and what you are asking to do is unlawful!
