Jaba1017 71 Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 (edited) .223 with Polish millsurp Beryl stock, sling, and mags, G2 trigger, Arsenal pistol grip and base plates. 922r compliant. Edited April 14, 2012 by Jaba1017 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jaba1017 71 Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 (edited) Pyzik, you caused me to buy a Beryl folder. It's really comfortable. Only PITA was finding/modding the metric screws. My Beryl folder took a No. 10-32 stainless cap screw no problem. It would have also taken a 5M-.8 reasonably well. My guess is that the correct screw is the 5M-.7 which nobody sells. Which BTW that is a nice looking rifle. How did you get the leather retaining collar on the sling? I couldn't figure out how to get it on after threading the sling through the rear loop.

I like the forend you put on yours. I might add that. With my 7.62x39 I found the stock forend to improve accuracy. But the standard AK short forend would allow more heat dissipation from the gas block. I'm finding that with the rate I squeeze off rounds on the .223 I'm pushing the heat dissipating capacity of the stock handguard. I'm also exhausting my .223 ammo supply. But the Beryl .223 Saiga is a fun little rig. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I couldn't figure out how to get it on after threading the sling through the rear loop. Thanks.. You just have to carefully slip & twist the front clip of the sling through the leather loop. Some are tighter than others, but t will fit. If yours is really tight, just leave it out in the sun for a bit before you do it. You should never have to pass the buckle through the leather loop - it goes on at the clip end, then you loop the clip back through the buckle.

Just FYI, I have had Dinzag's Bolt On hanguard retainer on my rifle for about four years without a single problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bohound 281 Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Took a look at this thread, realized I never posted the paint. Here ya go... With a new PA MD-10 on top of the UltimAK. She fights with her "little" sister for magazines, but she's the queen. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pyzik 597 Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Bohound, I love your rifle. Yesterday I searched all your posts and dug through to find all your pics. (That kinda sounds creepy now that I have typed it lol) My wife has a net like laundry bag I have been eye-balling trying to decide whether to keep my rifle black or give it that snake skin look...

ImperialArt 29 Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Hello all! This is my first post, and I wanted it to be a chance to show my new baby. I have never built a stock for a rifle, so it was an adventure, but fun as all hell! Wanted to keep it 922r compliant, California legal and beautiful. So I went with a mock monte carlo stock (should be cali legal, thumb rests above the top of the trigger and is neither a thumbhole nor a PG). Let me know what you think! -Just finished cutting, carving, shaping, sanding, and fitting it to the reciever. - 2 coats of red/burgundy mahogany stain and 2 coats of polyurathane. Ported, resculpted hand guard (its the original). I plan on making a wooden on from the same cut of wood as the stock. And here is my final outcome... Again, this was my first attempt. I plan on making another stock from the same wood for a 7.62 model. The handguard is rough, I know. It was more or less a test run before I start making a similar one out of high quality wood. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Whiskey 21 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Shes pretty good when it comes to firearms. I think this will not be one of those "changed her mind" things. One of reasons why she wants me to build another is because she wants one now lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
liberty -r- death 1,445 Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Decided to get a Galil hand guard for my 410, but the barrel was too fat for it so I put it on my 223. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pyzik 597 Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) Wrapped my stock today, turned out better than I thought it would. Except for the knot of course! Edited April 27, 2012 by Pyzik 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bohound 281 Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 I think I'd skip the buttpiece Pyzik, but that's just me... The rest looks really great! Of course, you'll have to find a matching shade of paracord for when you paint the rifle! LOL. Lingerie laundry bags work best, FYI. Your wife needs a new one anyway, doesn't she? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bohound 281 Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) zip ties, "twistie" ties... I've used both. Mechanic's wire works too... DON'T remove the net until the coat of paint is pretty much dry. It should be more of a "peel" off, not a pull off... You'll see... Practice on an ammo can or something a few times until you get the desired effect. I found it works best to just CUT THE NET bag, and wrap in one layer, not multiple layers. Of course, you'll have to tinker to see what works best for you. Try to make the net conform to the shape of the rifle as much as possible though... You can ALWAYS add more of one color... Go slow on the topcoat. Good luck! Edited April 25, 2012 by bohound 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Everytime I find one I have no money and when I have no money I find one. Thanks... accurate too. It is at 100 meters as accurate as my AR-15 , that is, 1 to 2 inches grouping, consistently , with Wolf 75gr ammo and Silver Bear 62gr. I haven`t try it at farther distances .

mancat 2,368 Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 So you are in Germany, yes? It was frustrating for me to look through the Saiga owner's manual and see all of the different models available in Europe, but not to us here in the USA. Very nice variant - 20" heavy barrel. I bet that's a really accurate Saiga. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
