SaigaKen 338 Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Iron wood designs is the way to go or get yourself some 50's era Russian Laminate and rework it.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
csspecs 1,987 Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 It is a little involved to get it mounted on the .308. Hand guard needs to be opened for the extra barrel diameter, the lower mount I'd suggest buying. Gas tube can be swapped for a AK-74 I think, The lower side needs to be trimmed to adjust for the thicker barrel. Other then that its pretty easy. If you can build a bird house, you can probably get it right the first time. My photo on the left is my Saiga .308 with Romanian wood stocks.. They are the low grade used ones and I refinished them.

lbsrdi 1,078 Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 I really like the wood on the .308s. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cedricxerxes 0 Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 What's the length of your Romanian stock (recevier to recoil pad)? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sdustin 578 Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 heres mine the top is from a wrsa10 and the lower bulgy i think. lower reatiner is from dinzag. the hard part was opening the lower handguard for the barrel. the top was just file work to get it to lock in.

Sdustin 578 Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 deadeye youll need to be sanding a long time its a lot of material that needs removed on the lower handguard each side is less than 1/4 inch thick i used a dremel and a sanding wheel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deadeye 325 Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 ok I have only built them from scratch and have no experience with converting from old wood handgaurds I have made a fiew and that's how I have made them fit once it is close. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sdustin 578 Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 the barrel on the 308 is much much thicker Quote Link to post Share on other sites
