Big John! 2,062 Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 You either love or hate the Magpul forend. I'm really happy with it. BTW, I stole the idea from Fitty% and his S12. 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PRISONSHANK 70 Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 I really wish they would make a saiga specific version of that handguard with a heatshield incorporated. John with that foreign pg arent u a part shy of 922? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SaigaKen 338 Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 I would like it if the leading and trailing edges were trimmed flush Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BigChongus 765 Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 I like. I usually prefer original handguards but that really looks decent. Also, this board could use a don't-ask-don't-tell policy for 922r. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

John with that foreign pg arent u a part shy of 922? Not if his muzzy attachment is US made. Very nice Big John. Mullet Man, look at the last picture. You will see a button head bolt that screws right into the OEM stock attachment hole connected to the barrel. If he uses an industrial adhesive to attach something like a home made grip tang to the inside of the grip, he can lightly press fit it to the receiver for a snug fit, just like an ordinary AK lower foregrip. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I used a AK furniture handguard clamp that clamps to the barrell. I then ground a piece of flat stock that bolts to the reciever and slides tightly into the hand guard. I would like it if the leading and trailing edges were trimmed flush That's the Magpul look and I did not want to change that. I really wish they would make a saiga specific version of that handguard with a heatshield incorporated. John with that foreign pg arent u a part shy of 922? • Ergonomically designed with finger swell & backstrap • Surfacing enhances grip & minimizes slippage when wet • Beaver tail for better control, higher & firmer hold • Made from reinforced plastic composite Made in the USA Counts as 1 Compliance part. Thanks for all the props. There are so many here that convert theirs to look like typical AK's that I didn't know how well it would be recieved. I'm glad you guys like it. Took it to my LGS and got a lot of compliments on it. Thanks to Fitty% for giving me the idea. Edited January 4, 2014 by Big John! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mullet Man 2,114 Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Yeah but the fixed MOE stock has what looks to be an adapter piece where the tang would be. Plus the whole AR setup really effects price. That hand guard does look good on there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rifle Dynamics makes an awesome AR buffer tube adapter (Jim Fuller is a Business Member here). No tang cutting: http://rifledynamics.com/products/ak-to-m-4-stock-adapter-by-rifle-dynamics Other way is to buy a buffer tube-shaped machined aluminum 2-pc adapter assembly, which is attached to AK receiver adapter block. It connects to the tang with machine head screws. CSS sells it; same looking (clone or OEM) pops up once in a while on the net.

Mullet Man 2,114 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 (edited) Sorry guys, cleanliness is why I said AK specific and when I said AK specific, I meant bolts in clean like an AK butt stock. Like if magpul made their fixed stock specifically for an AK receiver. IE, doesn't require all the extra AR junk (adapters) hanging off the back end.

Padrooga 55 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Pretty! I do like the fusion of Magpul and AK. A fixed stock would be great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Big John! 2,062 Posted January 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Pretty! I do like the fusion of Magpul and AK. A fixed stock would be great. No fixed stock for this monkey armed dude. I need/like a long lenght of pull. The stock that's on there now is already a function over form thing. Not what I really wanted, but I just scraped up enough cash to get this thing running and knew this butt stock would work for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Padrooga 55 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Yeah I'm still trying to find the right balance between finance, visual appeal and functionality...I really like Magpul's collapsible stock for the AK. It's good for my arm length where some fixed stocks cause me to reach too much. I feel like a folding stock would give your cheek a beating after enough drills, so while they look cool I'd have to try one of those for a minute before committing to it. Maybe I could just hip-fire with no stock like a badass. Because, you know, that's obviously the most effective way to use it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SICARIO 26 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Very nice! I like it. I sent a picture of the one i have on my S12 to magpul with a "hint, hint, nudge, nudge" Maybe they'll eventually follow suit. I also had a magpul MOE grip plastic welded to an ACE grip adapter that I sent them a picture of. I don't think they made the AK MOE grip because of me, but it's nice to know we're on the same thinking plane.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

breid1970 327 Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Could you show how you attached the Handguard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tchick 52 Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Here's the stock adapter I used: http://www.carolinashooterssupply.com/product_p/css-ak-tube.htm I like it. I don't know why anyone would want to go back to a fixed stock after using an adjustable one. The adjustable stock allows me to have the correct eye relief for my scope which my fixed stock did not. Since this photo was taken I added a .5" riser on the stock for a better cheek weld. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Big John! 2,062 Posted March 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Could you show how you attached the Handguard. Next time I pull it apart I will. It's truly easy though. Just gut the forend till it fits the gun except for the part where you slide the steel plate in. Cut a plate to fit inside the forend and drill a hole in a spot that will fit it right to stock hole in the receiver then bolt the plate in. Then get a clamp on furniture mount from CSS for the front mount. To install, slide the plate in the forend, then bolt the front through the bottom of the forend. I did it all with a dremel with this side cutting type bit (looks like a drill bit) and a drill. Seriously, if you go look at the forend at your LGS, you will understand this completely.
