Custom Gun Furniture by BattleRifle - The Next Generation

That sounds doable, but the Ace clamp on front site complicates things.

 

I can think of two ways this would work.

1.) You send me the metal part of your handguard that slides over the pin beneath the gas block. In fact, send me the whole handguard - I can use the rest and count it towards the price.

2.) You could go with a shorther length handguard with one of my integral no-gunsmithing retainers. A Galil style would be a one-piece solution.

One response to a frequently asked question - The number of slots on the handguards is arbitrary. I have settled on doing three as a general rule, but can do a variety of numbers if specified. Lots of folks identify a handguard by the number of vents, when in the past I really haven't thought so much about the exact number.

 

If I didn't specify earlier in this thread, vents are generally a $10 option (that may go up eventually.) The reason they're less expensive to add to my handguards than others on this forum charge to vent your handguards is that it's much easier to do when the handguard is a straight block of wood and the vents can be marked as needed. They're actually one of the first things I do when I make a handguard. Taking a complete handguard and then venting it correctly requires a great deal more care and effort, which is why folks who vent buyer's handguards quite fairly charge in the neighborhood of $40.

What I am looking for is a QPG buttstock, like the one you made for DaGroaner, to fit my x39. No fancy woods or anything, because I will be painting it to match the remaing foregrip. I am inquiring about the price and shipping info for the payment.

 

Thanks

 

Robert.

A page or so back someone mentioned stocks for other types of rifles.

 

I was wondering (especialy on account of you screen name) if you had ever attempted any G3 wood.

 

Specificaly a wooden Namibian buttstock.

I may be getting into G3 furniture a bit more in the coming months. That stock style sounds like a good idea to try.

I'll keep a checking in from time to time.

I know you could sell a boat load of Cetme/G3 pistol grips.

[BattleRifleG3 16]

I have the first two underway. There may be a little more R&D to do on them, since they require much more machining than AK grips.

[BattleRifleG3 16]

Always trying new things.

 

One fellow was interested in grips for the G3 and was willing to be the first one. Turned out pretty well, but also helped find how to do them better next time.

 

On somewhat of whim I picked up an unfamiliar wood called Jatoba. Made a few grips from it and boy is it tough. Strong woods tend to leave the smoothest surfaces, and this is definitely the case. Pics don't show that clearly enough. I started thinking these would be an excellent match for the weathered military teak of the Yugo AKs, being a bit more brown than the yellowish teak I can get, and after reading up on it, it seems Jatoba is often used as a substitute for teak. Harder to work with but much stronger and smoother in the end and less than half the price for material (unfortunately not that big a difference for the end product - but did I mention it's very smooth and strong?)

 

Think I might be starting some G3 furniture come the new year. I can currently offer Jatoba as a wood choice, and do have enough on hand for a stock set or two.

[BattleRifleG3 16]

A few works in progress:

 

A true Saiganov if there ever was one. Made from African Mahogany to fit the Saiga-308.

 

A walnut stock for the Saiga-223, with a special accomodation for a bipod adaptor.

 

And a very fine wood in a much cruder state - These are various pieces for AKM and Yugo AK made from redheart wood. As you can see, this stuff is really RED. The dust is very fine as this wood is very hard, and when I get it over mildly moist hands it looks like I started hunting season early.

Sweet!.....that is going to look great on my gun....

 

 

thanks for the teaser pics!

PM sent to BattlerifleG3.

 

Interested to see if you're "taking orders" for the CETME (G3) handgrips.

 

Thanks!

[BattleRifleG3 16]

I could take orders for them, ETA would be mid January.

[bubbajj 0]

Hey BG3, Do you have the pattern for a AK style buttstock on a Norinco Milled reciever hunter? I need one for a Galil conversion.

[BattleRifleG3 16]

I don't have the pattern, but if you want to send me your stock and some additional measurements I can see about replicating them on a different stock.

I'm new here, and just got my 20.47" .223 from Stanley's Pro Shop, and would love to have a setup like you show here:

 

 

except I don't need the bipod mount part. And either the Jatoba you mentioned or Beech.

 

I take I can finish it out in Tung oil or urethane?

 

Thanks!

hi BRG3

i dont know if u got my msg

but i am really interested into getting a kit similair to

A true Saiganov if there ever was one. Made from African Mahogany to fit the Saiga-308.

exept that mine is a 7.62 saiga....

thanks

[BattleRifleG3 16]

Here are some sets in progress. Two are for standing orders, but the rest are available. If any of them catch your interest I can put them in line for completion since my elective production takes a back seat to paid orders.

[wahlie 1]

BattleRifle,

Sent you a PM regarding the Drago stock and front handguard for my Saiga .223. Please let me know timing and price on it.

 

Thanks,

Chris

[BattleRifleG3 16]

Not sure I get the hang of the new attachment feature yet.

 

This set is for a board member. Wanted a more sporting and less expensive thumbhole stock than my typical dragunov one. Also wanted a matching Galil style grip for switching to a folding stock. Wood is honduran mahogany, and the gun is a Saiga-12 (same pattern for Saiga-20.)

 

This is a combination of red oak pieces that gave some rude surprises in their coloring. A dark finish would pretty much clear them up, and this set would of course be at significantly reduced price. It fits the Saiga-12 and 20.

 

This is another second quality set. Either the wood had some rude surprises inside it or someone did a wild thermodynamics experiment with it in transit because it arrived with a few small cracks. These can be repaired mechanically and this set too would be sold at a reduced price. It fits the Saiga-410.

 

And saving the best for last, this is one of the very last beech sets I'll be able to offer due to a cut off supply of the wood. I call this one the "Yugonov" because it combines a Dragunov-like handguard with a Yugo style fat grip and generally Yugo-looking buttstock. The buttstock is above straightline and this set would be an excellent match for a scoped Saiga rifle.

[Crow 2]

Arthur, thanks for the progress pics. That is exactly what I wanted. I'm very stoked.

I really like the looks of the stock set pictured unmounted about three pics down in the top of your post. It looks like a "qausi" pistol grip for an unconverted Saiga, but is different than the one pictured later (with the modified wrist). Does this stock fit a Norinco Hunter AK also? If you'd rather email your answer than post, my address is jmaconphillips@cablelynx.com

[BattleRifleG3 16]

Quasi-P-Grip is exactly the term I use, QPG for short. The drastic inletting for the wrist is a target version upgrade.

 

I don't know how similar a stamped Norinco hunter is, but it may be a good match. If you'd be able to post a pic of your hunter's stock removed from the receiver and of the receiver rear up close, that would be a great help. And these pictures would be fine for all to see on this thread as far as I'm concerned.

[BattleRifleG3 16]

Another great set for a great customer.

 

The buttstock is a sporting variation of my dragunov style that is simpler and less expensive, and is fitted with a buyer supplied limbsaver recoil pad. The handguard is the Schnabel 2000 style, vented as an option. The grip is an improved Galil style. The wood is honduran mahogany.

Arthur, that is beeeeautiful! Thanks for working with me on this. I can't wait put it all together. I know it will be well worth all the time you've put in it.

[BattleRifleG3 16]

Two new sets almost done.

 

One is a QPG set in hickory with Galil style handguard for the Saiga 20. The other is a Krinkov styled AKM set for a pistol or underfolder made from cocobolo.
