JDeko 792 Posted October 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 so you cut down a PSL stock to fit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Automatikjack 1 Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 I've been eyeballing my psl for the last two days and I have to admit that furniture would look pretty sweet on the 030. My only concern is the foregrip would take some work to get right unless you can find a regular ak grip that's that beefy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDeko 792 Posted October 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 I'm thinking of just buying the AK-style ones that Ironwood sells since they wouldn't need to be dremmeled wider [of course here i'm thinking of hacking up a PSL stock to fit so...] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Automatikjack 1 Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 (edited) Might be cheaper to look at the psl stocks first. I use the word "cheaper" with my fingers crossed since PSLs have exploded in price. I am curious if the psl stock would dampen the recoil any. I shot mine this weekend and got that nice little strip of red just left of my collar bone 50 rounds later. Still far more forgiving than my 91/30s.

JDeko 792 Posted October 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 I meant the Ironwood forend, and hoping i could mod a PSL stock for my Saiga Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDeko 792 Posted October 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) Y'okay, I was basically given the offer by a family member to buy a stock now as an early Christmas gift. I need to know ASAP if this stock will fit my Saiga [if i convert the FCG forward]: http://www.ebay.com/itm/AK-47-Wood-stock-For-AK-Maaidi-Egyptian-rifle-Excellent-condition-/111472777842?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19f44b9a72 Edited October 2, 2014 by JDeko Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDeko 792 Posted October 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 Welp, all the thumbhole stocks I was watching were bought up in quick relation to each other. If anyone has a link to a wood PSL, SVD, or Maadi style stock that would fit a stamped reciever I'd be very happy as the only one right now I can find is 130 dollars.

Automatikjack 1 Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 So I decided instead of using my imagination, I'd try to fit the proverbial square in the triangle hole since I have both a PSL and the same Saiga as JDeko. The results would certainly be interesting. It looks like you'd have to cut quite a bit deeper for the stock to sit perfectly, but the saiga reciever is definitely roomier so you won't have to trim the block that gets inserted The downside, of course, is you will still have to do the trigger/fcg mod. But I think it'll look pretty sexy with something like that. Also, with time it's just going to look even better as that finish starts to wear. I kind of almost want to get another and wear down the finish some to give it a "surplus" feel.In other news, someone just had a Dragunov wood kit for $450. (I hate seeing that and thinking its cheap)Overall, it'd look pretty sexy, but would require a little creativity, as well as some massaging to get the stock in deep enough and flush.

JDeko 792 Posted October 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 so did you just dremmel the slanted part of the stock flat to fit the saiga receiver? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JDeko 792 Posted October 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Shot my Saiga for the first time today. I now have a welt on my upper arm that looks much more like a hickie than it does a bruise... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Automatikjack 1 Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 What'd you feed it? Any stoppages/malfunctions? Also, I found something pretty cool if you decide to take your stock in a different direction. Century recoil reduction stock Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDeko 792 Posted October 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Went like a champ, not failures of any sort feeding it Winchester Super-X shells. Fired all 30 like a dream, had everyone in the lanes asking me about it and even the girl in the lane next to me checking me out! 0///w///0 I'm actually pretty infatuated with this furniture currently: http://ironwooddesigns.com/STG47.html but i might just settle for RPK stuff that Ironwood also makes because RPK butt stocks look so much cooler than AK ones. I'd still like a thumbhole stock but DAMN THAT STG47 *drools*. But yeah, shooting my Saiga was one of the best things I've ever done in my life. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Automatikjack 1 Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) By the Ghost of Hugo Schmeisser! Talk about some fine crafting. Well... I am not sure if I want to use the word abomination or amazing if that was on an ak patter rifle, but in any case that's pretty damn cool.

JDeko 792 Posted October 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Yeah, I'll admit I'm not uber in love with the stock, and I dunno how an RPK stock would look on there but that forend and that pistol grip are two of the most beautiful things I've ever seen in my whole life!

Automatikjack 1 Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 I really like the way that the RPK stocks look as well. I guess I am similarly torn on what to use. I am just wondering about whether I want to weigh it down a little with wood or go for the maximum scarey/evil effect with all black stuff. I just get this weird feeling that when I see wood, I want to see it on an old battle worn looking gun instead of something new. Then again I do have wood on a brand new PTR91. Now that I think about it, a black laminate wouldn't look too bad. Check out this guys post, he got a kit from timbersmith and it looks pretty sweet, albeit a little pricey. http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?/topic/77401-pic-heavy-new-saiga-12/?p=766167 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDeko 792 Posted October 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 I love that PTR91, if I ever have the cash I want that exact model to be my third gun [after I get a 1911 for less embarrassing 'home defense' as in "I heard a noise! Could be baddy! *runs to check it out with gun*"] Do you have any info on how easy it'd be to grind AK-47 guards to fit a 12ga? I'm pretty hot for that STG47 but no custom orders. I really like how wood looks over tactical black plastic just because black poly makes me think too much of doomsday preppers and "vote from the rooftops!" types. Plus if you REALLY want to freak people out you want it to look as much like an AK as you can get. Which means that Yellow-Orange Tiger Maple furniture is kinda the scariest thing you can put on her.Granted, even with a black poly SVD stock and BP AK forend i got all sorts of attention and compliments at the range. It was like being the popular person in High School all over again! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Automatikjack 1 Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 A 1911 is on my list as well, but I have a well loved first .45 usp for tenderizing the unwelcome. I don't have an exact guide or the experience to tell you what the best way is to do it since I'm new to the ak scene, but it looks like a job for a dremel/slow sand to fit. I have an chinese sks with a heavily glossed bright orange stock. My first thought when I saw it was that it lookes like they made it out of orange chicken. Just look at the picture I posted. There's like 30 flashlights on that thing, that's gotta be terrifying! It seems like svd stocks are the cute puppies of the gun world, you can't help but like em. Everyone nerding out over each others guns is one of my favorite things about ranges. I've shot some amazing guns that way that I prolly wouldnt have otherwise, svd, WWII garand, mauser m1914, etc. I have a feeling that my s12 is gonna be good completion for the other attention whores in my collection lol.

JDeko 792 Posted October 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 And I'd not seen the STG47. Of course maybe in the future, if I do get the STG set-up, I could think of a way to mod an SVD-Style stock to match that look [at least fancy up the grip like the STG one] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
