Hmm... Not too cool with removing the tang, as is required with this block. It would be nice to have something that didn't require a perminant modification. Maybe I just have to wait for a .223 in black synthetics to get sold in NZ.

Love the grain on that wood stock! ACE make a receiver block for the VEPR, from what I can find out the VEPRs are milled so I don't suppose they'd fit a 223 without modification. Would this be another solution?

The FALs (or SLRs as we know them as) are popular here, and there are still a few being traded. If your ever after advice or parts try this forum IMAS there are a lot of SLR collectors/shooters posting there. But back to the wooden stocks, the more I shoot it the I think I should keep it standard. It's a very comfortable stock. I was hoping the mag would just have a block in it to restrict capacity, but no it's been hacked in half.

The wood is nice but I'm more of a black plastic sort of guy. A Dragunov might fit, depending on where its anchored. The current wooden stock is bolted at the top of the receiver and through the pistol grip. Some interesting options above though! I forgot to mention the butchered 5 round magazine that it shipped with. Looks like it has been cut in half and had the baseplate riveted on. Sporting rifles in NZ are limited to 5 rounds, also no PGs, flash surpressors, bayonet lugs or folding stocks. -PP

We can get them here in New Zealand. They are around $800 NZ Dollars (Glock 17 = $1100), so I guess they would be pretty cheap in the US ($561) if you could get them! Russianz.biz

Hi, New on the board and I was after some advice. (Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere, but a search didn't find anything) I have just taken posession of the below Saiga-M (mmm.. factory oil smell) and I would like to know what options I have for stocks since the receiver has a 45 degree chunk taken out of it. I'm limited (legally) to what I can do in New Zealand to the rifle, but new furniture would be first. Thanks for any tips - PP
