I thought I would add this one too... Its not a Saiga... its my WASR10... but its been dressed up a little bit... I just swapped out lower handguards a few minutes ago... I didnt think that the lower would match up with the upper, but I took some of my wood refinishing oil out, and some steel wool, and buffed it up a little bit... I think it matches the upper handguard pretty well after all, and if I bothered to take the time to strip the thumbhole, and rework that, I think I could get the whole set to look pretty sweet!
I also like the tantal style brake... Its sort of a hodgepodge rifle, but then again... all my rifles tend to be... but hey... they are CUSTOM... and mine... and I like em that way!!

Here mine, got it used for $175 off a friend who only fired 20 rounds through it. Today I got all these accessories, I hadn't realized how many things were available for these. I know the 30 round mags weren't around last year.

Jeez, you went all out on that! You even got a receiver with dimples!

That looks like one the modern AK-1xx series. Nice job!

Thanks guys. The dimples and X-Y stamps on the Saiga were my inspiration. I knew this one had to be special so I decided to go all out and build it up as an AK-103.

-Global Trades 24mm Muzzle Brake
-Bulgarian AK-74 FSB, GB, Lower HG Retainer and Gas Tube. The Saiga 7.62x39 barrel has the same dimensions as a Bulgy AK-74 apparently.
-Used a "keyhole cutter" to mill out grooves in the side of the barrel for the lower handguard retainer.
-US black handguards and pistol grip.
-Russian late model 1000m rear sight leaf.
-Arsenal USA Match Gas Piston
-Bulgarian riveted bullet guide. The one from K-VAR is for milled guns so some cutting was required. Had to mill out a groove in the floor of the rear trunnion to make this fit.
-When I pulled the barrel to fit the bullet guide I had to replace the "3rd rivet".
-Installed a Bulgarian AK-74 trigger guard but used the original Saiga release tab so it would look factory. Also filed side of base to match profile of the factory selector stop.
-Arsenal USA trigger and disconnector, saved the Saiga hammer because of the peculiar fit of the bolt locking device.
-Spot welded a pistol grip reinforcing plate on.
-Russian AK-100 series sidefolder. It's really silly that these Russian ones can be had for less than the US-made ones K-VAR is selling.

My only regret is not having the welding skills to cover the old holes in the receiver. Maybe I'll take a class.

Great work man. Just get some of those nylon hole plugs from Lowes or the hardware store. They pop right in and look just like rivets. Damn I wonder how many timers I've said that...

The worst part is that is a 75rd, Centerfire is advertising a 100rd one...all I gotta say is good luck inserting it that 75rd one is tricky at best. BTW they arn't worth it that one dosen't feed to save its life, all show and no go

[Cobra 76 two]

Dude that ain't nothin...I've seen some (100 rd I think) that go all the way to the muzzle and have a loop on the end to hook over the bbl to hold the heavy ass sucker up...lol.
I cant see how that one can keep from flopping around and getting weak ay the insertion point.

Hey came out nice, I dont like tumhole stocks, but that one really looks
cool and I dont know but really looks good with the hand guard and
gas tube guard too, I mean it really looks good on the Saiga.

Thanks! I wanted it to look like a classic Russian AK, and to me the thumbholes look more "traditional/unique." I know that many of the other countries have started doing thumbhole stocks (Maadi=Egyption, SLR-95=Bulgarian, SA-85=Hungarian, NHM-90=Chinese, Romak=Romanian, etc.) but each has their own unique design and usually the lineage can be identified by the type of thumbhole stock. The PG+Stock is so much more common, I feel it doesn't say as much about the gun, but that may just be because I can't tell the difference between a SAR 1 and an AKM-47. That's not meant to insult anyone else's PG+Stock conversion, I still think they're gorgeous, I just wanted something that is more distinguishable to the common collector. A true AK connoseur probably could tell the difference, I just don't know how.

I wish I could have found a true Russian wood thumbhole, but I believe only Dragunovs and the Vepr use thumbholes. Both are more expensive (if even available) and neither would fit the Saiga receiver without modifications. So I went with the top of the line Hungarian to try to keep the haughty personality a Russian AK deserves. If my gun's mistaken for a SA-85, I won't be offended, but if someone really takes the time to notice they'll realize it's a hybrid of two of the nicest AKs made. But there's no mistaking it for anything but top of the line.

I hate to be "that guy" but is that 922 compliant? Pretty gun, no doubt, but I think with a foreign magazine (unless you replaced the trigger group and piston) you're not compliant. You may want to double check just to be sure you don't get in trouble.

[hellgrün-K]

That is a pretty trippy sofa.

Oh, and +1 on what AegisDei said.
