How did you change the rear trunnion to a side folder? Or is that a drop-in? I can't tell. Looks great though. |

This is my 7.62x39 Saiga. It's set up for hog hunting. I'm using a Leupold VXR-Hog scope on it. The Stock is a Magpul MOE using a CSS M4 style tube adapter.
 This is a Definitive Arms .223 Saiga conversion. I changed the furniture on it. I put on a Bonesteel Arms left folding stock, a SAW type grip, and a Tapco Intrafuse front hand guard (I wasn't looking for something fancy, just something to add a rail).    |

It's well made and solid. I wanted a left folder so the rifle can be fired in the folded position with all the controls accessible. It clears the side mounted rail when folded but won't fold flat if a scope mount is on the rail. I'm thinking of adding a TWS rail on top to eliminate that problem. I got the sling swivel added for the extra $5. Well worth it. |

Kept the Saiga front sight, cut the sleeve off, and threaded the barrel 14:1 LH . Will give it a try tomorrow. |

This rig has done pretty well for me so far. It has a PWS comp, ACE stock, MI long rail, Bushnell TR25, and USPalm grip. I am hoping to get an email here soon so I can send her off to definitive arms for some awesome magwell awesomeness!! It also has the bolt hold open just above the trigger finger, which works well, but honestly only gets used during target breaks at the range. |

Hack saw. If you look at the sleeve, near the sight base, there is a ridge. Use that as a guide and cut around the sleeve a little at a time.
Threaded all the way to the sight. You have to use a muzzle device that is threaded deep enough to screw all the way to the sight. |

What was your starting platform and what modifications and items did you use? I really like your job you did and even the use of the surefire as my intentions are to try and suppress my own saiga.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By rockspyder: What kind of forearm is that on that Komifornistan Saiga? That looks like something I'd like to use. Does it attach similarly to the stock forearm? link It's a collaboration between Midwest and US Palm, although US Palm doesn't seem to have it on their site anymore, so I'm not sure what that means. It has mounting points for several optics. I have one to mount a Trijicon RMR on my AK-74 from a few pages back. I really like it. It mounts very securely on the gas tube and around the barrel. Lots of allen screws with locktite. Several thousand rounds later it shows no sign of loosening up. |

hello everyone, i recently purchased a saiga 7.62x39 rifle, the stock and pistol grip was converted, however i wanted to get the front end converted too,
i thought about doing it myself but im not sure if i would screw up the rifle or not, i have no gun smithing experience how much does it cost for just the front end, i don't feel like shipping it but i guess i can if i have to how easy is it to do myself? i believe my saiga already has a threaded barrel so i would be removing the fsb and gas block then re installing the new ones, but would i need to refinish barrel? , i checked out some tutorials on youtube like http://www.youtube.com/12gaugetim btw i live in eastern pa, so if anyone knows a place that does a good job on front end conversions that i can just drive to instead of shipping it to that would be awesome thanks for the help |

I assume you want a traditional two-piece handguard. You'll need a two piece lower HG retaining bracket (factory ones go on before the FSB so you need the two piece unless you want to do a lot of gunsmithing), hand guards, and I think you need a new gas tube. It's been quite a while since I've converted one but that should at least get you going in the right direction. You can probably find a gas tube cheaper and maybe some different furniture depending on what you're going for. |

the front conversion isn't too hard. I use hand tools and can do one in about an hour. That's replacing the GB and FSB with Bulgarian 74 ones and adding the lower HG retainer. I would recommend you check the hometown forum for someone in your area who has done this before and can help you out.

refinish depends on the parts used. Most likely you will not need to refinish the barrel.
