I have been kicking around the idea of a saiga 308 for a while now. Before I jump in I have some questions.
Here's what I would like: Wood stock with cheek weld pad thing. Wood fore end (ak or sporter type). Railed top cover for aimpoint mount. Some type of flash hider. If I bought an imported bare bones saiga I would have to: replace the wood. Do pistol grip conversion. Buy 21inch bbl version and have bbl cut and threaded to like 16.3 inches. I don't care about fsp. New trigger? Top rail for optics. That's seems like a lot of work and money. I can't seem to find anything for sale that's even close. I like the veprs but can't stand the thumbhole stock and don't want to spend 1500 on a super vepr. This would be first ak variant and I'm fairly handy with tools. BTW all of this began because I got a great deal on an aimpoint comp 4 and need to put it on something. 
Dearest arfcom how should I proceed? |
you know what I would do? I'd get that Saiaga 308 and make it into one of these: but in 308 of course, and call it you Saibuk, or Tabua...it's a project I had in mind of doing myself actually. Ironwood doesn't make one for a stamped yet...but you may be able to talk them into one. FYI, the Draganov check pad fits on these  |

I'd just buy this rifle from Atlantic: Saiga 308 converted rifle. You can put any standard AK buttstock and grip on it.
Maybe this Saiga wood handguard. Then sent the front sight to DinzagArms. You'll still need to find someone to thread your barrel. |

So if I read dinzigs sight correctly I Think I can remove the fsb so that a 16 inch inch bbl could be threaded. Also that wood is purdy. The buttstock I'm looking for is like the sporter buttstock with cheek weild. Kinda like a monte carlo stock. I'm leaning towards the texas weapons system dog leg scope mount for a rail. |

This was his overview, if you didn't see: FSB removal They also sell the threading tools if you can do it yourself. If you haven't, check out/register on the Saiga-12 forums. It's dedicated to Saiga rifle and shotgun conversions. |
