nice job! It looks great. What trigger did you go with?

nice job! It looks great. What trigger did you go with?

I went with the Tromix Fire Control Group. I ordered all the parts from Mississippi Auto Arms.

Sweet tapco gangbang.

Great looking AK sartwell.
You said it was a conversion I take it that it was a Saiga.
What did you do to convert it?

 

[sprshggy07]

Looks nice. I'm hoping to order all the stuff to convert my .223 soon.

What did you do to convert it?

Yes it's a Saiga. I replaced the fire control group and trigger guard, and moved it forward where Kalashnikov meant for it to be. I then added the pistol grip where the trigger was and added the forearm and stock. I was a little nervous about cutting and gutting a new gun, but it was worth it.

Looks great! Did you install a bullet guide?

 

[sprshggy07]

Did you use one of the DIY trigger guards?

dont think to long, just do it!! My 5.45 saiga would fail to feed with out it using regular mags.

Did use a press on handguard retainer or the bolt on? I ask because I have a bolt on coming from dinzag for a 308 I'm converting( I used a press on for my x39) The rifle looks great, I wish mine was a dimple.

 

[Clay]

that style just bolts on.

 

[smitty12b]

that style just bolts on.

I just figured that out(got my glasses on) sadly, that's my only option for a 308 without a machine shop.

 

[Clay]

I kind of figured that. The barrel on the 308s is HUGE.

 

[smitty12b]

The 308 is .843 and the x39 is .656 at the handguard

awesome. i was just googling pics this morning of converted saiga rifles using the Galil style handguards. I'm ordering my saiga very shortly but probably wont get around to converting it till the summer. Nice job, this picture just got me real excited.
