thelosticon 0 Posted August 16, 2014 duracoat is finally dry, heres my latest mod, magpul REM 870 handguard on my saiga 7.62x39. the idea is not original, but I put my own spin on it. still undecided on an optic, I had a 1-6x variable on it but decided I don't need a magnified optic on this gun. I'm leaning towards the vortex strikefire II. the finish is duracoat rattle can in magpul olive drab for the handguard and half of the ergo stock, and the rest is duracoat rattle can in REM 870 black.

High Exposure 5,661 Posted August 16, 2014 Looks really good. Do you have details on the mod? How intensive is it? How does it attach? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thelosticon 0 Posted August 16, 2014 Looks really good. Do you have details on the mod? How intensive is it? How does it attach? The rear is attached to the original saga hole on the receiver using a piece of aluminum bar stock which I then tapped/threaded The front is attached using a barrel mount from Carolina shooting supply like so Its a rock solid two point attachment Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
High Exposure 5,661 Posted August 17, 2014 Thanks! I am hoping to get my hands on a Saiga eventually. I am debating between a .223 and 7.62x39 and waiting for panic prices to come down to ~$500 before I purchase. I like this mod a lot and may go this way when I convert.

thelosticon 0 Posted August 17, 2014 thanks man, good luck with your purchase. its certainly going to be interesting to see how this kalashnikov concern drama plays out, unfortunately I don't see a 500 dollar saiga on the very near future Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
High Exposure 5,661 Posted August 17, 2014 I am patient. Eventually folks will realize that they have a few too many AKs and need to offload. A lot like what is happening now with the ARs. If it happens it happens, if not..... Meh.... It's a want, not a need. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sticky Grips 4 Posted August 26, 2014 Someone makes a mount that allows a mid length moe ar15 handguard to an ak also Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
