Not bad.
20 mags X $10 - $200 rail - $25 m4 stock  - $50
You got a Saiga for about $500. I wouldn't complain unless the barrel is trashed. |

I'll be the dissenter: Check someone else's factory stock first. I find the original stock to be of good length but it totally digs into my shoulder in a way that AR stocks don't.
I think you did very well and would not change anything. |

$800 for a converted Saiga seems rather high to me. You do get a lot of mags with it. |

I've never had any of those complaints with my AKs in the tens of thousands of rounds I've put through them. The AK has a lot of great features, but the furniture was never one of them. Narrow stock + metal buttplate = uncomfortable. This is not a new problem. There are certain features the AK needs to bring it up to the standards of a modern fighting carbine. There's nothing wrong with that. What's irritating are the fanboys who insist the decades old design is perfect, and scream bloody murder when you change something. I love 1911s, but the recent changes that have been made to the original are great. -extended beavertail/grip safety -checkering -grips -night sights |

Jesus Christ.
he just bought the gun, he didn't build the fucking thing from scratch. To answer the question that was asked before all the turd-to-noise ratio occurred.....yes you got a deal on a good rifle. One of the better AK's you can buy now. Whether he keeps the stock on the gun or not, it is worth about $200, with about $200 in mags....and it is a factory SGL rifle that goes for about $800 new. So the answer to the question posed is indeed, yes. |

Great deal on a great rifle. As an owner of a triangle stocked Bulgarian AK74, having the AR butt stock on there looks strange to me. In reality, the AK's really do need an adjustable butt stock and the stock being used on there is one of the better ones. so I would just leave it on and shoot it that way. Be sure to use lots of hot soapy water when you scrub it down after shooting, and make sure you get the muzzle brake and the gas tube.
