What do you guys think of this concept I photoshopped? The ultimate versitile 20" Saiga!! (maybe not) It's a 20" Saiga 7.62x39 Ultimak front end Russian or other scope Russian Stock Harris or other bipod US AK 74 muzzle break US piston, FCG, mags I like the idea of being able to attach or detach the following: Side mount scope bipod scout scope/red dot side mount sling swivel front grip light/laser |
| I'd start with a Saiga 308 not the 7.62x39, and I'd use a vortex flash hider I think, and I'd want a bipod with legs no longer than the bottom of either the magazine I intended to use or the pistol grip, whichever is longer, as you want to be as close to the ground as possible. Poor mans SVD. |

I'd love to start with a 308, but I already have the 7.62x39. I'll definately heed your advice about the bipod, but unfortunately I can't add a flash hider. I can only add a break and it has to be pinned on or threaded and tack welded, which I'll do myself. I'll probably do the ultimak down the road a little, it's a few bucks. The more I look at my options and what I need to buy to change out the handguards, the more it makes sense because of the added options and capabilities. I don't want to press everything off, and I don't think I want the Tapco Galil. It's OK, but doesn't leave much room for your hand when a bipod is on. A quality bolt on retainer, gas tube, and hand guards adds up to a minimum of about $150-175 with shipping, and I won't have what I want. |

I kind of think that the factory stock is cheesy and ugly. I figured the ultimak would be a very stable platform for a bipod, or a front grip. You see M14's and other 20" guns with scout scopes all the time. This is going to be used at the range guys, not for clearing rooms...I hope.  I definately think a side mount sling attachment is way better than bottom mount. That said, I appreciate the input and I'm just trying to get ideas before I do anything. I only want to mod it once, if thats possible.  |
