Well, up to now, I have been very happy with my "California featureless" hybrid Saiga.
Then I was talking to my best friend yesterday. About four years ago, I sold him my last Saiga I restored that I called "plum crazy."
He put a Tapco Timbersmith set on it, and did not use the kydex paddle, preferring to use a radlock bullet button and 10 rounders. He asked me if I wanted the K-Var Nato length plum stock set, including Solar Tactical paddle back. I said Hell Yes!!!!! Of course, I am buying him lunch at a restaurant of his choice.
So today I ordered a Tapco G2 double hook FCG and a CSS bolt on handguard retainer. I already have a standard AK vented gas tube for the restoration. Life is good. The only difference from the one pictured above (the one I sold him back then) is that I am not replacing the FSB with a 24mm one and AK103 brake. I much prefer the Tactical Tri-Delta brake I have on it now.
I might add, this is the 5th or 6th Saiga I have restored in the last 8 or 9 years.... It is a disease!
