Pistol grips, fixed stocks for unconverted saiga

[staples 0]

I want to change out my saiga's factory stock to put towards making it 922r compliant. I don't want to convert it, I don't want to pay for it and I am unable to do it personally. Even if I did, no store has the stocks/grips to do so. It doesn't seem like any stores have physical inventory of a pistol grip and fixed stock set like ACE's. Tapco's is obviously a no go without blind pinning (for those unaware: detacheable mag + collapsible stock + pistol grip is banned). Where does everyone order their pistol grips and stocks to convert their saigas, or just make it 922r complaint.

 

This also is in regards to other firearm pistol grips and stocks I own, so I figured I'd put it in general rifles.

 

Thanks!

just going to be honest..

save your money.. you will only be making the gun worse..

 

the factory fire control group is horrid compared to a G2 (for example)

while the work may seem scary.. it is not..

I can't do any welding or grinding, I don't have the equipment nor any experience with it. Every gunsmith I talked to wanted more than what I paid for the rifle NEW to do it. So it doesn't seem worth it. I've fired converted saigas alongside mine and yea the trigger was better but I take time to aim my shots anyway. So I just need to know where I'd get the parts to change out the factory stocks and whatnot to make it 922r since nobody seems to ship here. Like where would the gunsmiths get it?

Carolina shooter supply ships here.

 

I agree with vlad, not converting the gun is a mistake. You can get a dremel from home depot for $50 or less and it will do all the gringing you need without issue. Not to mention come in handy many more times in the future for all kinds of stuff

 

 

I cannot emphasize enough how easy it is to do this conversion.

I thank you guys for you input. I'll see if I can maybe rent a dremel tool then. Time to read up all the writeups as to what parts I need to get beforehand then.

 

Looking at it again, this is not something I can do lol.

Start with this video. If you hose up anything, we can help.

 

 

Option 2: get a skeleton stock that came with some of the earlier rifles. No 922r to worry about and you have somewhat of a pistolgrip config.

[vladtepes 1,060]

you do not need to weld anything.. and you know someone who can lend you the tools..

to be clear.. the advantages are the fire control group and increase in overall balance of the gun.. it is a night and day difference..

Where can you buy the trigger n grip for reasonable price

I actually have the skeleton stock, I bought the rifle when they first started coming over for ~$279 new. I am on the edge at just using doing other things to make it 922r at the moment and doing the stock later or conversion later. Thanks for your inputs again. I know there is a notable difference.

 

One thing of note about converting is I don't think my reciever has the drill holes required for the pistol grip bolt which might be kind of annoying. The dremelling and reconstructing the fire control group concern me a little lol.

 

Nino, carolina shooter supply should have conversion kits and/or trigger and grips.

The pistol grip bolt comes through the same hole as your trigger does now.
