Classical AK design with the wood furniture or "tacticool". YOU decide.

[deerpark 83]

Think I'm gonna jump on the hype band wagon and grab a Saiga. 

 

Once I get it, it'll need to get converted. 

 

I'll go with whichever one gets the most "votes".

 

So which path should I choose, the "classic" look

 

 

or "tacticool"?

 

 

[seamusSU 0]

Classic. If you want tacticool build an AR

[Sticky Grips 4]

Classic with a receiver mount scope rail.

[silverado427 10,731]

Classic with blonde furniture. 

[checko 180]

I want to do dark red furniture but still put a h-1 my Yugo.

[JT Custom Guns 957]

Classic never goes out of Style!

I'll just leave this here, I'm sure you can figure out my vote from the link.

I have IWD with Russian Rust on mine

[Krdshrk 3,877]

I wanna go with the classic wood look for my Saiga too.

[NYMetsFan86 9]

Ninja ....everything. ...

[lunker 274]

One of each of course

[BlueLineFish 615]

I have my one ak with battlefield pickup furniture and my saiga will be tacticool. My third saiga 7.62 will most likely go up for sale

[Screwball 483]

Black polymer doesn't equal tacticool... plus it saves A LOT of weight.

 

I picked up a nice wood set for my WASR, with the dong forend, but ultimately went with the polymer. Happy I did, but have had a wood set sitting in my office for about a year. You'd think it would be easy to sell, but that is not the case.

 

Decide first and buy once.

[tuktuk 16]

if u are getting a range toy then classic is the way to go .

if u are planning to take classes with it then choose functionality .

[vjf915 456]

You decide.  If you plan to clean it after every outing, and never plan to beat on it, then definitely go with the wood.  If you plan to go to fun shoots with it, and really beat on the rifle...then you may not want to beat up a nice wood set.

[Absent Anima 0]

How much for the wood set screwball?

[Screwball 483]

Sent you a PM, as not to clutter up deerpark's thread.

[SuRrEaLNJ 294]

is tasteful tacticool a thing? i  dont like tacticool guns with rail mounted sporks and a blender, but i tend to favor ones with functional mods.

 

or if its an option get two and go each way

[deerpark 83]

Well, if I go classic (leading in the polls), what are my options with regards to mounting a sight?

As long as you have a AK side mount rail

[mipafox 438]

I don't consider that brake "classic."

 

Go Red Dawn or go back to Cuba.

I have the same mount on my saiga. I like it.

 

I'd go classic. I got mine with poly and I'm about to finish swapping for wood. I did get an extra gas tube and in going to add a rail to my poly hand guard for a forward grip that I can change out when I want.

 

 

The wood stock is on now but I still need to drill the holes.

If not they sell the side mount on Amazon and a million other places. Its not expensive or difficult to mount to the receiver. And its also what belongs on the rifle. It functions like it was meant to without having to overthink anything. A Russian engineer already did the hard work for you.

[Blacksmythe 71]

modern AK's are cool! 

[Pew Pew Plates 358]

classic

They are purdy

[deerpark 83]

Who in NJ does the conversions? 

[vladtepes 1,060]

Who in NJ does the conversions? 

 

do it yourself.. after I did a few they took about an hour MAX.. very easy.. 

[DeerSlayer 241]

Definitely a project most should be able to do on their own, pretty simple with minimal hand tools. There are a dozen YouTube videos that illustrate the entire process.

[ogfarmer 138]

Who in NJ does the conversions? 

its so simple, needle nose, a drill, youtube, lighter, dental floss (method I did not use), High temp black engine paint, and some punches and its done in less than 45 min.

 

I wish I picked up another or two because it was fun to do.

[deerpark 83]

That include moving the trigger pack, thats not too difficult?
