So ever since I cut off the front sight, I've been on a mission to try and cowitness with backup sights. The problem was that the ultimak and tws are not on the same plane, so I raised the ultimak .28 inches to rise to the tws level. the backup sights are from chaos USA.















 

I just did a wicked double take when I saw "x39 in Harley orange". Thought I had opened the wrong forum....

 

How did you raise the front sight? Spacer block?

its actually the top half of a Yankee Hill Gas Block Riser (YHM-230)

The more I see that 870 fore-end mod the more I like it.

Sorry, I can’t offer any advice on the cowitnessing issue but I have to say it’s very nicely done. Is that the .223 or 7.62? And with the rounds peeking out of  bottom of the mag  I have to ask is that your mod or is Tapco offering a special 2-sided mag for ban states? I hope you get the sights worked out to your satisfaction. Again, very nice build

I dunno why but the more I look at it also, I'm liking it more and I'm not even a fan of those rifles. Nice work.

thanks everyone

its chambered in 7.62x39, the mag is my own mod. its made up of 2 10 round tapcos with cut down followers to make it 15x each. the floor plates are eliminated, instead I use my own proprietary double sided floor plate that also acts an internal coupler, final shape and size is identical to a 30 round steel mag

Nice, If you ever mass produce them I'm sure you could unload a few here. Again nice job all the way around

I have about a dozen or so, but could easily make more... I had them listed here in the marketplace a while back to try and gauge the interest.... but no bites

Could you post the link to the how-to on making that 870 forend fit the Saiga?

I don't think theres a definitive how to per say, but ill try and post any relative info

 

this is the post on saga 12 that I originally came across and inspired me to try this http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?/topic/93061-first-ak-sbr/

 

also another user from saga 12 http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?/topic/92200-my-different-x39/

 

There is some significant dremil work as well as body filing with jb weld. I would say the hardest part is the body body filling work. I don't think any of those other members at saga 12 forum did that part of the mod, but it really is important to give it a clean look and a tight fit around the rear sight block

 

This is the handguard mount from carolina shooters supply http://www.carolinashooterssupply.com/product_p/css-bc-small-flat.htm

 

hope these help

 

 

 

Sweet, thanks. I've seen those posts and also the vid from Fitty. I'll have to give this a try.
