Saiga .223 Conversion Pics

[Guest RCLARK]

I recently picked up a RAA Saiga 223 in a trade and decided to convert. This was my first experience with any AK variant rifle. I just finished a AR build a few weeks ago and went fairly "clean" with the build. I figured I'd go a little further with some tacticool stuff on the Saiga. I usually like all black, simple, clean rifles but I had a safe full of "stuff" that I had picked up here and there.

Its growing on me....but I've already started thinking about toning it down a bit. Also thinking about either a sniper stock or a .75 cheek rest for the CTR. Also not crazy about the optic....but its what I had. The gun is so tall it wont fit in my long gun slots in the safe without taking the scope off and mag out.

Before....

During....

Very nice. I know just enough about the AK to get myself in trouble, but I like it.

Love it! I guess Technically, being a .223 would disqualify it from being an "actual" AK before all the AR stuff got bolted on. Then the Saiga had plastic furniture to begin with. So really, if you think abut it, I just finished turning it into the AR that it already almost was.
