    .308 AK

    I've been wanting to do something different for fun and had a bunch of extra parts so I just got started without a plan. I posted some pics a while back when I was moving the fire control group. If I did it all again I would do some things differently but I am getting a smile on my face as I look at this rifle. It was the long barreled Saiga .308 originally. I had this used U.S. made walnut furniture, pistol grip etc. I actually had the matching walnut grip and broke it by being impatient. I was trimming it to fit around some extra rivets in the reinforcement plate I added.

              Nice Bob. Can you please explain what you did with the front end there? Thanks.

                  Nice job; if you can post any more picture or details of the work you did, I'd be interested.

                  I'm going to keep an eye on this as I need to do something with mine.

                      Thanks Tom. I cut the 22" barrel to 16" and crowned it and threaded it to 14x1 LH (whatever a Romy is) so I could use the AK 47 style muzzle brake. The lower handguard retainer is from a Yugo M70 and is reamed out to fit the .308 barrel. The gas tube and front sight base are from a Romy as far as I know. I used the original Saiga gas block so I don't have the bayonet mount or the extra support for the cleaning rod. Like I said, if I do another one I'll plan it out ahead of time and do it differently. That also means I would spend money on the parts I would want instead of using stuff I have laying around.

                          Thanks, if you do a search of other posts by me you might find the pistol grip conversion and the remedy for the hammer hitting the center support on a .308.

                          I found it- http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/s...d.php?t=255455
