Putting a Harris bipod on a Saiga

[grammaton76]

So, I did this to a friend's Saiga several months ago, took plenty of pics, and just finally got around to writing a how-to about it. I figure some of you guys might be interested.

To make a long story short, it's how to convert the forward sling mount in the Saiga handguard, into a Harris-compatible bipod mount. The end results are ... well, incredibly neat.

Thanks grammaton.

But, why?

But, why?

The guy I did the mod for is on disability and has some issues with fine motor control on one of his arms. Thus, a bipod made it much easier for him to use his rifle.

But, I will admit that part of me irrationally desires to perform the same conversion on my 308 trunk-Saiga...

Ah, makes sense now. Thanks.
