Latest Saiga Build

#1

Post by SDenton »

Image

Started with a 7.62x39 Saiga rifle:
* G2 trigger (polished)
* Reused trigger guard (riveted back on)
* Ironwood Birch Laminate Furniture with Shellac
* Bullet Guide
* Lower Handguard Retainer (not bolt-on)
* New (surplus) Gas Block with Bayo lug
* New FSB
* New (surplus) Gas Tube
* Threaded barrel & Installed Slant Brake
* Degreased, Media Blasted, Cerakote'd and Baked in Black Graphite
* Shortened/rethreaded Cleaning Rod.
* Polished Bolt Carrier

I believe that's everything. The photo doesn't do it justice unfortunately, need to try and take a better picture. Think it came out OK.
