Will any stamped style stock fit the .308 saiga?

[DNS]

Will any AK stamped stock fit the saiga 308 model? I am most interested in the Choate Dragunov type. Thanks

[CnRnut]

I've got one on my Saiga 308. It's not a perfect fit
but with a little work on your part,it will work.

What type of fitting is required on the Choate Dragunov type stock? Is it the stock or receiver that needs to be modified? Thank You

Mine didn't fit 100%. I needed to do some filing to the stock only
to get it to fit.
I picked up my Choate stock for @$30 shipped. At that cost I didn't mind a little "work" on her.

Picked up the stock off this board from a member.
It's hard to find what you want,when you want it.
I've learned to just buy what I think I'll need when
I see it.
Sorry I didn't help you much!!!
I think they run in the $50 range for the set.

The Russian made Saiga Dragunov stock is already on the market. I picked one up from Krebs for $65, and they're all over Gunbroker for $75. There are also a lot of Russian made Saiga side-folders on Gunbroker for $110-$129.

Now that 20 round mags are available, the 308 Saiga has proven to be quite a good deal.

If stock is Russian-made, what other parts, besides FCG are easy to replace on Saiga? Piston? That's four; what about bolt-carrier?

[Washington,D.C.]

The Russian made thumbhole stock is approved for import on new Saiga's.It works with the standard Saiga trigger not an AK trigger.It sits farther back than the Rimanian thumbhole stock.No US parts should be required unless converting the magazine.But then the US made AK trigger won't work.If you want the Russian Saiga thumbhole don't convert the mag and it should be good.The Russian Saiga thumbhole stock won't work on a standard AK without mods.

I've been thinking about picking up a 223 Saiga, and de-922R it to use with 30rd Galil mags. I'd love to put a folding stock on it.

The Russian Dragunov stock can legally be installed on a Saiga rifle as is. They are being imported with the Drag stock now, too.

I've read on other sites you can't install one on a Saiga shot gun without adding 6-7 US parts. They say the ATF considers the Drag stock to be a pistol grip on shot guns, but the old AWB ruling for rifles specifically states it is not a pistol grip. Strange, if true.

I bought a saiga 7.62x39 16" with the dragnov style rear stock new from my local dealer
I like it and wanted it instead of doing the conversion thing
I don't care about the "ak47 look"
just wanted a fun shooter
