    Classic @Sarvo Had one in similar condition years ago. Nice wee rifles. Do you have the folding leaf sight still?

    Yes I do have it
    Was very afraid to take it off - but learnt the correct direction to tap it towards and - no problem
    I have another Hunter 222 also - it’s got the America Beaver Tail fore stock and it’s like new - think its 1956 a couple years younger.
    I will get it out 1 day and put on here.
    Got both of a chap that got them in form England – sure he on here somewhere watching

    So, my previously stock Saiga 7,62x39mm has received some upgrades, namely:

    * Mapgul Zhukov stock - as a tall person, the extra LOP is a welcome benefit, as is the "rubber" butt plate which ensures better adherence when in the shoulder.

    * Troy handguard - 6 slot M1913 / Picatinny rail for RDS + co-witness but main advantage for me is being able to move my supporting hand further forward than the stock handguard provided.

    * Magpul pistol grip - Bit chunkier than standard and dippled - with big hands this provides a more positive grip.

    * ALG trigger - By far the best mod, thoroughly recommend anyone with a Saiga AK to undertake this upgrade. It turns a long creeping shot release and trigger reset into a nice short and crisp one. For me it turned what I'd regarded as an average rifle into an enjoyable one.

    Pictured with and without Eotech 512 RDS mounted on UTG side mount.

    I am tempted to modernize mine too. The vanilla aesthetics cannot be denied but the vanilla ergos are shockingly bad.

    Did you consider going with the Magpul hand guard too? Looking to get the full furniture for my 223 Saiga AK. I have also been told the hinge on the stock can be problematic have you heard this?

    I sure did however a friend had this handguard lying around so used that instead. As for the stock and fitment - pretty straight forward, I encountered no problems.

    https://www.trademe.co.nz/1346495091 Just picked this up for 5k. Thinking of putting it into an HS3 chassis. Couldn't believe what I got in this auction. Thoughts?
