So I needed to build a rifle to have as a display model since I do a lot with AK rifles. This one started life as a saiga sporting rifle in 7.62x39 as seen here.

Sorry bout the stolen photo but I didnt do any before shots. So after stripping the rifle, removing the base plate, moving the fire control group forward, modding the hammer to accept the bolt hold open, repainting, modding the mag latch to accept standard AK mags, adding a quad rail, AFG, pistol grip, AR stock adapter and a BUS stock and a few other touches we have the very first no I aint gonna sell it but I'll build you one Aces Firearms AK47.

Sorry bout the picture quality I just couldnt get the camera to quit acting up.

Nice work. How do those Saiga sporting rifles shoot? I wasn't aware they made sporting rifles. You definitely have some skills brother.

"Guns scare me"
How a grown man can be frightened of an inanimate object is beyond me. But I guess it takes guts to admit it.

Hoplophobia (from the Greek ὅπλον - hoplon, meaning amongst others "arms"[1] and φόβος - phobos, "fear") is defined as the "fear of weapons" and as the "fear of armed citizens".

Thanks for the kind words everyone. Ohin the sporting rifles shoot great if you're thinking about grabbing one dont hesitate. Grizz I for sure work on the 1911 series, thats another one I need to build a display for.

Nice ! I sold both of my Hungarian AMDs and a Yugoslavian RPK to finance pipemaking tools :crying:

I plan to replace them with Saigas though :D

I've done the mods to my Saiga 12, its a sweet little shotgun. I call it "The Tenderizer"
