TxSaigaHunter · 09-17-2009, 03:27 PM

Well hello everyone! I am a proud new saiga owner and new to this forum too. I bought this rifle about 3 weeks ago at a local gun show here in texas everything is stock except for the mag and gas piston which i believe makes it legal unless that factory stock is considered a pistol grip.(if so i guess the only other thing to replace would be the trigger) I should have my scope and scope mount in the mail early next week will update when it is on. Thanks for looking and ill see ya around

Welcome to Gunco...Nice looking saiga Have you thought about modifiying it more then just the mag?

TxSaigaHunter · 09-17-2009, 03:39 PM

well yes and no. I do want to modify it and make it look as cool as some of the others on here but then again i love the stock on it and havent seen to many like this. so i may end up buying another one with the black synthetic stock so i can fix it up.

I didn't think to try that, but most people don't put that info in, it's usually generic.

Did you get to shoot it yet?
I've been thinking of getting a 223 model after seeing some of the groupings with hand loads.

I like it. That stock kinda gives it that sinister look!
