Wooden furniture for Saiga-308
| 
Mar 9 04:49 UTC 2013 |
This is a long-shot with this group, but my hunting rifle (Saiga-308
sporter) came with plastic furniture, and I would love the old look and
feel of wood. Does anyone have wood stock and fore-end for a Saiga-308
that they would sell for under 150$?
Did you convert your Saiga to have AK-47 ergonomics and no longer need
the lumber it came with? Let me take off your hands. Did you get wood,
but would prefer an all-black Monte-Carlo stock? I'll swap with you.
Sadly, the furniture for the 7.62x39, .223 and 5.45x39 do not fit the
huge 308.

Thanks. When googling for this previously, I saw these sources.
While Ironwood Designs has furniture for the smaller rifles of
intermediate calibers, they do not advertise one that fits the larger
receiver of the full-size hunting rifle (a thirty caliber rifle has a
large and heavy receiver, compared to a light-infantry / assault-rifle-
derived rifle).
saigariflestock.com does not seem to respond any more.
Searching gunbroker only turns up full rifles (I don't need a second one
at this point).
I really appreciate the pointer to these resources, though.

For those curious about the Saiga-308, here's the range report:
After dialing in the telescope (it was pretty far out of true when I got
the rifle), I was consistently hitting in the 9 ring on one of the
small round targets (like for a 22 -- roughly a two and a half inch
diameter ring) at maximum distance (40 or 50 meters). Practice at
longer distance (outdoor ranges) should hopefully have me competent to
go on safari by this autumn.
Venison (for the maybe once a week occasion I want meat) and horns for
the wall. More importantly, bonding with my coworkers and my brother-in-
law.

Ever find anything for this?
All I saw was this http://www.dinzagarms.com/saiga_308/saiga_308.html
There is a metric crap-ton of tacticool crap for these. Presumably the
people that buy this stuff take something else off. Lots of talk of
factory wood. But nothing available in any of the usual places.
How difficult would it be to make these using your current stock as a
guide?
