Here are some pics as well as a downloadable catalog for BRG3's custom furniture. He offers this catalog as an aid in placing an order for customized furniture for Saiga and other AK firearms. This is meant to be a general overview of styles and options from which you can choose. While it is thorough, it is not all-inclusive, so please feel free to ask about anything not mentioned here. New ideas or proposed modifications of my designs are welcome. Any items can be ordered individually or in a matching set.
Images have been assembled from various pictures taken over time. Some of them are items in progress and for purposes of this catalog seem to be the best way to represent the different styles. These should not be taken as representations of a finished product, rather a way to distinguish one style from another and give it a name.
BRG3's standard and preference is to sell items unfinished, ready for the buyer to apply the finish of his or her choice. Any finishing work by him would significantly extend lead time and may be subject to environmental conditions. A buyer has the most control over the end result when he can see the effect of the finish as he applies it. Avoiding finishing in-house allows him to offer lower prices in general and allows the buyer to put sweat equity into his project instead of additional funds.
Orders are placed by online communication. Quickest way to reach him is via email - BattleRifleG3. He also posts by the same name on every firearm discussion board in which he participates.
Products
Saiga Handguards
These handguard styles are designed to be direct replacements for the Saiga factory handguards. Any style can be lengthened or shortened to fit different Saiga models. Handguard vents are available on all styles as an extra cost option. Any variations or combinations of styles can be considered. The specific Saiga model must be identified when ordering. The only models that have interchangeable handguards are the Saiga 223 and X39.
Saiga Buttstocks
These buttstocks are designed to directly replace a Saiga factory buttstock with no modification to the firearm. These styles can be used on all Saiga rifles and shotguns, except the Saiga-100, which currently only has one style developed. As a default, these stocks will use a buttplate taken from a Saiga synthetic stock, but can be shaped to match a buttpad or buttplate provided by the buyer at no additional charge. Extra cost options include cheek rises and certain ergonomic enhancements.
Buttstocks for Stamped AKs
These buttstocks are designed to fit most stamped AKs, including Saiga rifles and shotguns converted to pistol grip configuration with a standard AK trigger group. Like the Saiga buttstocks, these can be shaped to fit any buyer supplied buttpad or buttplate. Cheek rises are also available options on these stocks. Finger grooves are available on the Dragunov and thumbhole stocks.
AK Pistol Grips
These grips are designed to offer ergonomics and styles typically not available for AKs, as well as styles similar to exotic grips that are typically cost prohibitive. Finger grooves, ambidextrous thumb rests, and metal ferrules are options available on all grip styles. These will fit Saiga rifles and shotguns converted to pistol grip configuration with a standard AK trigger group.
AK Handguards
These are military length handguards for stamped AKs. These same styles can be made for an AKM, AK-74, Yugoslavian AK, and with integral or clamp-on retainer for a Saiga rifle. When using a clamp-on retainer for a Saiga rifle, the handguards will be made in the AKM pattern, and the buyer will purchase his own retainer. When using either a clamp-on retainer or an integral retainer for the lower handguard, a gas tube with upper handguard retainers will have to be supplied by the buyer.
