Off topic: My "other" carbine

[imarangemaster]

Smokehouse has seen it already seen it on another board, but I just wanted to show it off. After all, it is a 16" Carbine of sorts! Since the doctor limited me on what I can shoot with this lousy shoulder, I traded off my 7.62x39 Ak for a Saiga in 5.56 that I restored to pistol grip form. I converted it where it uses 5.56 Galil magazines... It is almost as compact and handy as the M1.



Sorry, just wanted to show it off. I know there are a few AK appreciators here.

But is that considered a Birch or European Hardwood stock??????

Is the barrel original or did it get replaced in a post-war rebuild?

Do you prefer BLO or Toungue oil on that?

[imarangemaster]

Actually, it will eventually wear an eastern European handguard with a BLO finish!. As for the barrel, it is post war, though the steel on these Saigas is so hard, I think the Russians are using melted down WW2 tanks!

[gunner]

So it must be a good steel because they melted down German tanks!

So then, it will not be original. Humped parts, rebuilt. You didn't move to Modesto did you?

Haven't you heard? That is a russian clone of the top secret prototype XM1 carbine. One of two know to exist.The #1 is hidden somewhere in Modesto, Ca.

Actually it's currently being restored to it's former glory in the deep dark recesses of my workshop in South Texas.
When I finish it will look much like this picture but without the buttstock. I am too cheap to pay the $200 for an SBR.
Yep, that's 30 round carbine magazine and it will be in .30 caliber carbine. Just because I have the stuff to make it, it will be my version of an AK Pistol in .30 Carbine.

[imarangemaster]

True, Maybe it is a distant cousin to Bavarian Carbine, rebarreled by Erma Werke?

[gunner]

Maybe!
