For those of you like myself who have no talent or are unskilled with power tools and are wanting a PG stock set for you saiga check out this website. Russian American Armory Saiga Skeleton Stock - Tromix Shark Brake - Saiga 12 Gauge 10 Round AGP Magazine
They have PG sets that don't require receiver mods at all. They are U.S. made some of which count as 3 U.S. parts. Just thought there would be some interest. No need to reply...Lately most people havent been anyway. I must have B-O or something.

Perhaps the goodies will be available in February?

I prefer BRG3's wood stocks, but that's just me, I'm a wood and steel kinda guy.

I agree with toolman, and so do the folks at The Military Channel.

The Military Channel has an ongoing series (sorry, but I don't remember the name) that matches up, compares and contrasts and evalutes to determine which is/was better, various weapons and vehicles and airplanes and such. One matchup they did recently was the AK-47 vs the early production M-16.

The Poodle Shooter came out ahead on innovation, quantity of ammo that's easy to carry and accuracy. The AK came out ahead on reliability, hitting power (their test shooter put a round through six inches of kiln-dried pine at 100 meters; the slo-mo pictures were very impressive as the bullet came tumbling out of the clamped-together pine 4x4s in a spray of splinters) and suitability for hand to hand combat.

It beat the Jam-A-Matic in the last category hands down, because the Vietnam-era M-16 stocks and forearms were made out of a brittle fiberglass compound that would break if you struck something hard with it. The wood furniture of the AK with that steel buttplate, on the other hand, hold up very well to butt-stroking somebody or whacking them in the forehead.

And besides which, there is simply something about a wood stock that gives a weapon character. Call me foolish if you will, but I think it gives some (by no means all) rifles a soul. I've gotten that feeling from a number of military and hunting rifles, all older ones, that I have handled. I've never gotten it from one with a plastic stock. Don't ask me to explain it better than that, because I can't. To me, that feeling does count for something. I much prefer wooden stocks to plastic or metal ones.
