supermonkey,I saw your picture (under the "Looking for a 45acp" topic) of the Russian Saiga with enough US parts to give it that legal pistol grip.One thing, if you buy one be prepared to do the following: drill vent holes in the gas tube and drill plenty of holes in the forearm grip.I have the Saiga--which is what this is and has the same forend--if you empty a 30 round clip or two, the gas tube and block heat the hand-guard enough that you won't be able to hold it (unless you're really "into pain"). It is a nice configuration, and some of the prices I've seen look REALLY good--I'll probably be getting one, but will do the ventilation, like I've done with my Saiga, before firing it.Kalishnikov (sp?) USA, did advertise something they called (I think) the AK-103, which showed a standard type AK fore-grip, but I've only seen the Saiga style "sporter forearm" advertised for sale.
