EDIT: I will keep this open for the time being, then close it later to make a new WTB for the AK-100 Push Button Recoil Spring Guide (Purchased two spring guides). I might settle for an American made reinforcement plate, and I can set aside more magazine collecting for later as I have a newer Izhmash AK branded (modern production) and a 1st Gen ribbed polymer magazine.

Thanks to everyone who helped my dream of owning an AK-103 come ever closer to reality!


I'm looking to finish part collection for a future Saiga 7.62 conversion to an AK-103. There is only a few parts I am missing, so I will separate the items I need into two categories. First being essential, and the second being wishlist items that are much more uncommon but not needed for the conversion. I also have some trade items listed below if anybody is interested.

Items needed:
  • Russian AK-100 push button recoil spring (Picture)
  • Russian AK-100 reinforcement plate
  • Russian AK-103 chrome-lined muzzle brake (Picture)
  • Russian AK-100 tick mark 1000m rear sight.
  • Russian AK-100 safety selector
  • Russian AK-100 folding stock latch, pin, and spring
  • Ak-100 or Saiga ~15" 7.62 cleaning rod

Looking for (wishlist):
  • (R) AK-74M chrome-lined muzzle brake
  • Izhmash modern enhanced pistol grip (w/ or w/o plate cut-out)
  • x2-3 AK-103 polymer slab side magazine or one ribbed minimum (referring to polymer slabs with Izhmash mold logo with white [y] proof stamp)

Items for possible trades:
  • Magpul AK black furniture set (Zhukov hanguard, MOE AK+ pistol grip, MOE stock)
  • FIME 2-stage trigger group
  • Saiga conversion trigger guard and bolt-hold open modified Tapco G2 FCG
  • Machined clone Diemaco BUIS (no logo) made by John Brace
