Please share with us how to mod Csspec mag to be used in both Vepr and M77ps. Thanks.


I know Vepr (Csspec) mag is wider - but not sure by how much.

Csspecs V308 mag to M77

More pics will come with explanation. Computers were not part of my generation but I am learning slowly. There are Gen 1 and Gen 2 Csspecs V308 mags.The Gen 1 is easier to mod. I only had to dremel front lug.

Csspecs mags front

From left to right. Gen 1 with mod, Gen 2 no mod, Gen 2 with mod. Notice how the Gen 1 is squared on the upper front reenforcement corners. The Gen 2 is rounded. On the Gen 1 all I did was dremel the face of front lug and take a little off the top of lug.

 

[WRATHCHILD]

Csspecs mags rear lugs

From left to right Gen 1( no mod necessary) , Gen 2 no mod, Gen 2 with mod. Notice how the rear lugs are mounted between the different Gens. You can see on the Gen 2 with mod where I removed metal to make fit. I dont think removing the metal underneath the lug was necessary.

Csspecs mag side view rear lug blocks

From front to rear. Gen 1 no mod necessary, Gen 2 no mod, Gen 2 with mod. Notice the difference in thickness of rear lug mounting blocks. The Gen 1 is much thinner. I removed alot of metal above the lug for fitting on Gen 2.

What stock is that? That looks great. Is there a wood stock like that with or without the thumbhole available?

 

[Sirex]

Looks great. We need to get the .308s out for a playday.

Thank you. I believe it is one of the old school Romy G thumbhloes. Its made out of Commie plywood. Heavy and strong. I took the recoil pad from the factory stock and screwed it on to give length absorb recoil and balance rifle. I coated the stock and handguards with rubberized Leak Seal from Home Depot. The hardest part was modding the standard squareback AK stock to fit rear of M77. I drilled all the way through the stock to use factory bolt to rear of m77 receiver. I also drilled another hole to put screw up through grip.

So is the M77 legal because it it RPK based? So Saiga'a and vepr's in 308 and 7.62 x 54r good to go?

 

[Meditator]

Don't know about Saiga, but Verp 308 and 7.62x54 are good to go. However, you just have find FFL holder who is willing to do transfer for you at reasonable cost.

 

[Sirex]

They SHOULD be legal, as they are in their imported, sporter configurations. All my Saigas and Veprs have been purchased unregulated, legally. Depends on the FFL ultimately. There are a few on here that sell them, Duffy's being one I believe.

 

[hairba111]

When I bought my Saiga, it was cash and carry. Now it's considered an AK, illegal in Communist Maryland.

 

[Donkey]

I guess PLS's should be good to go too then? I am going to be soo broke this year!

 

[Mr.B]

I just wish the m77s would be imported with straight cut receivers but a man can always dream.

 

[TheDevilHimself]

We have more M77s inbound...

No, Sirex explains below:

Well it is not especially when Vince is selling a sporter AK in this thread here.

If you get it you have to remove the muzzle brake and make suse there is no bayonet lug.

 

[Scott7891]

I would remove the muzzle brake if I were you. It is technically illegal to have one on since they are not allowed on imported rifles and you have to follow federal import laws to be Maryland complaint.
