Saiga buttstock for conversion?
Planning on converting my new Saiga 132 and browsing the options. I like the hogue pistol grip, but they don't make an original style buttstock.
I'm looking for something more 'solid' feeling that the stock hollow plastic buttstock. Considering k-var (model #AK-020BUSW) and a few others but looking for some opinions. For example, is this model hollow too? Are there other good options around that price point ~$50? Ace makes a good looking skeleton around $80, but that's a little expensive.
Don't need a folder or a skeleton, although would consider if I found a good price on a great stock. Original style seems fine. People seem to think Tapco is a little flimsy. But I'll take any recommendations.
Any and all suggestions welcome.

I'm considering one of these not sure what the recoil would be like.'It is Their Right, It is Their Duty, To Throw Off Such Government '

I always liked the ace skeleton stocks but they are kind of on the expensive side. They are made rock solid. I ended up put one on my saiga 12 and love it. I also put a hogue grip on. Sorry for the crappy pic.

I have a "standard AK " Tapco rear on my one S-12, it stands up to 3" buck just fine. So as far as "flimsy", I haven't seen it.
On the other S-12 I went with the folding ACE. Locks up solid and with the 1" rubber as opposed to the 1/2" it fits me perfectly. While it was/is one of the pricey options that are out there I don't think you can get a more sturdy folding stock that is easy to install.
I've also used the K-VAR standard AK buttstock and it did the job, looked better than the TAPCO but realistically was the same functionality. As for the model you have listed I think that one is hollow but honestly its been so long that I could be remembering wrong.
If you are worried about "hollow" feeling you can always spray foam the inside. Its kinda messy but then it doesn't sound hollow.The resident Saiga snob
