  1. The truth about WASR 10/63's

    in Other AK Rifles

    Posted

    I have owned a WASR for many years and it has always been 100% and I was always confused by all the hate sent their way. Just the other day I picked up another from a private sale for a great price. It had the tang cut and an ACE folder installed. The price was so low for two reasons. The front sight was cranked the whole way over to one side to counter the canted tower and when the ace block was instaled he forgot or was unable to get the second screw and nut in.

    Well just tonight I striped it down and beat on it till I was able to get the block out and install the second nut and screw, I then went to work on the front sight tower. I was going to remove the pins and try and get all fancy, but I used a vice and a rubber mallet. It looks close and I hope it shoots as well as my other one.

  2. Considering downsizing; thoughts?

    in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!

    Posted

    I am going through the same thing. I have gone back to school to get a degree, so no money! So I went through the collection and looked at the stuf that I dont use and thought I would sell and streamline. Well after the smoke had cleared, I find I now have more then I started with??? Now I have 2 AR's insted of one, 5 Ak types insted of 4, and a pistol in .357 sig??? ( I plan on a .40 bbl & maybe a 9mm bbl). Trading guns can be fun.

  7. .45, .40 or 9mm

    in Other Weapons - HANDGUNS

    Posted

    I would like to add my .2 . I own 3 9mm's and 3 .45's and several other calibers. I voted 9mm for a first auto pistol. If the Glock ergo's work for you they are very reliable and have lots of support from the after market. I would also look at the S&W M&P series. I find they fit my hand much better then my glocks, I have fired 2000 rds from the 9mm M&P and 1500 rds from the .45 M&P with zero issues. My G19 has also been trouble free as has my Taurus 24/7. In fact the only issue I have had was with one of my 1911's and that was only one mag that was bad. The bottom line is this. We have several wonderful choices in the auto pistol market. Try as many as you can and buy what you like.....then buy some more and shoot shoot shoot and have fun!

  8. Finally found mag pouches worth buying!

    in Saiga Weapons - General Discussion

    Posted

    has anyone had any recent dealings with the maker of these? I sent an email back when the thread was new and asked him to make some pouches for me, but have sent several emails after that to inquire about my order. I have not sent any money and am not out anything but time. Maybe he changed his email or somthing like that? If anyone has good contact info or knows of another source for a mag carrier of this type, I would be grateful.

    Thanks Russ

  10. H&R Pardner Protector

    in Other Weapons - SHOTGUNS (non-AK based)

    Posted

    You may also want to check out the Hawk 997 or 998 not sure what number. Same shotty but the reciver is the same profile as the 870. It is a norinco same as the pardner's. The weight is a little less without the hump the pardners have. I got one for around the same price ($179.00 + fees) with the ghost ring sights, Very nice for the money and then some. Great deal. Barrels will interchange between the two. Stocks from the 870 will also fit.

  11. Falcon Arms Folding Stock

    in Saiga Rifle Conversions

    Posted

    Yes, the "youth, vest model" model would be the shorter of the two. I have one on my Romy AK.

     

     

    Thanks for the reply Azrial, Do you think the vest / youth model is about the same size as warsaw pact stock? I am ok with the length of pull on the warsaw length, but if the youth model is shorter than that it may be too short. Thanks Russ

  13. Falcon Arms Folding Stock

    in Saiga Rifle Conversions

    Posted

    Please forgive me for bringing this thread back from the dead. I have a question about the two folders that they make. The first they say is an extended nato length. the second they call a youth , vest model. would the second one be a warsaw pact length? I am looking to get two of these one for my S12 before the Tapco breaks and another for my WASR. I am good with the Warsaw Pact length stocks. Thanks for any replies. Russ

  19. side folding stocks-options

    in Saiga-12

    Posted · Edited by DANGERRUSS

    Has anyone seen both the Falcon and ACE external side by side to give some feedback as too quality and length of the external block? I was looking at the ACE but for the $70.00 savings I would consider the Falcon if it is a quality product.

     

     

    edit: Az have you compared your stock with an ACE folder with the external block? What are your thoughts?

  20. 7.62 vs .308 conversion

    in Saiga .308

    Posted

    I have just completed the conversion of my 7.62 from the sport format to the AK format. I am very pleased with the outcome. Parts were easy to come by and information that I had on "how to" was exceptional.

    I am looking to do a conversion on a .308, I have been researching parts such as the FCG, Piston, Stock sets and bullet guide I don't find anything specific to the .308. Are these the same components I used in my 7.62 conversion. (I know the bullet guides are different for the 7.62 and .223, but I machined my own)

    Also for my 7.62 I replaced mag followers and floorplates with U.S. made just to give me some points cushion, I am not finding such for the .308.

    Any information would be appreciated.

     

    I have never done a 7.62, I have done a S-12 and am in the middle of my .308. I am just waiting for my FCG. I used the Tromix moded FCG in my S-12 and I am waiting for my Dinzag modded FCG for my .308 If you use a regular G2 you will have to grind at some point

    The .308 does not need a bullet guide instaled. Aftermarket mags such as surefires are all US parts. The FBMG's current gen only count as one part as the followers and floorplates are imported.

    I hope i have helped some

  21. Need suggestions on what to buy for my S12

    in Saiga-12

    Posted

    I went with the Tromix modded G2 trigger group from MAA, I also used the Tromix DIY trigger guard from MAA. And the modded Retaining plate from Krebbs

    I used a saw grip on mine and I have a Surefire tri-rail forearm on the way.

    I am not sure what stock I will end up with either and ACE or Tromix folder, I am also waffling on the folding part, if I will cut the tang and mod the reciver block for the DIY trigger guard or go with the one where I leave the tang intact, but does not look as nice. I have right now a Tapco folder that feels way to fragile for my S-12.

     

    Look over this site and you may want to try and do the work yourself. Trust me I can cross-thread a lightbuld and with the help and knowledge I recived here I have "denutered" my S-12 and my .308. I also replaced my FCG in my WASR to get rid of triggerslap. Really you can do this!

    Hope this helps Russ

  22. What Stock Fits?

    in Saiga .308

    Posted

    You want the one for a mak 90 stamped. You will have to do a little fitting ( well I did) but that is the right stock. I am having an issue with how the cheekrest goes on though? I ordered mine from Midway and the shipping was fast and it also came with the front upper and lower handguard. I used that on my AK so it did get put to good use.

  23. how does the crush washer work?

    in Tech Section

    Posted

    I have a AK with 14mm LH threads. I removed the slant break and installed an 74 style. There was lots of wobble so i have a crush washer from Dinzag. Here is my question, what side goes towards the break and do i need to notch it for the retaining pin? One last thing do I really "crush" it to make it index tight? Thanks for any response. Russ

    Posted

    hi guys I am in the middle of working on my 308 saiga and have removed all the old stuff and waiting on my new parts. I do have a question. Where can I find the measurements for the PG hole? My search fu is very weak. Thanks for any help Russ

     

    P.S. I will be using the Choate Drag Stock if it matters any

     

     

    I don't know anything about the stock you are getting but here is a great link to a pistol grip hole schematic.
