Holy hell - what's going on with prices?
opto_isolator replied to opto_isolator's topic in Saiga 7.62 X 39
Who would have known these things would appreciate that much! -
I bought 2 rifles a while back - around $400 each unconverted. I converted them....and of course Obummer banned them from import. I knew the prices would go up, and they did. But they came back down. I went to check on the market-place because Century Arms is having an auction for one on their web page - their auction is up to $1500 already for a converted Saiga! I went to gunbroker and looked - they are all pretty much around that price range. DAMN! I thought with Trump in office prices would come back down - I guess not!

They're Here.... Kalashnikov USA KS-12
opto_isolator replied to Lone Star Arms's topic in LONE STAR ARMS
The problem with that nice machining job is quantity. How many of these things can they crank out with machining like that? That's why Mother Russia was able to pump these things out left and right - not A+ quality like you see above. Also makes me wonder if the prices will be higher considering that better build quality as well. -
Have one - love it! Want to get the compact model, someday!

Most effective muzzle brake for taming recoil?
opto_isolator replied to Sirex's topic in Saiga 7.62 X 39
I wish more manufacturers made brakes in 24.5 threads versus 14.1. The options for us are more limited!!! -
I thought that Magpul was going to release a steel reinforced version of this mag? I don't see anything on their web site that indicates that.

US-made Saigas possible?
opto_isolator replied to SgtRaven's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
What they NEED to do is open a full scale wolf type ammo plant here in the states, cranking out 7.62 and 5.56, and REFUSE to take government contracts! That will bring the ammo back to the people, and bring prices back down!! -
When the hell are the mags going to be available?

HELL FUCKING YEAH! -
The Importation of Defense Articles and Defense Services — U.S. Munitions Import List references executive orders, amends ATF regulations and clarifies Attorney General authority “to designate defense articles and defense services as part of the statutory USML for purposes of permanent import controls,” among other clauses specified in heavy legalese requiring commensurate analysis to identify just what the administration’s intentions are. Among the speculations of what this could enable are concerns that importing and International Traffic in Arms Regulations [iTAR] may go forward to reflect

Golden Tiger ammo in 7.62 - where to get some?
opto_isolator replied to opto_isolator's topic in Saiga 7.62 X 39
I've also stashed some away, just want to acquire more, in case the feds decide to tax it or make internet orders illegal. -
Besides gun broker, anyone know where to obtain this mythical ammo??
-
Will do - and I'll do you one better, I'll video my test. The fact remains though - these mags are cheaper yet more durable than tapco's, promags, or other polymer mags - especially what I paid. As others have noted, they are now going for $36 a piece. Price isn't indicative of quality - but all things considered, not a bad deal at $13 a piece in the current potential ban situation.

FSB hole drilled.....oddly, advice needed.
opto_isolator replied to Rabu's topic in Saiga Rifle Conversions
I asked a question similar to this earlier that got ignored. Looking at the block, it appears the drill bit walked, which is why the hole is sloppy. I saw a thread on AR15 where a guy used a mill bit from a dremel to flatten out the barrel to prevent the bit from walking. Kudos for the bearing puller idea - that is good.
