  3. What is the big deal about modifying your Saiga

    in Saiga .308

    Posted

    mechanics of the trigger on the 308 don't lend itself to a pistol grip. The 223 has a more vertical axis to the trigger group and would be better suited than the 308 to a pistol grip.

     

    What? I'm sorry but I don't get what your going at. All the triggers in my converted saigas feel the same. You are not keeping that extended trigger or linkage when you do the conversion. You replace it with a much better trigger. You apparently know how to polish the group so polishing a better trigger then the stock one works even better. the differnce in triggers is like night and day. The rifles and shotguns also balence better as well. I will admit the saiga 308 is a little more front heavy. but this is true reguardless of the conversion or not. Basically I'm telling you to shoot a converted one next to yours before you tell people that converting is not worth it. There is more to being a good shot then spending all your money on ammo. you need the gun to work for you. For alot of us that is a conversion, If your happy with yours the way it came, good for you. I don't see the need to "vent" about what others do to their guns. If you don't like the fact that most of us on here have a conversion and talk about them, you have to understand that customization and conversions drive these forums. It would get pretty dull if it was a forum full of guys who only had stock saigas. I think we would run out of topics pretty quickly. Lastly, you should understand that you came across kind of self-rightous and it may ruffle some feathers. Enjoy your saiga we'll enjoy ours.

     

     

     

    Basically the guy does not like our hobby.That is what I get from the post.Condescending attitude and all.

     

    You guys need to chill out he is not attacking you or anyone that converts there guns, this kind of stuff isn't right for you or anyone to say. He obviously hasn't ever shot a gun with a pistol grip or thumbhole stock, right 7.62x51? Which is y he doesn't understand how awesome and more comfortable they are to shoot.

     

    I would like to add 7.62x51, they are and I would suggest you try it someday. Just for your info i put a thumbhole stock on every gun I can b/c I love them so much, I feel I can hold the gun steadier + I am more comfortable carrying it. I hope you don't let these guys bother you, some of them are very touchy b/c they can vent more securely behind their computer screens.

     

    Everyone should just chill out and be happy that we all have these great guns.

  10. Saiga 223 range report

    in Saiga .223

    Posted

    I have the same problem with brass from my saiga 223. But it reloaded just fine, all i needed to do was give my nifty lee chamfer tool a few turns in the primer pocket that solved the problem. Hopefully you can do the same.

     

    Anyone have any idea y they put this little tit on the bolt face?

    Maybe so it can't be reloaded, or for a better seal around the primer.

     

    black dog if you find this brass useless i would gladly take it off your hands =)

    I have done all kinds of crap

     

    - fast food

    - construction (few years)

    - hardware store ( I hated that place the smell makes me sick)

    - I worked on a commercial fishing boat last year ( scallops, outside of Ocean City MD)

    - Now I work with people who have developmental disabilities

     

     

    I was going to school for engineering but that was put on hold so I could pay off some bills, I will start back up in a year or so. I would like to be a professor and build custom rifles in the end

  19. Peep sight brain fart. Could this possibly work?

    How do you adjust these things for elevation?

     

    Do they have to be set up just right?

     

    The rear sight is typical German engineering which means you just can't twist here and there to bring things into alignment. The rear sight is adjustable for windage and elevation. Windage is adjusted by loosening the large set screw you can see at the top rear of the sight then using a screwdriver to turn a smaller screw on the right sight of the sight. This will move the sight left or right. As for elevation, there is a special HK tool (or you can use a pair of needle nose pliars) that slips over the drum and down onto the base which disengages the locking tabs thus enabling you to turn the drum assembly up or down. There is not an unlimited amount of travel available for windage and elevation so the sights do have to be installed pretty close to where they should be. The trade off for going through the trouble of correctly installing them is that they look great and, more importantly, work great.

     

    wow.. great thanks, I have always wonderd =)

     

    p.s. we should probably let people know about there peep sight options. B/c it does seem pritty popular.... just my 2 pennies
