  1. http://www.saysuncle.com/archives/2006/01/...le_point_sling/ Did a google and found several sites for making your own tactical sling. Cheaper and more rewarding.
  2. Good looking digi-cam. Very few people can pull off a good, random looking pattern.
  3. I know the Dinzag site says a 2 to 4 week delay. Just wodering if small orders are running closer to the 2 week mark.
  4. hmmm. This will be the last item I do in the conversion process. I have no access to a drill press. I was thinking that I could drill with a hand held drill. What is it about the process that necessitates a drill press?
  5. Seems like there are 2 options for making a bolt hold-open. 1. is to modify the Tapco hammer so that the stock part will go back in after conversion. or 2. to cut a slot in the dust cover to hold open the bolt. Seems like option 1 has some advantages, but seems like it might get in the way when pulling the trigger. With option 2 you have a hole in the dust cover. Which option did you pick and how do you like it????
  6. I have not had a chance to fire my Saiga yet, but the G2 trigger is much lighter than the one that was on my DPMS AR. The trigger makes a huge difference, and could account for the Saiga beating out the AR. What kind of trigger groups are you using? I had the standard AR lower parts kit from DPMS. As I remember it the RRA kit was a little more, but it had to be better than the one in the DPMS kit. Very heavy pull.
  7. I have my conversion about 90% done. waiting on a grip nut and bolt and a retaining spring. I put the new G2 trigger in to see how it fits. All is well, but sometimes the bolt gets hung up on the hammer(?) and I have to bump the charging handle to get it to move back into battery. It there something that needs to be polished or will this smooth itself out with a few 100 rounds down range? Can't wait to get the needed parts to get to the range. Thanks, Chris
  8. I had been looking at the sportsman guide and I decided to just order and wait. They say Jan 15 which is my birthday so I guess I just bought myself a birthday present.
  9. Anyone finding it impossible to find Saiga 223 mags from promag? Everywhat I go they are back ordered. Is it that these haven't been released or are they just selling like crazy?
  10. man! I just came back from the fun shop today guys said he has none and IF he can get anymore it wont be till the end of Jan. I called a whole bunch of other places and all are dried up....... It is looking scary out there guys. Look on gunbroker. There were tons of them at reasonalbe prices a few weeks ago.
  11. Yes you can shoot them as long as you meet 922 compliance first. Yes, I have purchased a US butt-stock, grip, and trigger group which will make me 922r complient. Once I am satisfied with the reliability of my initial conversion I may add bullet guide, but I want to be sure I have all the bugs out before complicating things with another add-on. Thanks, Chris
  12. As I understand it, if it is a Saiga mag or a Surefire mag, or a promag for saiga(?) I can shoot with these and NOT install a bullet guide. Is this correct, or only for the first two?
  13. I have always loved the simplicity of the AK design and for that matter the SKS. This rifle is no different. Came gift wrapped in all that smell preservative paper, but I guess it sure beats cosmoline. I have no 223 rounds to cycle, but everything appeared to operate as designed. To my untrained eye it appears that the AK trigger opening is already cut into the receiver. Actually, the current trigger parts kind of rest within the recess made by the opening and the plate welded to the bottom of the receiver. It almost seems as though the trigger wouldn't work if that recess were not cut out. I
  14. I just my Saiga today from the FFL. Bought it at an online site called van Raymond outfitters. I am not associated with them. I received fast friendly service and I got the 21.85" barreled version for 329 plus shipping. They had the 16 versions for 319. There was a Saiga that was converted at the importer which said it was 922r complient that I saw on gunbroker. It was a bit more than if you converted a Saiga yourself, but I guess that might not be a bad deal. If I recall it was right around $500
  15. So if I am using Saiga mags I don't need it. What about ProMag and Surefire for the Saiga? or are we just talking about people using AK mags and AR adaptors?
  16. I'm getting the parts in order for my conversion, and I came across one that listed on another site that I don't have yet. A bullet Guide! I've seen one, but what is it for and doesn't the stock Saiga have one? If not, why not? If so, why can't I use that one? Thanks, Chris Cahill
  17. Does anyone know if break cleaner can be used as the degreaser? It sometimes leaves a little residue, but would be cleaned off in the denatured alcohol cleaning stage. Has anyone used this method?
  18. I paid about 329 for a 20.5in bbl version plus 16 for shipping at an online store called Van Raymond outfitters.
  19. I send it in a PM as he only appears to have one. If it is a good deal I'd hate for someone to steal it our from under me.
  20. I've sone some searches and haven't found much on converting the Saiga to take 223rem mags. Is this possible with the 223 Saiga? Can the Saiga be easily modified to take AR mags?
  21. I found one of these 30 round zytel polymer mags for $22. Is this a fair price? Are these magazines any good or should I stick with the surefire?
