I'm sure your Bad guys will appriciate the effort you put forth not to clash! (Although the green will clash with the red should you hit your bad guy)

Mine said 83mm. On a good day, I can get about 1/2 that.

I have the guntec USA one on mine. It looks VERY much like the one you have pictured. It works ok, not perfect, but ok. You need to adjust the threads so that the last little bit of tightening occurs when you move the lever. This is a little tricky. Taking the scope off and putting it back on holds zero pretty well, but not perfectly all the time. The mount looks good, does a decent job, and does locate the scope over the centerline. I like it because I use a Red Dot and if I'm ever caught out somewhere with a dead battery, I can unlock it in seconds and have open sites still. Over all, it's n

Those are my two rifles. A .223 Sagia and a SS 10-22. Love them both! The prices you stated are right in line with the going rate. Have fun! you should love them both!

I paid $430.00 for mine back in November. (Pic to the left) Love it! I'm sure you'll love yours too! Enjoy and welcome!

It sounds like you're well on your way! How about a scope?

At the risk of being Captian Obvious, Your problem is probably with your rifle rather then your Mags. I have several Surefires and they all fit perfectly.

Nice work. Great paint job!

1) We need more info on what you want and what your restriction are (Including how much you want to spend) Is it a stock Saiga with standard synthetic stock? Do you want to go tactical? Do you hunt with it? 2) As for vendors, Look at the vendors above. So far I have bought from 3 of them and they are really good, knowlegeable people that can help you with what you need. Need input

There you go Dave, Sweet! I love that stock with the Stainless. That is the next buy for mine.

I am getting 3-4" groups at 100 yards with mine. (Without a scope) I'm kind of new to the Saiga, so I think you can do better then I with some practice. As for the 22 conversion.....Here's my thoughts for what they're worth......I think making a 22 out of an AK should be a crime punishable by public Flogging. I understand the high cost of shooting many rounds of .223 and/or .762 as I am in the same boat. What I did, was go get a Ruger 10-22 for plinking. It is a great, low cost, dependable gun that can easly be upgraded to look like an AR. I would bet that by the time you got done mod

They are definatly PorMags. I bought 2 of them from Dave's.

Not a clue about the Mags, But I love the sign!! Why can't more people see the similarities? "Those who don't learn by history are doomed to repeat it"

Good God Gothchick, that is some serious hardware! What a great gun! I think the only thing missing is some reactive armor. Now, can we talk about your avatar picture.........

You got more there then the whole state of Oregon! A local sporting goods got 500 boxes in and by the time I got there, 2 hours after they opened, they had 7 boxes left.........So I got 7 at least!

Congrats DoX! Very nice work, it looks gorgeous!! Beautiful work and an origional look. Gotta love that!

"... which Saiga might perform best at 500 yards is like asking which Saiga makes the best canoe paddle. " You want a Saiga for 500 yard shots? The simple answer would be one post with 2 words: 'think again'... X2. As always, you need the right tool for the job. Fett P.S. Would the thumbhole stock decrease the effectiveness of my 223 as a canoe paddle?

The price is a little high, but considering the lack of availability, not too bad. Centerfire doesn't show any available. Are they putting it on back-order? When do you expect to get it?

Here's a couple showing them in stock. I don't know if they really have them, or their web site is just out of date. They are real hard to get these days. http://www.armsofamerica.com/firearms/saigarifles.html Here's one on Guns America, but I think this guy's smoking Tree Bark. He wants $899.00 for it! http://www.gunsamerica.com/Search.aspx?T=saiga And Finally, This is what they say at Gilbert Guns. (That's where I bought mine, they were real friendly and had good service.) https://www.gilbertsguns.com/Rifles/Saiga Russian American Armory Saiga 223 16.3" Rifle No

"...this cheap russian piece of shit (As my friends call it)..." They're just pissed off that they spent 3 times as much and their's is no better! (And probably less reliable!)

Dox, Here is the reply I got from Russian/American Armory: "Thank you for your interest in our products. I would need to look at the stock to identify the wood. It is either beech or birch." Clyde Woods Sales & Marketing RAAC Hope this helps. Don't forget the pics when you're done!

DOX, I'm not sure what type it is. It's what came on it. I can tell you that I think the Stock and Handguard are two different types. If you go to the pics thread on page 9 you will find a bigger pic of my gun. The Stock seems to be some type of hardwood. (Maybe Russian oak or birch) but the handguard looks almost like some kind of burled wood. I have sent an e-mail to them asking what type of wood is used. We'll see if they answer. If they do, I'll let you know.

Looks cool. I love the thumbhole too. Be sure to post pics when done!

Ahhhh......The Peoples Republic of New Jersey. (I am from Philly origionally) I'm sure you're much safer with a 15 round mag then the Satanic 30 rounder! Anyway, nice gun! Enjoy it!
