WTS Saiga 21" Partially Converted
CaptLouie replied to CaptLouie's topic in Unsorted Ads prior to November 2012 (WTS / WTT)
That was the idea I had. A nice 4X to 10X scope, and muzzel break. Saw someone that had a "special" barell installed (maybe custom made), about a 28 ro 29". REALLY could reach out there... but to much added $$$ for my blood (budget)... Thanks for looking... -

Your best gun bargain
CaptLouie replied to Elkhound's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
Chinese AK (FULL) from a buddy back from Vietnam for $40.00. Way back then (1971), I didn't know the "RULES" but realized very quickly I COULD NOT HAVE IT... Gave it back to my buddy (who had already spent the $40 on beer and cigs)... ... so guess you could say it was my most expensive weapon... ...nothing for forty bucks... -
Saiga merit badge anyone?

Do to the various calibers, models, world-wide-coverage..... Suggest we do a forum "Ribbon" valid/awarded for your first Saiga Conversion piece... Folowed by a "Saga Leaf" to put on the ribbon... for each DIFFERENT Caliber you have/complete... Sorta like a ribbon with clusters.... -
Is that one a UTG/Leapers side mount your using? If so, How is the alignment on your centerline for the scope? I'm having an issue with one I purchased 6 months ago and just now getting around to using. It's off to the right by 1/2" of center line.

*** if this comes through twice... having internet problems this morning*** Only thing I've heard of is to shim the front mount. Sticky back tape inside the lower ring should give enough height to correct to 200-300 yds. Might have to play with single or double tape, or use the two-sided and only remove the backing for the side that attaches to the mount??? Looks like Cxxx, but works.... I've been told...

I have a similar unit but secured with three (3) lock screws. My problem is it is WAY OFF TO THE RIGHT of centerline of the barrel and fixed iron sights? How does yours line up???

Pistol-grip-only shotguns
CaptLouie replied to 22_Shooter's topic in Other Weapons - SHOTGUNS (non-AK based)
I don't know either. Probably like AZ-Dave said, because it looks "cool" and people see it in movies. I think it's the same as fools holding handguns sideways. Another PG with Top Wire Folder is the Knox setup with recoil-reducer (for us really old farts)... ... They claim up to 65%... ...thinking about putting one on my Maverick-88 instead of the ATI stock... Should still work with the heat-shield and sights from ATI... http://www.blackhawk.com/product/SpecOps-F...ck,1156,165.htm Bad part is they're about twice the buck at ~ $129... They (Knox) also have a PG -
Dinzag completly modifies the G2 setup to fit the 308 and work with the 308 safety. Best to get your G2 setup from him He doest GREAT work... Just got mine back (with the latest modification)... Installed easy and safety seems to work fine... There are BHO installation hints/tips on the forum... Most use a piece/pieces of dental flose to hold the BHO Spring inplace while inserting the pin... Luck

ITEM IS OFF the market Pending Funds Economics force me to drop my pet conversion project for awhile.... I need to sell my 308 partially converted setup... Weapon has NEVER BEEN FIRED! I've been very careful doing my conversion... ...and spent lot's of time waiting on parts... Latest is waiting on a re-modified Dinzag FCG to fix the safety lever issues. That's due in later this week... so..... Saiga .308 20" in Factory Box with all the bells and whistles (except the Factory Mag)... 1 - Factory - Forearm/Screw (not installed)... 2 - Factory - Buttstock/Screws (not install

I had gotten my FCG and some other Conversion parts from him. I think he is trying to modify the FCG itself. He had already did a modification (that worked for most .308s) but mine (and evidently some other units) still didn't work. If you follow that other thread I mentioned, about welding a tip onto the Safety Tang, you'll see how they fixed their's locally. Not sure where you got your FCG... Member "jammer" has a picture of the weld job on the Saefty Tang in that forum. Believe it's first page... I'm just waiting to see how well the "change" works... may buy an AK safety lever a

With the Saiga .308, the factory FCG can be removed without drilling. Just disengage the retaining wire and push the pins out. Once the factory FCG is removed, look for the PG nut hole from the inside. It may or may not be there, but it is much easier to tell looking from the inside with the factory trigger removed. If the PG nut is not there, you will have to cut it yourself, or you can use the special trigger guard from SaigaTech. Removing the bottom plate is simply a matter of grinding/drilling spot-welds/rivets and popping the plate off with a small cold chisel. For a replaceme

If you've got a 308, the "factory" safety lever "tang" is too short to correctly catch/stop the modified tapco G2 FCG. I have one from Dinzag, (tapco G2 single hook) and he is "reworking" my FCG so the stock Safety lever/tang will work....... maybe..... Seems the "tang" on my 308 safety lever is "straight across" and shorter (~ .030") than any he had ever seen before. I've also heard that a "standard???" AK Safety lever will work. Pictures of those I've seen DO have a longer tang on the safety lever. Example... Think this is a chinese AK safety lever... https://www.apexgun

Do you have the FCG that Dinzag offers specifically for the Saiga .308? If so, I would contact Dinzag about it. His .308 FCG is made to resolve that very safety issue, among other things. Yep, Dinzag 308 FCG, retention clip, etc. . I've been in contact with him.... Just need the time to break-down my 308... check the items... and take some photos and get back to him... Based on his description, don't think my FCG set has his mod... need to verify... Hopefully do that tomorrow while momma is gone... Thanks for the response... JUST AN UPDATE.... I sent my FCG and Safety

Right what nissantech said, do a search on the conversion process. ... also search on specifically 308 conversions issues... The .308 is different in that it does not have the two "drill out rivits/welds" that are on the typical conversion process for the other calibers.
