  1. I've got 25rd and 20rd Surefire MAGs for my Saiga 308. No problem with inserting or releasing the MAGs. Tight, but sold fitting.
  2. MANY THANKS to RAAC and SaigaStock... My 308 BHO spring is on the way!!! These are some straight up people! If you need a replacement BHO spring or BHO Plate, I'd contact SaigaStock and let them know... ... along with the Saiga model type.
  3. MANY THANKS to Clyde at RAAC and SaigaStock. My 308 BHO Spring (and another BHO plate incase I mess up again) is on the way.. RAAC and SaigaStock are STRAIGHT UP PEOPLE!!!!
  4. This is one BAD ASS looking bunch.... Except for the lovely ladies! This is my fat ass crammed into an ATV on an island near Sitka, Alaska last fall. I'd use a better photo, but none of mine get much better!
  5. Well then... that is my plan Stan....! By the way, I just checked my current (factory) Hammer Spring in the 308 (took it out to check)... If one leg is shorter than the other.... it's no more than a couple of RCH's... Cannot see any noticable difference in the legs on mine... ... ya just never know.... ya know.... Thanks...
  6. K.... here I am in this Loop-loop-loop again..... Where can I get a Hammer Spring for my Saiga 308 rifle? AK springs I've been able to find, not for Saiga specific (such as the 308). Could I (maybe) just use the AK, trim the end on the RH side and re-bend...? or.... Duh.....
  7. MANY thanks... With my history and Springs (the old broken BHO story) I'm going to order me up a couple.... Any idea about the "return spring"? Same story or are they different??? Louie
  8. Thought I'd seen this topic somewhere on the Forum, but couldn't find it with multiple searches... I've been told that.... The AK Hammer Spring won't fit the Saiga (in general), too short... different length, etc. etc. I've also been told that.... The AK Hammer Spring and the Saiga 308 Hammer Spring are the same, AK spring can be used...... Anyone know for sure... or tried using an AK Hammer Spring? Thansk, Louie
  9. The SAW PG is hollow, has a plate on the bottom retained by a spring that fits inside a groove in the bottom/sides of the PG. The Screw and lock washer SHOULD have been inside. If not... I'd get in contact with who you purchased it from or DOUBLE CHECK your packaging and make sure it didn't come out inside the bag (hopefully) or the box.. Mine was inside the SAW PG and I had to pop the spring retainer and open the plate to get it out... Luck...
  10. YEP... If you ordered the PG nut and bolt, you got the setup for an AK PG attachment... If you ordered the SAW PG (comes with a bolt and locknut) it uses a MUCH shorter screw... but does need the PG Nut. You can get the PG Nut and Screw (AK) or just the PG nut... Luck, Louie
  11. Little trick I learned with my 308 and reinstalling the Bolt back into the frame... Manually depress the hammer beyond the cocked position until the disconnector engages the hammer (probably have to pull and hold the trigger back to keep the disconnector engaged...during the reinstallation process). Bolt goes in MUCH easier... Luck
  12. I agree... I used the measurements from the diagram as my quide. Mine measured out as partially in front of the old trigger slot and overlapped it some. I cut based on the measurements and then tried my nut and PG mounting. I ended up "elongating" my PG nut hole further into the old trigger slot (toward the rear). The WIDTH is critical in my opinion. the PG nut can slide forward or rearward a little. I was then able to move my PG up firm against the re-mounted trigger guard (I used the factory guard modified and reinstalled).
  13. Just received my 308 (500rounds for $194.95 + delivery. LOOKS GREAT! Nice gentleman in COLD wisconsin... On GunBroker.com...

  14. Answered my own question. Got the specs and measurements.. May fit with mods (oversize version), but.... Was told UTG plans on a quadrail for the Saiga in Mar/May timeframe.... might happen... ...for now... on with my order and garage mod...
  15. Unfortunately, no, it won't. The 308's barrel is too large a diameter for the mounting hardware used by Ultimak. Barrett I've been talking with several vendors about the UTG Quad Rails. They have them for AK varients, Yugos, AMD's but not for Saiga rifles (308). Got the measurments, thinking I might modifiy one to fit my 308. Could still work... but I was told they are PLANING on a Saiga rifle (308) version in March/May timeframe.... ... will it happen... who knows... I'm going ahead with my modification attempts for now... Would they work for you or are you AK puris
  16. This diagram is from another post in the forum. I got a copy at dinzag's web site... Hope it helps...
  17. I'd check with Cobra_76_two..... He does some modifications but he might need your factory unit also?
  18. I found Stu's conversion of help also. It's on the web but you can PDF print each section for a reference... http://www.stu-offroad.com/firearms/saiga/saiga-1.htm Luck...
  19. Did you check and see if you had a BHO Spring? I'd still like to get a factory one if possible. Thanks,
  20. A taller Scope Mount would work, but then the problem of adjusting/shimming the scope mount to get it to align with the target, etc. My Scope Field of View is something like this diagram I drew... ... Front iron site sticks up into the view, makes it difficult to focus on the target... Maybe remove the front iron site and have something that can be mounted (set screws) when I really only want the iron setup??
  21. ANY HELP OUT THERE? Should I put this on the Tech forum???
  22. 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...
  23. OK guys, I did a detailed search, but.... ZIPppppp Thought the Tech Section would be the best place to ask this question and get inputs from all the (respectfully) Old Farts... Wondered if anyone has used any of these bolt on Picatinny Quadrails and if they would work on my 308? Similar unit but built for "oversize barrel" ?? Now I confess to Not Being an AK purist... but would like to add one of these to my 308 for some attachments... ...IF they WILL FIT! Many thanks for any input....
  24. Add me to your list if you get an answer. I have a similar open thread on the "308 conversion" entry asking for some input or suggestions. My front Iron sight is in the Scope's field of view... bummer....
  25. I just purchased (another) 16" black furniture 308 from... http://www.ddsranch.com/cart/index.php?mai...p;keyword=saiga They're not a sponser on our sight, but they have the 16" and 20" 308 Saiga's available. Just checked this AM and they still indicate they're available... If you want (settle for) the 308 with wood furniture, see my post on this topic about a private seller I found at $525...
