  3. Barrel Cut Down

    in Saiga .308

    Posted

    I've heard that the .308 Saiga is more accurate from an 18" barrel than a 22" barrel due to harmonics. (vibration of the barrel)

     

    Does anyone know if this is true or not. Has there been any research or studies done to substantiate this claim?

  9. Report on Roseville CA Gun Show

    in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!

    Posted

    If one was in the market for a 30-80 year old Winchester/Marlin/Savage/Mossberg .22 bolt rifle, then this the best show ever. They had tons of em. I wonder if more than half of em even work?

     

    The only articles of interest were a couple of Garands (the cheapest going for $800..) and exactly one Saiga .308 for $700.

     

    I know it's a given, but I'll say it anyway: Kalifornia sucks. :angry:

     

    Yes it does. We get the government we deserve....

     

     

    I escaped yrs ago, great weather, everything else sux! :ph34r:

  17. Best Scope Mount

    in Saiga .308

    Posted

    Okay, I've made up my mind to start my conversion with a nice mount and scope.

     

    I'm thinking Nikon Buckmaster 3-9 x 40 with a good side mount that centers the scope over the dust cover. I'd like a high mount so I can still use the iron sights if needed.

     

    Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction for the scope mount which doesn't have to be quick release.

     

    Thanks!

    Here's one from Mississippi Auto Arms and they are a business member here so you can tell them that you are a member and receive a 5% discount.

    Thanks TR, of course I've changed my mind to a low mount, but the one from MAA look good, I'll give 'em a call and see what they have.

  18. New Saiga Failed to Fire

    in Saiga .308

    Posted · Edited by Hangfire13

    a lot of us use really cheap ammo, but berdan primed stuff isn't that bad, did you check your unfired rounds for any firing pin markings? as far as dry firing in your manual you got with your saiga it says do not, but i don't see any real fault with it.....

     

    Yeah I checked for firing pin marks and didn't find any. I'm going to relocate my trigger and buff out any moving parts that look suspect. I'm sure it's an easy fix once I locate the problem.

     

    The older thread that addressed the same problem has some really good pics and info.
