    Ok heres my Saiga .223 after conversion. Went with the Tapco stock and SMG railed forearm. I may put a scout mount and cheapo light on later or maybe a bipod, who knows what I can sneak past the wife? I took it out to our 50yrd range yesterday with 200 rounds of XM193 and had a freakin blast! I was able to score consistent hits on a shootnsee target from bench and freestanding positions. The 4 surefire 30rd mags I have functioned flawlessly and were eager to take all the .223 you could cram into them. The rifle got alot of attention from other shooters at the range and was just plain fun to shoot.

    This is probably just a matter of it being new. In any case, you will need to learn how to disassemble it for cleaning, which should be done before firing anyway. Check out this link to a Utube how-to
    . Wipe down all of the parts with a cleaner such as Hoppe's No. 9, reassemble and then see if it still sticks.

    If it still does, someone more competent than I will have some sage advice. Enjoy your new Saiga and welcome to the site.

     

    Thanks for the welcome pogy...you were right on the rifle just being new...i stripped it down and cleaned it with rem clean and lubed it with clp-cycled the bolt after reassembly and its slick as owl snot now. Im having some tapco and surefire furniture put on tomrw so i cant wait to get to the range! Thanks again:)

    I just recieved my new Saiga .223 carbine today after an impatient week of waiting. The box it came in was pretty well basic but did the trick. Oil bottle,cleaning kit and rod were all there along with the manuals. Mine came in pretty dry-no packing grease at all on anything. I ordered an 30 round Surefire mag to go with the stock 10 rounder and plan on getting a few more when I can. It was a gunbroker buy so I paid a tad more than they were going for last year-Im ashamed to say how much but the rush was on before they were gone so I winced and hit "buy now" lol

     

    The only trouble Im having so far is the bolt is stuck in the rear position and no matter what I do it just wont release. I know this is probably a newb question so feel free to beat me down on my first post! I used the search but just couldnt find anything on this problem..any help would be appreciated. This is a great site and look forward to hanging out with you guys..
