  7. Got my Saiga 12!

    in Saiga-12

    Posted

    I ordered the gun through my local gun store. I don't intend to scope the gun, but what kind of optics would work well bolted to the AK scope mount?

    Look into Koba optics as dicussed in the thread linked below:

    The front sight is meant to be operated by a rotory device which does not move.

     

    Look closely. There is a small leaf type spring that locks the wheel. Lift the spring with the punch tool in your cleaning kit- - - you can get to it through the hole in the side of the sight rail. At this point you can turn the elevation adjustment wheel.

     

    Just think how fast your elevation setting would go to hell if the adjustment didn't lock! One, maybe two shots I'd guess.

     

    Russian engineers maybe to think some about good sights after all, no?

    There is a leaf spring that locks the rail adjustment wheel. Directly behind the adjustment wheel you will see a small hole. Insert a stylus type tool (like the one included with your cleaning kit) and lift up. The rail adjustment wheel should turn freely.

    As for gas settings look in the faq :

  13. Ziff-Davis Media disrespect Russian Veterans!READ!

    in Saiga-12

    Posted

    Ziff Davis Media recently published a doctored photo that is highly disrespectful of Russian soldiers specifically and all military veterans in general. Look over what follows and if you are as angry as I am spread the word and hammer their offices with phone calls, email etc..

    I'm posting this here as it is one of the few places I know of that has regular Russian visitors. I'd like to see this get international attention. Jerks like this should be known for the kind of people they are.

     

    If you haven't seen this thread on Gunsnet here's the story-

    Ziff Davis Media used a doctored photo in their magazine Electronic Gaming Monthly. The picture showed Russian soldiers holding advertising for a video game called Socom II.

    The original photo showed the soldiers holding pictures of their fallen comrades.

    Here's a link:

    Instead of offering an apology, After Ziff-Davis received a certain amount of negative attention due to the Gunsnet thread they threatened a lawsuit over copyright violation- here's the link:

  18. Question about the Saiga's gas settings

    in Saiga-12

    Posted

    This has been covered extensively. If you do a search on this forum with the key words 'gas setting' you'll get a wealth of information and links.

    Also, make sure to THOROUGHLY clean your gun before use. These were shipped with a healthy coat of cosmoline and you'll want to strip it bare. . . . even to the point of disasembling the bolt and pulling the firing pin out. If you neglect this you'll soon run into problems, so get the grease out!

    That said, have fun and report back when you're done breaking it in!

  22. Is it legal to have 8rd mags?

    Is it legal to have 8rd mags?

     

    The letter of the law says yes.

    Somehow though it has become acceptable for law enforcement agencies to assert that the letter of the law is less important than the will and determination of their administrations.

     

    Vote.

  24. Saiga-12 front sight adjustment??

    in Saiga-12

    Posted

    There is a notch in the top of the elevation adjustment wheel. A piece of spring steel fits into the notch to keep the wheel from turning. The punch tool in your cleaning kit can be used to hold the spring up while you turn the adjustment wheel. Look closely- you should be able to see it on close inspection from the side of your gun.
