First of all if you want kindness you came to the wrong sight O the'll help you with your questions BUT the'll have your credit card max out. From what I read your all ready done ,buying all those guns and skeet shooting on top of it, if that is'nt enough. I skeet and trap shoot and now I just finished my 3rd. Saiga conversion and my credit card is in shambles. My wife told me to stay away from Saiga 12.com the'll get you in trouble. But the scope mount I like and it's works very well is the AK to Weaver low mount from Tantal, rock solid, scope is up to you some like iron sights. I can shoot j

First thanks for the info on the gas piston but that will have to wait for now I have other problems. This is the 3 rd Saiga I have converted, two 223's & a 308. I just finshed the last 223 and when I manually set the trigger pushing down on the hammer with my thumb it works fine but when I put the bolt and bolt spring assembly in and cock the bolt back it dosen't push the hammer into full lock up hence when I release the bolt the hammer follows with it without me pulling the trigger back. the parts are tapco G2 single hook all new. Now I didn't put the bho back in as I feel it give me

where can I buy a usa gas piston for a 223/16" Sagia so as to stay in the legal parts count?

about a 1yr ago a converted a 223 & 308 saiga. Back then Remmington purchased the Bailka line and Siaga's were drying up and mags. impossible to get. Today I bought a new Saiga 223 and the dealer had 762x39 in stock and said they are now shipping and he can get more. Is that correct and if so can I purchase new 223 10 rnr mags? and where?

nice idea Indy: nice to have people in the know

I made up 1 mag.with the screw method only I made some small changes. I drilled and tapped a 8/32 allen button head screw and put permament locktite on the threads. Ran 300 rnds. threw it today no problems. I wanted to made sure the screw didn't back out, a tack well would be better but well see if the locktite holds up under the test of time. The first mag I made was E.German and I welded a 1/4 bar to the front of the mag. but I only have a stick welder and it's easy to screw up with that so that's why I used the screw method. I plan to buy a mig welder then I can build up the front of the m

I put two 22ga. plates on the sides of my E. German mag to stop the side to side rocking, I soldered them on by first tinning the whole surface of the mag. where the plate would rest so as to have 100% contact and insure total strength, this seems to be the gauge to use to get a nice snug fit, just had to do a minor amount of filing to make the mag. go in for full contact, it's like a factory made mag. no more side to side rocking.Now that I got the proto type finished I' make up more.

do they feed without a feed ramp on the mag?

Well I persisted and got the E.German mag to function flawlessly. Welded a feed ramp to the front of mag. using a 1/4" flat plate, I'am now going to put 12 guage plate's to the sides of mag to stop the side to side rocking.I'am not pissed anymore, I love my Saiga again. If I was back in the shop and had all the equipment( I'am retired) it would be a piece of cake. A Tig welder would make the job very easy and professonal looking.

Bought 2 new E. German 223 mags. fit them as described here NO Good they jam on dry fire, with the ammo hitting the breach face of the barrel driving the bullet into the case. Reinstalled stock mag. no problems. This is with a feed ramp mod. Pissed more money wasted. Also don't like the way the E. German mags. rock this is a little to crude for me.

Gentlemen today I installed a feed ramp in myS223 from3/4" pipe: easy job. Took it to the range with my stock saiga mag, a tight fit but works excellent . This week end I will go to a PA. gun show and get some mags. I was going to get 223 weigler mags and modify. Is it the 223 Weigler mags that I want or are there other's that I should consider? some same 223 bulg. plastic mags? I've folllowed everyone's advice so far with the conversion and the feed ramp. Thanks for the help. Also I used a 6/32 screw on the feed ramp to mount it. Being in the metal trades all my life I couldn't see using a 1

Feed ramp:If I install a feed ramp from the Saiga conversion web sight " the red one" made from 3/4" pipe is this the feed ramp most commonly used by everyone here for the 223 Saiga? Also once I install a feed ramp can I still use my original 10 rd. mag?

Has anyone ever suscessfully converted any 308 mag to fit a Saiga? One gun dealer I buy from said that a Romax Drag.style 7.62x54 will fit the Saiga, but he's been known to get reckless with the truth. Isn't there some one out there who has suscessfully adapted a mag.

Gentlemen don't get excited we in NJ have learned about gun control, they can only take your gun if you give it to them. Gun control is about one, thing they can't control you if you own a weapon.

People get all bent out of shape over nothing and beleive everything they here or read, remember the Lawyers their the reason behind this 556,223 controversity. There is no difference in this than if you built a bench rest rifle with a match chamber and wanted no more that say .010 bullet jump, the pressure will climb verses a standard chamber. The REAL problem comes in when we reload military brass as it has less powder space capicaty and if you reload to maxs. load data with this tight chamber, now you stand a chance of case rupture, but blow the barrel Bull SHIT all barrels are engeneered t

I did the conversion because I could not stand the standard trigger, the idea of a trigger that has a upward motion to it's pull was very unnatural to me, plus the standard stock , I could not get a comfortable grip on it, although I shot it well.I think the reason most convert is we can not leave well enough alone we have to as we see it improve the product. It's the nature of the beast.Plus I like assultie looking weapons, I donot need a high cap. mag although I like the look. I don't care for blasting away, but if someone else does I say enjoy. I was skeptical of a 308 Ak at first and still

I went to the range early today and found one problem that I think would cause the inaccurcy. When I did the conversion I installed a Ace skeletonized stock on close inspection the factory roll pin had a small amount of play making the butt stock rock back & forth, which would explain why I would get a nice group then the point of impact would change. I redrilled the hole to next size roll pin it's nice and tight now, but I noticed that the stock is very springy and I can make it flex with a small amount of hand pressure. We'll see next trip to the range Monday. Tomorrow Sunday is 410 skee

voultures all of you, everyone wants my guns.My sons are already dividing them up and I only partially dead. Sorry no sell, like I said tomato stake if it don't start acting right.

yes I it could be barrel temp. but isn't that the point of a semi auto, m1 garand's normally don't have that much of a accuracy problem in semi auto mode and I'am not shooting in a high rate of fire, I'am old SLOW. We'll get to the bottom of this. Next step; Winchester 748, Hornaday match cases, Serria matchking bullet, If this don't work; in the garden tomato stake

When I was young I was sure, not anymore

I found a detailed step by step with pictures in a old thread and have it on my favorties But I don't know how to tell you to get there accept look in Yahoo search under Saiga Conversions. The sight will come up in a red format and in his last steps he discusses the mag. conv. you are look for. I don't know anything about this accept I followed his advice on converting my 223 and it was correct. If you try it and it works I'd like to know.

My mistake the cross pins 2 on the rear of reciever of the 223 saiga are the ones I removed, I did not remove any from the 308 as there is only one forward of the hammer, in my pissed off mode I was thinking I removed them from the 308 also, still I don't know what is cause of the inaccuracy of the 308, maybe it needs a different heaver bullet. Another fellow at the gun club has the same problem only with the Romax Drag. 762x54, same problem, fire single shot shoots well install loaded mag. poor accuracy.

I have tried iron sights same results. As for the video you mention a member at the club brought this up and told me about it. I didn't know if it was true or not but now that you say it also it would confirm what he said. AS for modifying the hammer and not removing the cross pin this is new to me. The information I got from this forum was to remove it and I questioned that at the time.I'am not done yet, I will tinker till I get it right after all that half the fun.

yes your right 1 cross pin ,2 rivets I drilled out. anyway it's not the ammo because with 2 shots firing a single shot at a time I can make 2 holes just about touch. 5 shot group 2". In my T/C Encore same ammo 1" at 100yrds. That cross pin was put there for a reason and that was to reinforce the reciever from twisting.Now I don't say that this is what's the cause of my accuracy problem, but I will say this you get what you pay for. The 308 is as we know a high pressure round and that's a lot of force on a sheet metal reciever and not that it can't take it but that's not to say we didn't alt
